Congressman Allen West: If Taiwan Can't Fly Flag, Why Can PLO?

Israel National News reports that "Representative Allen West (R-Fl) has joined House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairwoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fl) in condemning the official flying of a PLO flag in Washington. The office of Rep. West said that the raising of the flag is 'an attempt to legitimize an organization with a known history of terrorist actions,' in a written news release reported in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel."

West's office noted: "By allowing this flag to be flown, the United States is extending a diplomatic right that we refrain from offering to even our own allies, like Taiwan. This action is a diplomatic slap in the face of our greatest of allies, Israel." Tweet
