- I am writing to request the immediate removal of the Israeli flag currently displayed in front of Boston City Hall. As an Arab and longtime resident of Boston, the presence of this flag is deeply troubling, as it may be seen as a reflection of the city's values or official stance. The Israeli government is currently committing genocide in Gaza. In May 2024, in response to overwhelming pressure from the citizens of Boston, the Boston City Council adopted a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Raising the Israeli flag does not meet the 2022 City ordinance, which only allows for flags that represent the City of Boston's values. | Type of posting: [Other] Exact location: [Flagpole] Sponsor details: [The City of Boston]
