A controversial surprise on a United flight: An Israeli passenger boarding a United Airlines flight from New York to Athens with his family was taken aback when he noticed that the flight attendants at both the check-in counter and on the plane were wearing a pin featuring the Palestinian flag.

"My son said, 'Dad, look, that's the flag!' I looked and was shocked. A United Airlines ground attendant was wearing such a flag. We tried to take a picture, but she noticed, and we didn't want to make a scene. We finished the check-in and headed to the gate."

"During the flight, I asked a flight attendant for assistance. She was very nice, and suddenly I noticed she was wearing the flag. I couldn't believe it. She helped me, I thanked her, she said, 'You're welcome,' but how can things like this be allowed?"

United Airlines' response will be provided once received.

Euro 2024 regulations stipulate that flags of non-participating countries and political propaganda are prohibited in stadiums. However, it quickly became apparent that organizers are turning a blind eye and not strictly enforcing these rules.

Turkish supporters initially exploited this leniency by waving scarves featuring the Palestinian flag. Upon realizing there was no intervention, they began hanging Palestinian flags in the stands without hindrance.

Israel is not participating in Euro 2024, which may explain its lack of protest against these displays. Meanwhile, pro-Palestinian advocacy continues to operate and capture the hearts and minds of various national team supporters who have traveled to Germany.

In recent days, anti-Israel activists, seemingly of Turkish origin, have found a new way to promote their agenda. The trend began in Stuttgart, where, en route to matches, many fans received free white hats printed with watermelon designs from these activists.

"This is our way to increase solidarity with the Palestinian people," the activists said, explaining that the colors of the watermelon match those of the Palestinian flag.

Scottish, German, Ukrainian, French, and many other fans are accepting and proudly wearing these hats without questioning their significance. In doing so, they unknowingly become vehicles for pro-Palestinian propaganda that spreads across social media, disseminating an anti-Israel message.
