Miscellaneous Flags (Index)

## U.S.-Israel Friendship Flag

image located by William Garrison

One of the better examples of a combined friendship flag. Here Israeli protesters are showing a US-Israel flag outside the US consulate in Tel Aviv. The intention of the protesters was quite probably not just to commemorate the US-Israeli friendship, but to remind both their governments of the democratic principles that Israel shares with the United States and which the protesters see as endangered (contrary to the government, who seeks to end Israel's "juristocracy").

President Sadat Peace-Visit flag (10x16 cm), Egyptian flag cloth with "Jerusalem" and "19.11.1977" on the center white stripe, noting the 19–21 Nov. 1977 visit of Egyptian President Sadat to Jerusalem, Israel (picture, reverse). (source: ebay.com)

This 10:16 (=5:8) ratio differs slightly from the official 2:3. The details of the eagle are also slightly different, lacking the text under the scroll and this keeping the bird's head slightly more distant from the red stripe edge; the shield bears also three [five-pointed stars] aligned vertically, which are absent from the official version.
The bird is shown on this photo looking at the viewer's left hand, while both writings read correctly.
António Martins, 13 March 2024

I am sure the flag was produced in Israel. It was made to commemorate Egypt's President Sadat visit to Jerusalem, Israel. As Arabs usually refer to Jerusalem as "Al-Quds" ("The Holy"), had this flag been made in Egypt I think an Egyptian manufacturer would have used the word: "Al-Quds" – which was not used.
This hand-held flag has been offered for sale on eBay at least twice by different sellers – both selling from Jerusalem. While it has the design of the Egyptian flag, it appears that it was made to be use by Israelis for waving during Pres. Sadat's visit.
As most Egyptians were against a peace treaty with Israel, I doubt that this flag was waved by anyone in Cairo.

  image located by William Garrison

  To commemorate Israel's retention of the Golan Heights (between the Syrian and Israeli borders) during the Oct. 1973 Yom Kippur War, a metal statute depicting two Israeli soldiers holding the Israeli national flag was dedicated in early Sept. 2023 atop the domineering dormant Tel Saki volcanic hill on the Golan Heights.

  Israeli national flag connected to the Yeshiva "Hakotel" (Jewish religious school). Inscription above: "Love of Israel in the soul" (אהבת ישראל בנשמה); below: "Quarter midrash" (מדרשת הרוע). The Midrash is an ancient commentary on the Hebrew Biblical scriptures. (picture, source)

  I suppose "Quarter midrash" refers to a city distict, one comprising a large synagogue and auxiliary facilities – could be that?

  ## Gilad Shalit Solidarity Flags

  image by William Garrison

  Gilad Shalit solidarity flag (in William Garrison's possession). Flag-pole sleeve on the left side.
  The Hebrew inscriptions: Above on the right: "Gilad Shalit". Below: "And bring the boys/sons back to their borders", or: "And the boys/sons returned to their borders" (?)
  Gilad Shalit (גלעד שליט, born 28 August 1986) is a former POW (prisoner of war) soldier of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) who on 25 June 2006, was captured by Palestinian militants in a cross-border raid via a tunnel beneath the Gaza-Israeli border. Hamas held him captive for over five years, until his release on 18 October 2011 as part of a prisoner-exchange deal [As part of this deal Israel released 1027 terrorists from prison. One of them was Yahya Sinwar]. This flag/banner was displayed to remind Israelis not to forget the long-imprisoned soldier. Apparently, something promoted by the "habanim.org" c. 2010 (habanim = the boys/sons).

  ## Flag of Nova Music Festival

  image located by William Garrison

  The light-blue-field flag of the "Nova" music festivals that are promoted by the Tel Aviv based "Eventer Company", ca. Oct. 2023. In the middle of the flag is the Nova logo: with the word "Nova" surrounded by short white lines/rays figuratively symbolizing a star exploding in space. Also on the flag, surrounding the logo, there are at the left two crescent moons that are a "pale white/light blue" color, while the right two crescent moons are a "sunrise" red-orange color. A Nova is a sudden increase in brightness of a star before shrinking back down to normality. More powerful than a nova, a supernova is an explosion that heralds the demise of a star.
  Nova music festivals originally developed in Brazil about 1998 and the "Tribe of Nova" organization produces music festivals in various countries. I am uncertain as to the legal status of the "Nova" trademark; there seems to be a number of "Nova" music-festival copycats. There have been previous "Nova Rock" music festivals. There was a "Nova Fest" held in Fairfax, Virginia (USA) that was titled: "The Northern Virginian 10th Annual International Film and Music Festival" in April 2023.
  The Israel Nova music festival 7 Oct 2023 attack: A Nova open-air music festival was held 6–7 October 2023 near the kibbutz Re'im, which is located in the desert about midway near the eastern Gaza-Israel border. Festival goers were allowed to enter the open-field fairgrounds a couple of hours before midnight for partying before listening to bands the following day, Saturday the 7th. The event's ticket promoter was the Tel Aviv based Eventer Company. It advertised the event as: "Tribe of Nova Presents: Supernova Sukkot ... 6–7 Oct 2023 ... Universo Paralello ... World Tour: Israel Edition ... Nova." It was scheduled to coincide with Jewish holidays: the final day of Sukkot (Friday, 6 October 2023) and Simchat Torah (Saturday, 7 October). Sukkot is one of the three major festivals in Judaism and is both an agricultural festival of thanksgiving and commemoration of the forty-year period during which the children of Israel wandered in the Sinai desert after leaving slavery in Egypt (ca. 1446 BCE), living in temporary shelters (called sukkot) as they traveled. The outdoor, open-field music festival was attacked by Hamas-Palestinian militants [and civilians] shortly after sunrise on Saturday the 7th. Out of some 3000 concert goers, 364 festival attendees were killed and another 45 were kidnapped and forcibly moved into captivity back inside the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip. At the same time other Hamas militants [and civilians] also attacked and killed or captured another 800+ Israeli settlers and soldiers, foreign visitors and guest workers along the shared border.
  The Israel Oct. 2023 festival was "one of three unique pre-festival events taking place worldwide, as Nova approached the 17th edition of the Universo Paralello festival to be held during the celebrations of the new civil year [1 Jan 2024] in Praia de Pratigi, located on the southern coast of Bahia, Brazil, within the mystical rainforest."
  As at most concerts, there was likely a souvenir stand selling Nova flags, t-shirts, etc. The Nova festival flag (see above). In the sunrise hours of Oct. 7, 2023, a female raver was filmed swaying with the Nova flag (photo #2a & #2b). An undated (early Dec. 2023?) photo (#3) shows several Israeli soldiers holding a Nova flag found somewhere along Gaza's northwestern Mediterranean coast, possibly looted by Hamas militants rummaging through the Nova music festival. A Nova flag (#4) is seen at an Eventer Company music-memorial planning meeting (late Oct. 2023?) for the 11–12 Nov 2023 memorial music concert held in Sdot Yam near Caesarea, Israel.

  ## Pink Heart Israel Flag (Abused Israeli women)

  image by António Martins

  In the wake of the current Israel-Hamas war, a picture is seen featuring the Israeli flag and instead of the Star of David, it features a heart, all in pink. In this context, it refers to abused Israeli women in Hamas' captivity (picture, source).

  The specs of the general design don't seem to match those of the regular Israeli flag, at least not in this depiction, where the central white area is as big as 2/3 of the whole, instead of only half. The style of the heart seems to be the one with straight slanted sides, not any of the curved ones (convex or concave).
  I expect that variations of these details are bound to be found among hand-made individual flags of this design, even if a standardized type is prescribed and/or mass-produced.
