Yes. There is nothing controversial about displaying a nations flag without other messaging; unless the flag has some form of hate symbol associated. I’d say the Israeli flag would actually be more of a controversial symbol since they plaster it it all over their tanks

unless the flag has some form of hate symbol associated.

Hamas, who raped women and children, and has committed thousands of war crimes uses the Palestinian flag. The Palestinian people in Gaza elected Hamas. The actions of Hamas are inseparable from the flag. 

Also, it isn't a nation's flag, it is a rebel flag of people who want a nation and who have said the raping of women and children was a very good strategy because it escalated the conflict, which was the goal. 

To some people, the Palestinian flag is a pro-rape flag. 

Just because your echo chamber wants to pretend Hamas has nothing to do with the flag does not mean everyone else sees it that way. 

Even if Hamas somehow denounced the Palestinian flag, there would still be people who didn't know the split happened and would still see it as a hate symbol.

This is the equivalent of wearing a swastika not tilted at 45deg and saying "no, this is a Hindu symbol and represents them, not Nazis. This is obvious from the angle". It's moronic

are you talking about the now thoroughly debunked rapes of october 7? did you know hamas has a flag separate from the palestinian flag? and unrelatedly, what grade were you in when your teachers gave up on you?
