The Israeli Embassy in Berlin has condemned the display of a Palestinian flag in front of the Reichstag building in the city, calling it "a symbol of hate towards us." In a statement, the embassy asserted that the Palestinian flag is not a symbol for something positive, but rather "a symbol against something." It further claimed that globally, the flag is often raised not in support of Palestinians, but as an emblem of animosity towards Israel. The embassy cited an example in France where the flag was allegedly used during violent riots against the Republic. According to the embassy, anyone in Berlin who raises the Palestinian flag while lowering the German flag unequivocally demonstrates opposition to the values represented by Germany's national colors: freedom, democracy, and the rule of law.
