The Palestinian Flag: A Symbol of Divided Loyalties The recent victory parade by Barcelona celebrating their La Liga title win turned sour when 18 year old Spanish international Lamine Yamal waved a large Palestinian flag from an open top bus.
This act has sparked outrage among Israeli officials, who claim it "incites hate. " However, the issue is more complex than a simple accusation of incitement.
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz fired off a scathing rebuke on social media, accusing Yamal of inciting hatred against Israel while its soldiers battle Hamas.
