Given that our first minister’s parents are still in the area and unaccounted for, it might be a bit awkward for us to fly the flag of the country that may have already killed them in an airstrike.
Why would Scottish Parliament fly any flag other than their own?
And here’s an article on the same topic that actually states the reason, that the Torygraph seems to have left out for some reason.
Quotes from UN and EU leaders in the text that are missing from the Torygraph article for some reason…
Next Scottish devolved election they’re all out anyways
Hamas killing babies and unarmed civilians by the hundreds should be enough for anyone to decide which side they are on, no matter how hard Israel has failed to attain peace in this region.
This is despicable journalism and a rage bait headline.
It’s like saying “Parliament body featuring Jeremy Corbyn votes to give tax breaks to millionaires” or “Parliamentary House featuring the Labour party votes Sunak leader”.
She has no power over the decision, she’s a nobody with 20% of the voting power.
What people often forget is that news nowadays have more obligation in providing high enough Click Through Rate, for optimal profit of shareholders. Truth and cohesion of society are merely a second thought.
>…involving MSP who defended Hamas attacks
The Telegraph laying the propaganda extra thick so that people won’t miss it.
>Holyrood’s authorities have also rejected lighting the building in the blue and white colours of Israel, copying similar messages of solidarity on landmarks including the Palace of Westminster and 10 Downing Street.
>They said that the parliament did not have the facilities required and i**ts unusual architectural shape** makes it difficult to illuminate.
HAH! And I honestly believe them too, the Parliament building looks like a 5 year old’s doodle got 3D printed. It’s probably one of the jankiest looking buildings in the entire country.
Don’t tell me she’d be happy with having the Palestinian flag up tho.
Wtf is happening with Celts
The Telegraph should really be binned under /r/europe’s rules as a reliable source. It’s dog shit rage bait journalism.
Humza Yousaf has been incredibly clear in his condemnation of Hamas, where he described their attack as a “barbaric act of terror”, Scotland is absolutely not “Supporting Hamas”.
[The Scottish Gov’s official position can not be made any clearer than the letter he wrote to James Cleverly, condemning Hamas, noting his support for Israel’s right to defend itself, however asking that civilians be given the opportunity to escape over the Rafah border, and a humanitarian corridor be opened to allow for essential supplies to reach the civilians trapped in the strip.](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Ff9jpehiyrdtb1.jpg)
This will be particularly personal to him because his wife is Palestinian, and his in-laws are currently in Gaza visiting their elderly parents and trapped because of the conflict.
I can see their reasoning that said the title is a symptom of how shite journalism has become
Turning something that condemned Hamas but also criticises Israels response to “defended Hamas attacks” is wild
The telegraph always manages to brew the most clickable rage baits from nothing
Why on earth would any democratic government light up its institutions in the colours of an occupying power currently in violation of several UN resolutions?
Might as well light up the building in Chinese flag colours in “solidarity” with China’s efforts to ethnically cleanse the Uighur Muslims…
I wouldn’t trust telegraph to tell the day of the week, this source is as reliable as a sphincter during diarrhea
