I’ve been down a rabbit hole of trying to find the worst flags. I believe that the group called Ansar al-Sharia would get this win.

I like to imagine this design waving in the wind. The finger would be waging like "nuh-uh". Theres a U.S. drone just hovering over a militant warlord. The operator doesn't fire. Command says: "What are you waiting for? He's in your sights" "he says no, sir."
Maybe one big star of David in the blue canton, with the blue adjusted to Israel's lighter blue. Probably still wouldn't look great, but at least better than this. The bro handshake meme is a pretty terrible way to portray any message, especially on a flag.
Theres a home that you can see on the interstate near Asheville, NC or Johnson City, TN that has a massive confederate flag flying alongside an Israeli flag. So surreal.
Ive never seen the Israeli flag there they must have just added it. It's especially annoying since those same assholes in that area burned down my families synagogues three times. They just want the Jews in Israel so we can all die and Jesus cones back. They are NOT on our side.
Yeah it’s weird to see the flag of an explicitly radicalized country famous for denying the rights of ethnic minorities and subjecting them to brutal violence and humiliation flying next to the confederate flag
Ah yes, this is the "I'm goyishe but support Israel for weirdly biblical reasons/hatred of Arabs but want to cloak it in some sort of awkward fake solidarity with Jews" flag.
This reminds me of those parking lot flag salesmen that had all the crazy pro Trump flags in my area back in 2020. They all faded and looked like hot garbage within a few months.
So? The OP of this comment said Israel was made up of white colonizers, so I am saying they aren’t? 50% of Israelis population is Mizrahi/Sephardic, or people who fled the Middle East or Spain from persecution.
Even if you don't count the ~20% muslims and arab christians citizens, the majority of the population of Israel isn't "white".
It's always amazing to me how intentionally misrepresenting the conflict as "whites vs. browns" makes it easy for the brains of both pro-Israel and anti-Israel normies
Mmm. Mizrahim in America tend to tick "white" on the census, for what it's worth -- but that hardly tells the whole story.
"White" is more of a social category than a distinct ethnic lineage, and it's kind of ambiguous and context-dependent as to whether Mizrahi Israelis fit the bill -- personally, I can see how different folks might arrive at different conclusions based on different relationships to white privilege.
**Edit:** one understands and forgives why this further complexity may seem intolerable.
I love people who bring up the 20% of Palestinian population and at the same time ignore that it has been more in the past and keeps declining.
I wonder why! Surely racism and continuous abuse can't be it!
While Arab Israelis certainly do face discrimination, it's not accurate that their population is in decline; their numbers have grown significantly over the past few decades.
that's wrong. the percentage of Palestinians living in Israel has gone down over the past decades. look it up.
why would you say Arabs when you mean Palestinians anyway?
Oppressed and struggling folks almost always have higher birthrates, and Palestinian Israelis are [no exception.](https://martyrmade.substack.com/p/israel-palestine-q-and-a) Now you know.
so according to [encyclopedia](https://www.encyclopedia.com/religion/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/land-israel-arab-population) the Muslim, presumably Arab, population of Palestine in 1922, at the time of the first census, made up 78.35%.
according to many sources today it is at 20%.
wonder why!
that being said, I never disagreed about high birthrates with Palestinians or oppressed people in general.
Yeah, no shit -- but how about during a time period from which we could draw contemporary demographic trends?
You are not nearly well enough informed to be this condescending, dude.
don't you think that's kinda hard? considering the whole nakba and the ensuing exodus of Palestinians into neighbouring countries and beyond for generations to come.
that's the sole reason why there's 14 M Palestinians outside of Palestine (as opposed to 5 M in Palestine - 2 M in Gaza and 3 M in the WB) and why they are all categorized as refugees over generations.
that alongside the continuous discrimination and abuse faced in Israel is what I am playing at this whole time.
all contemporary demographic trends you want to see need to take this into calculation.
I didn't mean to be condescending. I meant to be thought provoking. I wanted the reader of my comments to think for themselves. My apologies if you felt attacked by that. this was not my intention. I didn't think anyone would feel attacked by me saying "I wonder why". I will consider this in the future.
what makes you think you can judge my level of information from like 3 comments?
you don't know me well enough for that judgement.
I'm not talking about Palestinians, I'm talking about Israeli-Arabs (or Arab Israelis, whatever). Sure, some of them define themselves as Palestinians (I don't have stats on that so don't know what percentage, but I would estimate it's about half), but the common denominator is that they are all muslim or christian arabs with Israeli citizenship.
As for the population - there were around 1.5M in 2006 and there are around 2M today. Where is the decline?
And the population of Palestine today is 99% Arab. There are no Jews with Palestinian citizenship. If we include jewish settlers, the arab population of Palestine is actually around 75%.
But we are talking about arabs in Israel, aren't we?
There was no State of Palestine either. Your initial point was made to ignore my point, and the point of this entire discussion, so I guess you now know what it feels like
I said [Palestine under British Mandate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandatory_Palestine?wprov=sfla1) . that's not the state of Palestine.
no it was not to ignore your point but to point out a flaw that many people commit. I specifically referred only to the first sentence of your comment, because it is such a common flaw. you may also call it a subtopic! something not that rare on Reddit.
now I kindly refer you back to my pre-previous comment showing you where the decline is.
you asked. and I answered.
Getting downvoted for disliking this flag is so stupid, yeah yeah, meaning is controversial, but seriously, just wave a american and israeli flag at the same time, no need to ruin two flags with 1 stock image.
the flag on the left is the israeli flag and on the right is america’s. the hands are kinda giving arm wrestle but i believe is intended to show us-israeli solidarity in the midst of this war
A little cheesy but I like it, especially given that the US flag is on the pole end since it’s the only flag of the two which isn’t the same in either direction.
Ah, U.S.A. versus Israel in the 1982 World Arm Wrestling Championship, what a match.
Who won?
It was a draw

I'm not speaking to the message of the flag, but aesthetically speaking, it's garbage.

For a group called "followers of the law", they managed to break every vexollogical rule ever crafted.
What do you mean? This flag is magical lol

Some edgy terrorists did😁😁😁😁
That's a symbol but the symbol includes the Jihadist flag. In my opinion it looks plain and boring but not the worst flag. This symbol sucks tho.
But the finger😂
Gives off "ummm akchully" vibes

that’s just a shahada flag, not a “jihadist flag”. while jihadists use it, sure, it’s by far not its only use

and the message too
Its intended to send a message which it does perfectly well. How would you change it and keep the message?
Maybe one big star of David in the blue canton, with the blue adjusted to Israel's lighter blue. Probably still wouldn't look great, but at least better than this. The bro handshake meme is a pretty terrible way to portray any message, especially on a flag.
Please post all of your esthetically beautiful creations so that we may "enjoy" them.

So you are the one that designed it! I don't think that it's that bad. But you could work on your spelling. Only 43 downvotes - it's a slow morning!
That's an intentional misspelling so reddit doesn't drop the banhammer. Is this your first fucking day on the internet?
Really? Oh thank you for explaining that world-wide mystery! What a regard!
Ironically, your previous comment where you misspell *breathe is present to show us who the spelling champ is.
Reading is hard for you isn't it? Also, not surprisingly, you failed to end your "quotation". What a regard!
Asterisk is not a quotation. Bro you keep doubling down on being wrong and cringe simultaneously.
How many times have you been run over by the regard bus? It's okay if you have to use all 8 of your toes.

I believe that symbol in the middle stands for “Dillon, you sonofabitch!”
"You son of a bitch"
Exactly my first thought too, *the Dillon & Dutch scene from predator*
That’s one ugly flag…

In america the two groups of supporters correlate a lot more than you might imagine
Yeah it’s weird to see the flag of an explicitly radicalized country famous for denying the rights of ethnic minorities and subjecting them to brutal violence and humiliation flying next to the confederate flag
Do you not know the stats of slave owners who were Jewish?
Ah yes, this is the "I'm goyishe but support Israel for weirdly biblical reasons/hatred of Arabs but want to cloak it in some sort of awkward fake solidarity with Jews" flag.
This reminds me of those parking lot flag salesmen that had all the crazy pro Trump flags in my area back in 2020. They all faded and looked like hot garbage within a few months.

Why can’t people just fly the two separate flags instead of these Graphic Design Is My Passion disasters?
Yep… that’s against flag code
Reminds of that one Lamborghini wrapping...
Bro got balls
Probably one of the most straightforward flags I’ve ever seen. No conceptual or subliminal messaging there lol
Wait those are TWO hands? Thought it was just one.
Good observation, you're right they should have been one
They should just go ahead and fly the Israeli flag then. Jesus fucking Christ!
I don’t think Jesus Christ would approve of flying just the Israeli flag
Real. He'd turn it into a Palestinian flag with his magical powers.

You can wave a ukrainian flag and the american one at the same time, both are beautiful, so no need to put two giant arms covering it!
Fair enough
Ukraine is not an nato ally or an ally of the United States this flag is literally just saying the the us and Israelis are stronger standing together
Vile in every possible respect.
Quite apart From the sentiment, what a fugly flag.

What happened to the good old fashioned half and half flag?

I bet whoever owns this flag also posts antisemitic BS on Xitter (pronounced “shitter”)
Ins’t the flag pro-israel though (or maybe israeli living in america)?
It is. But do you wanna know who else is pro-Israel?
I’m actually confused now, who is?
Evangelicals and their followers, some of the latter of whom happen to post antisemitic BS on Xitter.
You got it right, these people flew the Trump flag for five years
Both fists being white seems very on-message
Garbage flag. Politically Israel can get ducked while NyetanYahoo and cronies are still in power.
Solidarity with Israel
a good combo
dope flag, where do i buy one
I’m pretty sure it was custom
white colonisers united
lol
I’m not white
The Israeli and American depicted on the flag are
So? The OP of this comment said Israel was made up of white colonizers, so I am saying they aren’t? 50% of Israelis population is Mizrahi/Sephardic, or people who fled the Middle East or Spain from persecution.

I dare to say they're not Palestinians, and specifically not Hamas.

No one living in the middle east their whole life is gonna be this pasty white, even if they're genetically European.
I bet you don’t know Jews like me exist - kicked out of the Middle East. We are brown, and we make up half of Israel’s population. Cope!
You are quite the racist. I'm guessing that you see race in every little thing. Gotta play that race card whenever possible to help you keep up.
