#228: Let the Flag Fly

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Palestinian flags are not outlawed in Israel. So why do Israeli police officers in East Jerusalem and elsewhere systematically confiscate Palestinian flags, and why does the police go to such great lengths to remove Palestinian flags from the public domain?<br /> This question is the focus of a new petition to Israel's Supreme Court, submitted by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI). Eyal Lurie-Pardes, who co-wrote the petition with ACRI's Tal Hassin is the guest on this episode. <br /></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To review the petition (Hebrew): <a href= "https://01368b10-57e4-4138-acc3-01373134d221.usrfiles.com/ugd/01368b_a54922e33dd94c7eaba0f7d53958ed98.pdf"> https://01368b10-57e4-4138-acc3-01373134d221.usrfiles.com/ugd/01368b_a54922e33dd94c7eaba0f7d53958ed98.pdf</a><br /> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To read Ori's Haaretz article on this topic: <a href= "https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-why-are-israelis-so-frightened-by-the-palestinian-flag-1.10260854"> https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-why-are-israelis-so-frightened-by-the-palestinian-flag-1.10260854</a></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To contact Ori: <a href= "mailto:onir@peacenow.org">onir@peacenow.org</a></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> To donate to APN: <a href= "https://peacenow.org/donate">https://peacenow.org/donate</a></span></p> <p> </p>
