If my relatives were being slaughtered by Israel, then waiving their flag in my face would be just as hurtful and hateful as someone waiving a Swastika in my face if I was Jewish.
You can't pick and choose what hate speech is. An Israeli flag is just as disrespectful to a Palestinian who just had their whole family, relatives blown to pieces in a U.N shelter as it is to a Jewish man who sees a man with a swastika on an Israeli flag.
Freedom of speech is freedom of speech and it should be protected.
