Are you really trying to justify the oppression of the Palestinian population on the basis that they didn't have a flag? Should they be treated like animals, on what is basically an open air prison, because they don't have a national anthem? I've posted this many times before, but it's always conveniently ignored: Israel has openly admitted to having a policy towards the occupied territories of keeping the population at a minimal level of survival, just above that of an humanitarian crisis. What effect do you think this has on the population when most live at poverty level, with one meal a day - malnutrition and anemia are common, and some cases end up leading to stunted growth in children - then on top of it, Israel frequently attacks infrastructure, which has lead in some areas to open sewers and contaminated water, spreading diseases, especially among children? Are you saying this is acceptable because they didn't have a currency, and just happened to live in the region?
