A handful of town councils in Britain have taken to flying Palestine flags to "raise awareness" about the situation in Gaza. It is not surprising to see it in Muslim areas like Bradford or Tower Hamlets, but strangely it has also happened at my local council building...

The immigrant community here is tiny, I suspect it is because our council is run by Republicans such as
this guy. Note how he supports Irish football teams, his favourite bands include Irish rebel music, and his only inspirational figures given is Karl Marx. Yeah, guys like that are my democratic representatives, LOL!
Anyway, to bring it back to topic, this should not be allowed, councils should not be picking sides in foreign conflicts like this, especially when there is no clear cut 'good guy' to side with. I doubt we have much of a Jewish community but this sort of things may well be offensive to them. Apparently a British-Jewish organisation has already voiced their concerns about it. Certainly, I don't think it is a good idea when the conflict has caused a
huge surge in antisemitic attacks in Britain. The council should be backing peace not picking sides.
