US City Now Flying Palestinian Flag Over American Flag New Jersey residents in Paterson are not happy about Mayor Jeffery Jones public participation in the citys recent Palestinian celebration at City Hall. Apparently, Palestinians gathered to raise their flag in what was the second ceremony commemorating their fight for statehood. During the event, Jones raised the flag as a symbol of ending peace talks with Israel last month. We can assure you we will not get tired until Palestine is a free, independent , and democratic state, Somaia Barghought, Palestines adviser, told the United Nations. The end of peace talks has also sparked energy among Palestinians who have been hoping for their own state. What do you think? Do residents have the right to be upset about Jones actions?
