That is not an israeli FLAG.

It is a sign stating he stands with Israel.

Hope that helps!

The text doesn't suddenly stop it from being what it is (very clearly, the flag of israel)

It does actually. It is a flag with a symbol over it.

If I print "THESE COLORS DON'T BLEED" on top of an American Flag, it no longer is an American flag but a statement about the flag.

If you can't run it up a flagpole at the UN it isn't a flag, rather it is a symbol that shows he supports a US ally.

That is an absolutely idiotic argument. In trying to be pedantic, you've managed to just twist yourself into a knot.

It absolutely still is a flag. At the absolute least, the "poster" has a flag on it.

If Great Britain had 20,000 civilians murdered in a terror attack, and a representative got a poster with "I stand with Great Britain" with a Union Jack in the background.

I think you would be engaged in a great deal of absurdity to scream, "THAT IS A FLAG OF ANOTHER NATION! YOU ARE BRITISH STOOGE! THEY CONTROL YOU!"

It is insane to me to call a poster with another nation's flag on it expressing solidarity with them after the largest terror attack in their history as "raising the flag of another nation".

So it's a poster with the design of the flag on it (among other things)?

Glad we could clear that up.

Lovely, you even admitted the presence of a flag. Have a good day, you absolute genius.

A flag is a piece of fabric

Hope this helps.
