Palestinian flag on display at Providence City Hall, Council Chambers

The following is a statement issued on Thursday, May 15, by the Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island

On Wednesday, May 14, the Palestinian flag was put on display in the Providence City Council Chambers. Additionally, the flag is scheduled to be displayed in front of City Hall for a short period on Friday. In Providence, the executive branch and the City Council are separate entities. The decision to raise the Palestinian flag on Friday was made by the Providence City Council, not by Mayor Brett Smiley’s office, though the Mayor did not block the request. The Jewish Alliance opposes the display of the flag as a political symbol used to divide our city.
