No idea about the other side [of the flag]. The video scene suggests that this was created to be held in procession during demonstrations and otherwise hanging from walls, with grommets all around. It is at least, however, a flag-based design. Ratio ~1:2 (in sharp constrast with the official ratio of the Belgian national flag, less oblong than most at 13:15).
Also contrasting with the usual/official national flag of Belgium, the shade of yellow is amber, not bright/medium yellow, like on the flag of Germany. That can be determined by the evident contrast between the white letters and their background on the middle stripe. The inscription is set on the flag as two rows of two words each, in bold serifless capitals, with a black dropshow at the lower fly side.

## Israel Flag "Together we win!"

Israeli national flag with inscription on the bottom strip: "Together we (will) win!" (beyakhad nenatseakh), seen at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, Sweden.
It cannot be seen whether the top strip is also written on.
"Together we win!" is also the title and refrain of a popular song in Israel. After the attacks of October 7, 2023, and especially during the following war in Gaza, this motto has become very popular in the country;
it became a confession and call for unity, determination and strength. For the lyrics of the song and performance by Israeli singer Sarit Hadad see here.

## Solidarity Flag "Time running out"

image located by William Garrison
(source)

Flag or banner, mimicking the Israeli national flag, with a sand glass instead of the Star of David (picture). The sand glass consists of the two equilateral blue triangles, which normally form the Star of David, showing the yellow sand flowing from the upper triangle into the lower one. This should symbolize the time running out for the victims held by Hamas. The flag/banner was shown at a meeting between family members of hostages and politicians in the Knesset on 20 May 2024 (source).

Solidarity banner for the abducted hostages still in Hamas captivity (Hostages Square, near the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, picture). The banner shows an Israeli national flag in large format, covered with 192 portrait photos of hostages.
There are Hebrew inscriptions on the blue stripes and in the center of the Star of David. Inscription on the upper stripe: "Our hearts are with the abductees". Inscription on the Star of David: "Brothers forever" (akhim lenatseakh).
Inscription on the lower stripe: "Beit Jen sympathizes with the families of the abductees".

## Solidarity Flag with Yellow Ribbon

image located by William Garrison
(source)

The national flag of Israel with a remembrance "Yellow Ribbon" intertwined with the centered Star of David; c. early May 2024, as seen in NYC and Israel (picture). The Yellow Ribbon symbol became widely known in civilian life in the 1970s. It was the central theme of the popular song: "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree" (written by Irwin Levine and L. Russell Brown), as the sign a released prisoner requested from his wife or lover to indicate that she would welcome him home. Following the U.S.–Iraq Gulf War of 1990–91, many U.S. families tied a yellow ribbon around their front-yard trees as a "Welcome Home" sign for their returning military personnel. This Israel version symbolizes the desire that Israelis, captured during the Oct. 7, 2023 invasion by Hamas into southwestern Israel, be returned to Israel soon, and that, meanwhile, they will not be forgotten.

## Ben Shimoni Remembrance Flag at "The Car Wall" Memorial

image located by Martin Karner/Zachary Harden
(source)

This flag looks like a memorial flag to one of the dead who owned this vehicle. I was able to use the Hebrew term for this memorial (קיר המכוניות, kir ha'mekhoniot = the car wall) and was able to find a clearer picture of the flag here and here (picture). Also on the car itself, there are stickers and notes with the same face as the flag. This page on X (picture) also shows the flag. After I scanned the QR code in the second photo, I was able to see that the man on the flag is Ben Binyamin Shimoni. Information about his car is at https://dialogue-landing.co.il/?page_id=6828 [in Hebrew and English – scroll down for his heroic act of rescue] and how it was tied to the events of October 7th. There are other links, including a memorial Instagram page. This Instagram page (picture) confirms that it's the flag that belongs to his car.

## (Humoristic?) Military Flag "Marketing Team"

(picture, source)

This black-white flag is designed like a military unit flag, but perhaps is a humoristic fantasy flag. The horizontal inscription says "Marketing Team" (tsevet shivuk).

## Solidarity Flag "Look them in the eyes"

image located by Martin Karner
(picture, source)

Solidarity flag for abducted hostages in a commentary article of jewishnews.co.uk from 3 September 2024. The flag is shown on a photo taken on Parliament Square, London. It shows 116 portrait photos of hostages on a black background. The photos are arranged around a free rectangle in the center, which contains the Hebrew writings "Look them in the eyes" (upper line, in white), and "We are committed to bring them home!" (lower line, in red). Below, in the third line, there is the English hashtag "#BringThemHomeNow" (in white, "Now" in red). On the bottom black border of the flag there is a small Hebrew inscription which is not discernable entirely (it contains the words "abducted" and "missing").

### Variant with Hebrew inscription only

Shahar Strug, posthumously promoted from Sergeant to Staff Sergeant, was killed accidentally after the shooter – who can only be identified by his rank – sergeant – and the first letter of his Hebrew name, Nun – discharged his weapon during a game of "draw" in the unit's barracks ahead of a training session on March 20, 2018. [The Central Command's internal investigative commission found that the unit has a history of gun safety violations.]

https://www.facebook.com/...
The commemorative flag is an Israel background flag featuring the Star of David towards the hoist, with the inscription in black capitals "STAY STRONG" (top) and "STAY STRUG" (bottom), with an additional inscription in Hebrew on the bottom blue stripe in white reading "לאורו של סמ"ר שחר סטרוג" (In the light of Sergeant Shahar Strug) and below that "Died on 20.03.2018, 20 years old, in Nofel" (in Hebrew), with the lower corner reading "מצפן ישראלי שע לאורם פר וומנייתיות" (English: (an) Israeli compass that shines for women), followed by an image of a compass.
Additional commemorative flags may, instead of the English text, have Hebrew inspirational quotes. For instance, the variant features "טעם החיים" (the taste of life).

## Solidarity Flag "Bring Them Home" (United States)

image located by William Garrison
(picture, source)

Solidarity flag for the the Israeli hostages abducted on 7 October 2023 (with the number of hostages still being held captive on 28 May 2024, when the flag was presented).
A stylized Israeli flag featuring the names of the people [still held captive since] the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led raid from Gaza into southwestern Israel. In the center of the Magen David star are the English words: "BRING THEM HOME". This flag was produced by the Christian group "InGrace", and was given by Pastor Jim Scudder Jr. on 28 May 2024 to Pres. Herzog, who had this to say about the flag: "A meaningful and beautiful show of solidarity for our hostages! A flag of Israel made up of the names of those brutally taken captive by Hamas on October 7th. A moving token of support from Christian friends of Israel from all over the world."

## Solidarity Flag for 48 Hostages

image located by William Garrison
(picture, source [drone video])

The flag shows an Israeli national flag covered with portrait photos of 48 hostages being held by Hamas. News article info (17 Aug 2025): "At the symbolic Hostage Square in Tel Aviv, a massive Israeli flag displaying images of the captives was unfurled at the start of the day and remained the focal point for demonstrations. The strike was coordinated jointly by the 'Hostages and Missing Persons Families Forum' – which includes families of those still in Gaza, released hostages and missing persons – and the 'October Council', representing families of those killed in the Oct. 7 attacks. The groups, usually separate, united in a rare show of solidarity. Numerous large organizations and companies joined the call for the hostages' release, participating in protests and allowing employees to strike despite the Histadrut labor federation deciding not to halt the economy. Early last week, the high-tech sector – including giants like Meta and Wix – was the first to announce support, allowing employees to protest without losing work rights. Other companies, including Microsoft, Fiverr, Papaya Global, Disruptive, Tnuva and Haifa Port workers, followed."

## Jewish Flag as Sign of Resistance (Germany)

image located by Martin Karner
(source)

Vertical Jewish flag, split of a white and blue stripe, with a white Star of David on the blue field (115x90.5 cm). Presumably, the horizontal version of the flag would have the blue stripe at the top (and the star accordingly oriented).
This flag was hung by the 29-year-old Berlin textile trader Martin Friedländer on 1 October 1935, the Jewish New Year Rosh Hashanah, from the window of his apartment at Linienstrasse 196 – thus setting a confident example against the racist legislation of the Nuremberg Laws.
With the enactment of the Nuremberg Laws on September 15, 1935, Jews in Germany were relegated to second-class citizenship. Among other things, they were forbidden from flying the Reich flag, but "displaying the Jewish colours" was expressly permitted. In protest, Martin Friedländer had this blue and white flag, the traditional colours of Zionism, with a Star of David made. A photographer from the Nazi propaganda paper "Der Angriff" (the attack) took a picture of the house. The accompanying article stated gloatingly: "On today's Jewish holiday, the Jewish national flag was displayed for the first time on a house in northern Berlin. The colours are blue and white with the six-pointed star. This finally puts an end to the guesswork about what the Jewish flag actually looks like." In June 1939, Martin Friedländer emigrated to Australia, taking his flag with him. In his new home, he changed his surname to Fried-Lander. He married an Australian woman and ran an import company with her until 1966. In 1980, Martin Fried-Lander donated the flag to the Jewish Department of the Berlin Museum, the predecessor of today's Jewish Museum Berlin (the present location of the flag). (source)

## Ran Gvili Remembrance Flag

Memorial remembrance flag for Master Sgt. Ran Gvili (24), the remaining Israeli hostage body in Gaza. It was presented during a gathering held by members of Kibbutz Alumim in honor of Gvili, who was killed on October 7, 2023 in defense of the kibbutz. His murderers, the Hamas [or Islamic Jihad] terrorists from Gaza, abducted his body to Gaza. The gathering took place near Hostage Square in Tel Aviv, Israel, on January 9, 2026 (Photo: Avshalom Sassoni/Flash90). On the flag's left side there is a facial drawing of Ran Gvili. The Hebrew on the top blue stripe reads "Rani Gvili"; on the bottom stripe "(We are) waiting for you at home!"
Gvili, a member of the Yasam police counter-terror unit, was on medical leave at the time, awaiting surgery on his broken shoulder following a motorcycle accident. Nevertheless, when he heard of the attack, he put on his uniform and headed toward the front line. (source, source)
[Ran Gvili's return on 26 January 2026 marked the first time since 2014 that no Israeli hostages, dead or alive, were being held inside Gaza. No hostages were rescued or reported by Palestinians.]
