I 100 percent applaud them for the Palestinian flags 👏🇵🇸 Maybe some of the other things they do aren’t great but certainly won’t be against them (or the green brigade) for this

Would you be ok with someone flying an Israeli flag?

Flag debate incoming.....

No because I don’t support genocide. I do however support shows of solidarity with oppressed peoples

Bunch of coked up wee neds giving our club a bad name, ban the lot of them, only looking for trouble and if they want to sing their Tic minded horrible songs, then they're supporting the wrong club.

I wonder why these world affairs intellectuals have chosen this particular conflict to attach themselves to. I don’t recall being given the chance to applaud them for waving Ukrainian flags for example.

This threads about their poor choice of song lyrics, missile throwing and loutish behaviour in general. If they want to display those flags then football is not the place. Away down to Downing st and fly the flags and protest there.

Do you think they'd have Palestine flags if the green brigade didn't have them?

Does it matter? It’s one of the biggest world issues currently so good on them

Green Brigade wannabes. An absolute embarrassment and a shower of wee fannies, all that needs to be said really. They’ll be self policed out by the decent regulars sooner rather than later IMO

The club need to deal with it before fellow supporters starting dealing with it themselves.

Regular supporters shouldn't be left in this predicament though, and I've witnessed a few occasions this season where it's very nearly kicked off because of their behaviour.

****ing cringeworthy antics, dress and songs, and would run a ****ing mile if they ever actually encountered a true ultra faction.

There should be no political flags at any football ground, you want to protest fair enough but there are hundreds of rallies weekly doing just that.

Well why bring up the flags if it’s just about those things, which by the way I don’t agree with. Surely they should be free to display those flags in a public place such as the football. Politics is part of football and all aspects of life whether you like it or not

Perhaps, but Hibs themselves were flying Ukraine flags, and even had the women play a game in Yellow and Blue FFS.

A distinct lack of Palestine content from them though.

Shows that the club only want to attach themselves to certain agendas and not others.

Why?

I don't think politics and sport should mix, by all means protest but not at a football ground.

"Acceptability" comes down to personal political opinion.

Yes it does matter. They've got no idea what they're doing with it. They're copying Celtic fans (which is the second cringiest thing in the world next to their dress code).

They weren't running round with Ukranian flags a year or 2 ago.

I agree it's a big issue, but neds at football games "supporting" Palestine? Come off it.

[Mike Berry]

Agree with most of this, but not sure what's wrong with displaying a Palestinian flag?

What does bringing a Palestine fly to a Hibs Ross County game achieve? It’s cringy as **** and they only do it cause they’re copying their idols at the Green Brigade

Half the wee fuds probably have zero idea about the conflict and would toil to point out Gaza on a map they’re that braindeed.

Away up the town and join a pro Palestine march if you want to publicly fly their flag.

Patronising rubbish. Should “neds” not be allowed to have political views? Anyway who cares if they align themselves politically with another group.

We had a direct connection with Ukraine through Dnipro Kids in fairness.

What agenda would that imply we were attaching ourselves to?

By that token, anyone with pro-Israeli views should be allowed to show their support.

They do it because Celtic do it. They're not aligning themselves with any political group - unless you describe the green brigade as political?

We care because we don't want a Hibs version of the Green Brigade at ER.

Well it’s got all us talking about it hasn’t it? Protest doesn’t have to be confined to organised rallies it’s part of a wider movement. Anyway just glad to see at least some solidarity from Hibs fans whether it’s “cringey” or not.

They can show their support for genocide if they want but they will rightly be met with opposition.

So would you be equally as fine if I’m someone bright an Israel flag to the game?

As admirable as the Dnipro kids charity is, I'd hardly say it was a direct connection to a conflict between two countries at war, or one which should dictate that we take the side of one country over another.

If people want to say that the Israel/Palestine conflict is multifaceted, then the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is equally so.

The narrative pushed by our mainstream media on the subject isn't as clearcut as they'd have you believe.

What if it’s brought out in support of our ex Israeli goalkeeper Ofir Marciano? He’s got more to do with Hibs than Palestine.

(You may think this sounds ridiculous and indeed it does, but it’s as relative to Hibs as a Palestine flag in Dingwall)

Probably the wrong forum, but do they know where Palestine is, and the history of the conflict?

I have no difficulty sympathising with the plight of the residents of Gaza, all of them but I keep the thought in my head when I go to the football and wear my Hibs scarf.

The club are skating on thin ice with it's recent commendable statement, hopefully it translates to action but if we're on the moral high ground we really need to put our own house in order, especially at away games, where as others have said we do seem to put a big target on our own backs by not identifying and banning bellends who think it's okay to throw stuff on the pitch, damage property and set off smoke bombs.
