Palestinian flag waved at Democratic National Convention

Palestinian flag waved at Democratic National Convention - US & Canada - News
"The Democratic National Convention (DNC), opened in Philadelphia yesterday (Monday) under a cloud of scandal, as recent leaks of emails between Democratic party officials showed a clear bias in favor of Hillary Clinton over Senator Bernie Sanders in the race for the party's nomination, together with a readiness to actively interfere in the primary process.
...One of the consequences of the leftward swing within the Democratic party has been a renewed questioning of its support for Israel. 
...Activists identifying themselves on twitter as being "Progressive for Palestine" raised a Palestinian flag in the middle of the convention floor, making it clearly visible to the overhead cameras, and held up signs reading: "I support Palestinian human rights."
