Appropriating the Palestinian cause does a disservice to interests of all sides

Palestinian flag flying atop our municipal buildings is about attaining the summit, in a hierarchy of victims, says Gerard Howlin.

WHETHER from solidarity or attention-seeking, a majority of councillors on Dublin City Council, Donegal, Sligo and Galway County Councils decided to fly the Palestinian flag over municipal buildings.

In Dublin it was for the month of May. If you are so-minded and live locally, today is your last opportunity to salute what is done in your name.
