A United Airlines flight attendant was spotted wearing a Palestinian flag pin on a domestic flight — riling pro-Israel advocates even as the airline stood by its uniform policy.

“StopAntisemitism is alarmed by the rising trend of US airline employees displaying Palestinian flags and keffiyehs while on duty,” StopAntisemitism founder Liora Rez said. “There are no flights to Palestine.“Political stances belong off the clock,” Rez said. “Airlines must ensure that passengers aren’t confronted with divisive symbols in what should be a neutral space.” Fla.

The group is calling on airlines to prohibit such symbols — but United isn’t budging on its policy to allow flight staff to wear Palestinian or other flag pins “that represent their pride.”
