image by Eugene Ipavec, 24 June 2010An 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]](../images/p/ps!tr.gif)
image by Željko Heimer and Eugene Ipavec, 13 Jun 2009About 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.

A conjoined Palestine-Lebanon flag with the Arabic slogan: "We Are All With the Resistance" as seen in an Egyptian "Lawyer's Union" demonstration against Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon in 2006 and against U.S. support for Israel, in Cairo, Egypt; c. 5 August 2006. This "resistance" flag was touted to show Arab solidarity against Israel's then on-going July 2006 military activity in Lebanon and Israel's continued encasement of the Gaza Strip, even though Israel had evacuated all Israeli settlements from Gaza during September 2005. The apparent two-flag joint "resistance" association was that as Israel had evacuated ("been forced out of") Gaza, so Israel would soon be expelled from southern Lebanon (and the Arabs' hope: from Palestine, too). The flags were apparently distributed in Cairo by the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt.

A flag of Palestine with on its white middle stripe the black-letter Arabic
slogan of "sawf nusaily fi alquds" or "We will pray in Jerusalem". As seen near
the city of Maroun Al-Ras in southeastern Lebanon near the Israeli border; c.
Feb. 2020. The implication here means that although Jerusalem is currently in
Israel, this Palestinian flag promotes their dream of re-accessing some part of
Jerusalem (if not all) for inclusion into some future Palestinian state. Muslims
may pray today in Jerusalem (al-Quds) such as atop the Haram al-Sharif (Temple
Mount), but the city is not currently under Islamic control.

A national flag of Palestine with on the middle white stripe the Arabic slogan "alquds laysat lilbaye" [alquds = Al-Quds = "The Holy" city = Jerusalem] or in English "Jerusalem Not For Sale", as seen atop an archway of the golden "Dome of the Rock" [Qubbat as-Sakhra] atop the Temple Mount" [Haram al-Sharif]; c. 29 April 2022. (credit: AMMAR AWAD/REUTERS).
The "Haram al-Sharif" is located in eastern Jerusalem, and it was controlled
by the Muslim-oriented country of Jordan, until the Israeli military captured it
during the June 1967 war. Although this area was later annexed/absorbed by
Israel, nonetheless, ever since then Muslims desiring a future state of
Palestine want this area to be returned to their control. Hence, their slogan:
"Jerusalem Not For Sale" to Israel during final peace-settlement negotiations.

This flag is meant to hang vertically, from the hoist, text readable in this
position, with the top (black stripe) at the right hand side of the viewer. This
flag seems to be somewhat more oblong than the usual 1:2 ratio of unmodified
Palestine flags, and the triangle seems to be squatter, but that could be due to
a perspective distorsion on the photo. The three words "القدس ليست للبيع"
("alqds list llbiʕ") are set in black letters, each in a separate line, with
wide vertical spaces.

The national flag of Palestine with the Arabic slogan of (reading from right-to-left) "# al-Quds __ Lena" which translates into English as "#Al-Quds is Ours". As "Al-Quds" is an Arabic synonym for "Jerusalem", this flag's meaning is essentially: "#Jerusalem belongs to Palestine". [# = "identify a key word" in text messages on social media.] A thin flag-pole sleeve is along the red-triangle hoist side. {There is also a green ribbon attached to this small flag's thin flag-pole which hides part of the red triangle.} [Credit: Ahmad Al-Rubaye]

A flag of the pro-Palestinian "Freedom Flotilla" organization that tried to sail several ships loaded with supplies to the Gaza Strip in late June 2015, but were unsuccessful in landing the supplies due to the Israeli navy's desire of wanting to first search the vessels for weapons. This flag appears to have divided imagery: the top fourth of the flag shows the national flag of "Palestine", while the bottom three-fourths is in light-blue with the slogan "FREEDOM FLOTILLA" and below it what appears to be the organization's logo.

The national flag of Palestine with a red slogan on the top black stripe that
reads: "I Will No Longer Be Complicit in Genocide", with "RIP Aaron Bushnell" on
the bottom green stripe, and a crude drawing of a uniformed male on fire from
red "flames" burning his clothing. "RIP" is short for the graveyard-memorial
phrase: "Rest In Peace." This imagery refers to U.S. Air Force serviceman,
25-year-old Aaron Bushnell, who on Jan. 25, 2024, while dressed in his military
uniform, stood outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC, announced his
intention to "engage in an extreme act of protest" for Palestine on a livestream
on Twitch, after which he doused himself with a flammable liquid and set himself
on fire and thereby committed self-immobilization. He objected to the U.S.
supplying munitions to Israel that were being fired against hostile Hamas
militiamen in the Gaza Strip, but which also killed and injured many Palestinian
civilians.

The national flag of Palestine with two black Arabic slogans on the middle white stripe, as seen being paraded in Khan Younis, in southern Gaza (Palestine), by armed members of the "al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades" ("Brigades of Saladin the Victorious"), on 29 Sept. 2023. The top black Arabic slogan reads: "Knowledge of Ambush", essentially meaning: "We know how to ambush". The bottom line reads: "al-Nasser Salah al-Deen Brigades" [Deen = Din].
The "Ambush" expertise refers to an incident when early on 17 Feb 2018, a member of the "al-Nasser Salah al-Deen Brigades" placed a regular, unadorned, national flag of Palestine on a flagpole into the wire fence dividing southeastern Gaza from Israel. The flagpole had been booby-trapped inside with explosives. A passing Israeli patrol - after checking for boobytraps around the flag -- removed the flag along with its flagpole from the fence. Once the single Israeli bomb-disposal soldier carried the flag and pole back to his teammates, a member of the "al-Nasser Salah al-Deen Brigades" detonated the explosive-filled flagpole by remote control, which resulted in wounding four Israelis.
This unit is the military wing of the "Popular Resistance Committees" that operates in the Gaza Strip. The hoist is along the red-triangle side of this flag. Interestingly, this 2019 flag exists as a reference to the earlier 2018 flag incident. This flag was seen as early as January 2019. 2018 ambush-film source: https://www.newarab.com.
