They actually said yes to the flag flying so I am just sitting here staring at my screen in total shock and honestly it feels like the hard work finally clicked into place. I keep thinking about all those mornings I spent worrying if anyone would even look at this …

We are calling on all MSP's and the Scottish Government to get the Palestinian flag flying over the Scottish Parliament at Holyrood and all government buildings in Scotland as a show of solidarity with the Palestinian people and as a rememberance of the more than 1800 Palestinian men, women and children who have been killed in Israel's latest brutal war on Gaza. The mass majority of people in Scotland support freedom and justice for Palestine and we want the Scottish Parliament and all government buildings to reflect this by flying the Palestinian flag as a first step in building broader and deeper support for Palestine all across Scotland. Please sign and share.

Whatever side you take on the politics it is clear that innocent kids are dying. Just fly the flag as a sign of respect for the victims.

Absolutely heartbreaking what is happening over there. The government needs to do something more than just talk.

Long overdue. The people of Gaza deserve better than this and Scotland should be loud about it.
