In Germany, a man was arrested for raising a Palestinian flag, sparking international and domestic backlash. This incident has highlighted perceived inconsistencies in Germany's approach to freedom of expression, as activists and social media users have pointed out that other controversial flags, such as those of ISIS, have been displayed without similar repercussions. The situation has drawn criticism from various quarters, including activists in Pakistan who have accused the German ambassador of hypocrisy for addressing a human rights forum while Germany allegedly suppresses criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza.
