Jalal Abukhater describes himself as a “Palestinian writer and civil servant based in Jerusalem” who is “an avid fan of humanist literature.”
I’m guessing by “humanist literature” he means wokespeak.
The Israeli flag was inspired by the tallit (the prayer shawl with blue stripes worn by Jews during prayer) as a symbol, with the Star of David being a common symbol of the People of Israel from Biblical times.
Meanwhile:
And as I posted last week
The Palestinian flag is based on the Flag of the 1916 Arab Revolt, currently adopted by the State of Palestine and used to represent the Palestinian people
The common version concerning the origin of the flag entails that the colors were chosen by the Arab nationalist ‘Literary Club’ in Istanbul in 1909, based on the words of the thirteenth century Arab poet Safi a-Din al-Hili.
Ask the high rising spears, of our aspirations
Bring witness the swords, did we lose hope
We are a band, honor halts our souls
Of beginning with harm, those who won’t harm us
White are our deeds, black are our battles,
Green are our fields, red are our swords.
The projection is real.
