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.

Further photos of the flag: logo, photo, both from X.

June 2015. These organizations tried to ship supplies from various European nations to communities in the Gaza Strip c. mid-June 2015. (Photo credit: Zaytouna-Oliva)

A white-field flag with the slogan "SHIP TO GAZA" and an image of a two-sail "sloop" sailboat colorized with the colors of the Palestinian national flag: red-black-white-green. There is a hidden flagpole sleeve at the left hoist side. Flag was seen on a dock beside the ship "Handala", a Gaza-aid "block runner" ship, in a Swedish harbor, c. May 2024. "Handala" is a popular cartoon character who champions the pro-Palestine movement.

RIP Aaron Bushnell self-immobilization

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.

Pride was made in .. Gaza

Shown at https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo, the national flag of Palestine flag bearing an Arabic two-line slogan on the middle white stripe that in English reads: "Pride was made in .. Gaza" during the "AFC Champions League Group C" football/soccer match between Iraq's "Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya" and Saudi Arabia's "Al-Ittihad" at the "Franso Hariri Stadium" in Arbil, the capital of Iraq's northern autonomous Kurdish region, on November 6, 202. The word "Gaza" (غَزَّةَ) appears at the bottom left in the slogan. Essentially, this flag praises the Hamas militia raid (Toufan/Tawafan Al-Aqsa or "Operation Al-Aqsa Flood") from the Gaza Strip into southwestern Israel after sunrise on Oct. 7, 2023. A hidden flagpole sleeve is alongside the right, red-side hoist side. (Photo by Safin HAMID / AFP) (Photo by SAFIN HAMID/AFP via Getty Images)

Skull & crossbones flag

The national flag of Palestine with a skull-and-crossbones image located at the left middle tip of the red-triangle canton at the right hoist side of the flag. Seen at a pro-Palestinian demonstration at the "Quad" (between school buildings, a large grassy quadrangle-shaped "hanging-out space" for students) at the University of Washington, located in Seattle, Washington, USA, on April 29, 2024. The television news program did not explore the meaning of this flag. While I could make some speculations about the purpose of this flag, due to its controversial image, I think I will pass on making any unsubstantiated guesses. Maybe some day I'll learn why from my old "alma mater."

A careful look seems to reveal that this is not just a generic icon indicating piracy or danger, but the very specific fictional pirate flag of Captain Ruffy/Lufy from the Japanese children animated series One Piece.
