Swedish police documents include the Palestinian flag among known terror symbols, it was revealed after officers shared internal material with a central Swedish high school where youths had previously left to fight in Syria.

After several youths in central Sweden's Örebro travelled to Syria and Iraq to fight with terror group Isis, a local high school decided to increase awareness about international terror groups in an attempt to prevent it from happening again.

One local high school enlisted the help of the Örebro police, which shared its internal material about recognizing terror groups. Among the documents was a page with flags of known terror groups - one of which was the Palestinian flag.

Stay classy Sweden.

That's a bit ridiculous.

Does it matter?

I'd classify it as a terror symbol as well simply for the terrifyingly ugly and unoriginal design.

Political correctness will make them remove it from the list soon enough.

What would you say if they put the norwegian flag on it for the actions of Breivik?

No seriously, it's the flag of Jordan (which already was incredibly dull and uninspired) without a star. I honestly believe more people would rally behind Palestine if it had a more powerful flag. Just look at the Soviet Union. All 14-year old boys considers themselves communists just because the hammer and sickle looks slick and cool.

I'd say that our percentages are off by quite a few orders of magnitude if we're trying to make a comparison.

Oh I just cannot wait to read this on Al-jazeera later, the comments will be amazing.

I don't see the issue.

What a shock there...

Should the Afghani flag also be a terror symbol, or any flag from a place that has some terrorists.

Only places where terrorist organizations have some large non-trivial power over the region and are supported by large non-trivial segments of the population; pretty much exactly like the region where these palestinian people reside.

I'm just shocked that it was Sweden of all places that did it to be honest with you.

nope. once the Afghani flag aligns themselves with a terror organization, we can have this conversation.

That's kinda fucked up.

That's rather short sighted didn't know they had such close ties with the Israeli government.

edit:
But i'm not that surprised they will do everything in their power and pool all their resources together to just prevent the Palestine state from ever being recognized.

Sweden, what a surprise
