As others have said, libs don't support Palestine, but also I feel like the more common way to demonstrate solidarity is to wear a keffiyeh.
Also you won't get accused of antisemitism for flying a Ukraine flag.

Ironic considering You Crane is run by banderites.
No you see that's RUSSIAN dezinformatsiya
But Zelenskyy is a Jew so it's okay
Literally "I have a friend who's black so I can't be racist" logic.
Ummm no sweaty, Zelenskyyksyyyy is like Harry Potter. Is Harry Potter antisemitic??
stares at the camera like RedLetterMedia
Because the ADL is a ridiculously outsizedly powerful lobby with data collecting and doxxing operations on dissidents and a misstep can end your ability to find gainful employment, possibly forever. Read up a bit on their pro-apartheid activities back in the day, it's crazy.
Personally, I don't have home insurance.
Is it just fear thats keeping us back? Again, I'm in a blue hole, its very likely that I might just break a seal. Here's hoping.
Best luck o7
pretty much. same reason i don't fly a trans flag even though i think it'd be cute.
i am weak to fire and bullets
There's trans flags all over here. Pretty normal for a business to put one In a window.
Honestly a lot of it probably has to do with young people not owning houses and a lot of renting situations banning you from displaying any kind of flag or sign, I think that's standard in a lot of leases now, Palestinian support skews super young at least in North America so not surprised that older house owning libs aren't taking a moral stand.

I'm familiar with both of these sites they are definitely options if you would prefer not to buy from a mega corpo
There is literally a whatsapp group of rich investors and CEOs and Israeli agents going around getting random people fired for supporting Palestine

I assume you live in America? Here in Ireland Palestine flags are everywhere, they were before the current war but even more so now. There's probably ten times as many Palestinian flags as there are Ukrainian flags at this point
Ireland once again proving themselves to be the only good western country.
It turns out that being the blueprint for western colonisation makes a country pretty sympathetic to anti-colonial causes
Ireland is always on the right side of history because they were the first victims of the British Empire, so they decided they would take the opposite side of the British from then on, which by default puts them on the right side of history.
Liberals don't support Palestine
Like I said, I dont expect the same houses with Ukrainian flags to fly Palestinian flags. I would expect some home to fly one. There are leftist/socialists in my area who do support Palestine.
The only one I've seen is some gigantic Chevy suburban with the entire hood and doors painted like Palestinian flags and also flying a huge one on a pole off the back. Gave them a big thumbs up while I was walking and they honked back.
The cousin of
Hell yeah that rules
Because Ukraine is a neo-nazi comprador regime defending the imperial core and Palestine is an actual embattled and colonized nation. Imperial core propaganda inverts these relationships and pretends they are the opposite. In imperial core propaganda Ukraine is an embattled and colonized nation and Palestine is a neo-nazi comprador regime.
Also people ARE flying palestinian flags, but they are not shown on the news because that does not ally with imperial core propaganda.
Good point that Zionists are trying to smear Palestine with descriptions that match the Ukrainian state exactly, and they Liberals like to pretend Ukraine is a smol bean Palestine
Most of the people whose hearts were bleeding for Ukraine either support Israel or think it's just too complicated, which is supporting Israel with extra steps
express ticket to get hate crimed especially if you're brown. Like that student that got shot and paralyzed
Incidentally, on the train ride yesterday, passing through a little part of the Norwegian countryside, I saw a lone house flying the Palestinian flag. I cracked a little smile.
Not sure what you mean? The Venn diagram of those who support Ukraine and those who support Israel are practically a circle.
Honestly, because I am afraid of being harassed and losing my job.
Because while it’s good to fly them during a protest or everyday out and about, flying a Palestinian flag on your front porch will likely result in someone burning your house down or shooting at it.
It’s one thing to be attacked while you’re in a crowd of people or awake - you can defend yourself or have others help you or run etc. - but it’s another thing to be sleeping and waking up to your room in flames and collapsing
It's nuanced, unlike the invasion of Ukraine which just had us supporting Nazis no issue
There are still Ukrainian flags all over the place where I am, only a couple fewer.
People don't fly Palestinian flags because they don't want a brick in their window or to be branded an anti-semite. Ukrainian flags carried no such risk, Azov be damned.
Same blue “we stand with Ukraine” house by me now has “we stand with Israel” stuff
I live in an area with a lot of pro israel jews, i dont know how im supposed to not be mad. They are bad people and before oct 7th i didnt really think much of them at all
basic sense of self preservation
Maybe where you live
Here you in Chile you cant get more than 100 people together without someone yelling Aguante Palestina
I was wondering this, too, since I've seen my area have huge pro-Palestinian rallies. I have a flag up, but it's the only one I've seen anywhere in the city.
Then I saw this shit and now I get why people might be hesitant https://wgntv.com/news/chicago-news/logan-square-resident-faces-eviction-over-display-of-palestinian-flag/
I'll wear a Palestine hat (and have gotten some wary looks by Boomers for it), but a flag does seem a good way to get it waaay worse, tbh.
There's a lot of them around me. I see kids walking to school wearing flags as capes.
The only one i've seen recently was a cursed Palestinian-flag-over-top-a-Ukrainian-flag. Looked horrible and confused me for a second, especially since the flags weren't going the same direction.
There's the a fair amount of people who actually support both Ukraine and Palestine. They're probably also constantly confused with how the world is moving.
It’s not that complex. Pro-Ukrainian propaganda was significantly more successful than Pro-Israeli propaganda. Ukraine was a flash in the pan for many people, whereas the Palestinian genocide was broadcasted directly to the eyes of many people. Russia and Ukraine at least had the optics of a war with two armies fighting each other. Many people don’t see Hamas as Palestine’s standing army.
They'll figure it out once they stop confusing window cleaner for juice.
I live in a Ukranian neighborhood in Chicago and am too nervous to display a Palestine flag. Could easily see someone throwing rocks through my window, which is a risk I would be willing to take if I didn't love my cats so much.
