I think you forgot a few on your list.
(I would add Syria but I refuse to use the al qaeda flag)
Just wait till you find out who designed the Palestine and Lebanon flags. And all the other Red black green white ones.
??
The British and French.
I always heard that Sharif Hussein designed the Palestinian flag.
Do you have source for this?
Sharif Hussein led the Western backed "Arab revolt". From yours truly, Syces-Picot and T.E Lawrence "of Arabia." The reason the Middle East is in shambles is because of the divide and conquer balkanization Sykes-Picot made possible. Sharif Hussein was a British agent doing nothing more than their bidding.
Palestinians are flying the flag of the revolt which brought them the Balfour declaration. In which the British gave Palestine to the Israelis. It's comically ironic. Though most of them probably don't know this and it's not really worth it criticizing it.
Almost all of Middle Eastern countries after the fall of the Ottoman Empire have a red-white-green-black flag. And they were colonized by the British. It's pretty obvious which colors they're flying.
I'm familiar with Sykes Picot and the history of the Arab Revolt against the Ottoomans. I'm not sure its totally fair to characterize Hussein as a British agent but I'm open to more evidence on the matter.
If we are being honest, Antoun Saadeh had the most realistic analysis of nationhood in the region of "the Levant": everyone is Syrians basically and has been Syrians for thousands of years. These statelets are just parts of bilad al Sham.
However, I'm pretty sure that after the last century of sectarianism and Sykes Picot, that return is basically impossible now and I know for a fact that many people in "Natural Syria" (or Greater Syria) categorically reject the concept.
At this point in time Palestine is the central struggle for all Syrians, Arabs, Muslims, and justice-loving people on earth. And the flag is a universally recognized symbol for that struggle. So I'm going to respect the flag.
2013 poll about biggest threat to world peace. US won by a majority.
