Palestinian Flag Variant With Heart

[Palestinian Flag Variant With Heart] image by Eugene Ipavec, 24 Jun 2010

An odd Palestinian flag or flag-like object showed up at the funerals of the Turkish Gaza-flotilla casualties in Istanbul in an Yahoo news photo (caption: "A stylized Palestinian flag altered to have a heart on it flies above the crowds attending the funeral of a victim of the Israeli naval commandos raid at the Beyazit mosque in Istanbul, Turkey, Friday June 4 2010.")
The heart apparently replaces the hoist triangle.

Turkish-Palestinian Solidarity Flag

About six months ago, Turkish PM Erdogan had a heated exchange with Israeli president Peres at the Davos summit over the then in-progress Gaza war. Erdogan left Davos in a huff immediately thereafter; CNN carried live footage of the PM arriving back home, where his plane was met on the tarmac by a cheering throng of supporters waving Turkish flags and a number of Palestinian flags with the Turkish star and crescent added to the hoist triangle.. From the looks of them, they weren't homemade.
Eugene Ipavec, 13 Jun 2009

Considering the origin of the four-color Pan-Arab flag, which was anti-Ottoman in its inception, this hybrid is interesting. But the crescent-and-star emblem symbolizes informally Islam as much as it symbolizes Turkey, to the extent of some actual flags using this same combination, like the Western Sahara flag.

Flag as prayer mat

At https://www.gettyimages.com a Muslim worshiper is performing rak'ah (pl: rak'att) a series of prayer maneuvers of bowing and prostrating oneself on a prayer mat/rug. The Muslim prayer custom is to wash (even symbolically) one's hands, face and feet before praying. The goal is to keep the forehead from touching the floor (or dirt/filth). As Muslims consider the soles of feet and shoes as being dirty or filthy, at least this worshiper is to be commended for keeping his shoes off the national flag of Palestine while his forehead and hands touch the flag. Apparently, this devout Muslim worshiper believes he is being respectful of the Palestinian flag as he is demonstrating his thanks to Allah that the Palestinians have been allowed to freely vote on January 25, 2006, in selecting which politicians will run their government. As seen in Hawara/Huwara (West Bank/Palestine) about 30km northeast of Jerusalem.
