Israel’s Public Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has ordered police to remove Palestinian flags flying in public areas in Israel.
The order, reportedly relayed by Ben-Gvir to Israel Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai, follows celebrations greeting the release of longtime security prisoner Karim Younis in the Arab village of Ara over the weekend, after he served out his 40-year term for the terrorist kidnapping and murder of Israeli soldier in 1980. Footage from the celebrations showed supporters and sympathizers of Younis brandishing Palestinian flags.
Additionally, some far-leftist activists waved Palestinians flags at the demonstration against the government of Bibi Netanyahu in Tel Aviv on Saturday.
Ben-Gvir said that “It is unconscionable that lawbreakers wave terrorist flags, incite and encourage terrorism, and therefore I have instructed to remove the flags of support for terrorism from the public space and stop the incitement against the State of Israel. Identifying with a terrorist group and harming Israel Defense Forces soldiers is not a matter of freedom of expression.”
Under Israeli law it is the police commissioner who has the authority to ban public display of flags so long as the flag in question represents “a sign that has the potential to instigate a disturbance of the peace.” –i24 News
He’s good, Ben Gvir. This is what Israel needs DESPERATELY.
That is why the Far-Leftists hate him;
because he is what Israel needs.
If he were bad for Israel, then the Far-Leftists would love him.
I thank-and-praise HASHEM for this long-overdue improvement!!!!
So-called “Palestinian” flags are like the flags of Nazi Germany,
and never should have been tolerated for even one minute.
