Only a little offense but why use a foreign flag at a protest. Do you just want photos of burning cars carrying your flag in order for the fascist to fascist faster?
Support for Palestine at a time when Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians and launched an unprovoked war on Iran is a good thing. Fascism will find excuses to target you anyways, the answer isn't to play ball, but to seek safety in numbers and organizing. Rallying around correct messaging is the point of protest, not just saying "we are mildly upset but don't want to actually do anythint!"
Rallying behind a foreign flag as cars burn is nothing but photo ops for the opposing side. Speak all you want of rallying together, but i think a decent job was done doing that without creating pointless controversy.
When things are peaceful, the cops riot anyway.
