A SHORT HISTORY OF THE ISLAMIC ‘BLACK FLAG’ IN JERUSALEM

By SETH J. FRANTZMAN

An article at Times of Israel claims to have spotted the ISIS flag in Jerusalem.

“Shopkeeper in Jerusalem’s Old City was seen flying the banner of the Islamic State, the brutal Sunni jihadi group, on Sunday.” Did they ask the shopkeeper?  He couldn’t be reached for comment. This is part of a new alarmism about ISIS flags in Israel.  Some reported them in Nazareth and other towns.  Supposedly “Channel 10 exposed on Sunday that in recent months black ISIS flagshave been commonly seen in Arab-Israeli towns in northern and coastal Israel, notably in the cities of Nazareth and Akko.”
