Israelis on Wednesday were shocked to see a giant PLO flag hanging next to an Israeli flag on a high-rise building on the Ayalon Highway near the Israel Diamond Exchange District in Ramat Gan, under the caption: “We are meant to live together.” The flag was put up by the far-left Michzakim organization in protest of the coalition’s instruction to allow its members free choice in choosing how to vote on the law filed by Likud banning PLO flags at educational institutions. The law was filed in response to demonstrations held by Arab students, some waving PLO flags, at Israeli universities on “Nakba Day” last week. Outraged Israelis responded on social media with photos depicting terror attacks and lynchings, with the same caption: “We are meant to live together.” לאחר הפרסומת של דגל אש"ף עם דגל ישראל והטקסט "נועדנו לחיות יחד".רץ בקבוצות וואצפ. pic.twitter.com/0vxabwUC2O — איתמר כרמון | itamar carmon (@itamarcarmon) June 1, 2022 נועדנו לחיות יחד pic.twitter.com/xCMD4Hg13t — התמנון האיטר (@tamnuniter) June 1, 2022 נועדנו לחיות יחד pic.twitter.com/XFX7G2MIEY — התמנון האיטר (@tamnuniter) June 1, 2022 Others sarcastically commented that the Israeli flag next to the PLO flag should be hung in Arabs towns and villages. “We’ll see how long they’ll stay there until the entire building turns into dust,” one social media user wrote. “There will only be peace when the other side wants peace.” The Likud party wrote: “What we warned about during elections is happening today on Ayalon.” Opposition leader Binyamin Netanyahu demanded that the mayor of Ramat Gan “take immediate action to remove this disgrace today.” מה שהזהרנו בזמן הבחירות קורה היום באיילון. תחת ממשלת ההונאה והחולשה של בנט-לפיד-רע״מ והמשותפת ואחרי הסתה בלתי פוסקת של אבו מאזן בחודשים האחרונים, דגל אש״ף מונף היום בענק באיילון pic.twitter.com/gnszByYSRP — הליכוד (@Likud_Party) June 1, 2022 Ramat Gan Mayor Carmel Shama wrote on his Facebook page that the sign was hung by an advertising company and although it is legally permissible, he feels that it is hurtful to many residents and may provoke extremist acts. “According to professional security officials, there is a concern for public order and the safety of the building and surroundings and therefore until further assessment, the building is required to post a guard by the sign around the clock,” he stated. “If the sign remains there, it will not remain alone and the municipality will hang huge flags of the State of Israel around it as well as flags saluting the IDF, the Shin Bet, Israel Police, and Border Police.” A Chareidi reporter took advantage of the situation to poke fun at Finance Minister Avigdor Leiberman, as seen in the photo below: נועדנו לחיות יחד. pic.twitter.com/2l5UYJtQ6D — אריאל אלחרר (@ariel_elharar_) June 1, 2022 By early Wednesday afternoon, the public outrage made its mark and the organizers of the campaign made a decision to remove the PLO flag, as can be seen in the video below: (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)
