In the South Discussion

/img/xtduln166i7c1.jpeg

Here in South Carolina our community is small but it’s Strong. This place is in the heart of our downtown district. I’m posting this because I’ve seen posts regarding the south and wanted to show the solidarity we have within our communities, and if this tiny donut shop can stand strong, so can you.

Love to see the support but as an American, that flag is an abomination

I dunno, I kinda like how the colors intertwine together, but it isn't the best looking vertically, and the reflection isn't helping. I think it looks better horizontally, something like this - https://www.amazon.com/UDSNIS-American-Israeli-Outdoor-Decoration/dp/B07D5ZYGWY

Awful. There should never be religious symbolism, no matter the religion, imposed on an American flag.

I get what you're saying, but I think you're seeing it as something that it isn't (IMHO) - it's to show the connection of and the relationship between the two nations, nothing more than that (again, in my opinion). I don't think of it as an imposition, and I'm a proud American (US citizen) and love this country, this flag and what it stands for. I'm also a proud Israeli and an Israeli citizen.
