Palestine flags held up in Melbourne CBD sparks outrage
Crowds have gathered in Melbourne’s city to mourn Palestinians killed in the Middle East conflict but many people in the community are criticising the decision to hoist up Palestine's flag.
Nine Palestinian flags were held up at Federation Square on Friday night which enraged Melbourne’s Jewish community and other Pro Israel groups.
The Australian Jewish Association went so far as to compare it to flying the flag of the Taliban after 9/11.
The Pro Palestine organisers hit back, saying the flags were booked 12 months in advance and were originally meant to commemorate Palestine’s national day.
500 people gathered for the vigil to mourn the thousands of lives lost in Gaza.
