When the Ukraine war kicked off there were Ukraine flags all over the place. All the lib houses with the "we believe in signs" had it up. Now I'm not surprised they aren't flying Palestinian flags right now, but I haven't seen a single one and I'm in "blue hole" part of the country. I would expect to see something more than the occasional pin or button. It pisses me off that people still have out their sunbleached Ukraine flags while there is a blantant genocide going on. Truly it reveals the liberal libidinal urge for permission.

Is there a better place to buy a Palestinian flag than amazon?

EDIT: I dont expect the same houses flying Ukrainian flags to fly Palestinian flags. I just expect some homes in my city to be flying a Palestinian flag. Its such a blue hole that theres actually a socialist presence. I know there's people who support Palestine here. I'm not worried about a Zionist lynch mob.

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.
