Fury of local residents as Palestinian flag flies over Lancashire town hall in Jubilee week – The motion to fly the Palestinian flag was moved last week by Labour group leader Mohammed Iqbal | The Jewish Chronicle

The Palestinian flag has been flying above the town hall in Nelson, Lancashire this week – prompting fury from local residents expecting instead to see the Union Flag marking the Queen’s Jubilee.
The flag was put up last Friday after a motion was put forward by a Labour councillor citing the “assassination by Israeli government forces” of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in Jenin last month.
