Scotland’s streets are stirring. In Glasgow’s Southside, Victoria Road, Queen’s Park, which is in Nicola Sturgeon’s former constituency, new flags are flying. These are not national flags; they mix the Saltire with the Palestinian colours called the Palestine-Scotland Solidarity Flag.
This isn’t immigration. It’s infiltration.
How long will it take before the pro-Palestinians replace the Scottish flag with the palestine one.

Groups like United in Resistance and the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign (SPSC) call it solidarity. But the locals are angry, fuming, calling it an abomination as they are hijacking their streets without any vote or nod from the community. Folks are saying things like, “We don’t want it – it’s a shambles,” and “Patriotism isn’t a privilege; it’s the pulse of place.”
They see it as a bad move, tying Scotland’s peaceful cross to Hamas. This group murdered innocent Jews on October 7th and is now killing its own people in Gaza, even after Trump’s October 2025 ceasefire.
Where are the protests in Glasgow city centre that denounce that violence? There’s plenty of pro-Palestine marches (one hit Glasgow Green on Oct. 11 with hundreds honouring Gaza victims), but ZERO street noise about Hamas’s own brutal house-cleaning. There are different tribes or factions or rival clans like Doghmush or militias under guys like Yasser Abu Shabab, who are pushing back; they want their slice of actual peace without Hamas’s iron fist.
But no one’s marching in Glasgow for those Gaza innocents caught in the crossfire. Selective outrage, eh? It’s a teachable moment for end-times watching nations raging (Psalm 2), but the Prince of Peace is drawing near.
But honestly, this isn’t about land. It’s jealousy. Israel shines bright, drip irrigation for deserts, Waze for roads, Teva meds saving lives worldwide and the envisioned Ben Gurion Canal project, which I’m excited about. Yet some, like Hamas and their backers, want Israel gone.
Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of a Hamas founder, saw this evil up close. Mosab himself, I love his fire. A believer baptised in 2008, he prayed at Hebron’s Tomb of the Patriarchs on October 8, 2025, with Yishai Fleisher, defying hate with hope. The Bible calls it Ishmael’s envy of Isaac (Genesis 21:9), a spiritual battle (Ephesians 6:12).
But God’s banner rises higher. In Scripture, flags were standards, tribes rallied around the tabernacle (Numbers 2), God Himself our ensign (Psalm 60:4). Today, Scotland’s Saltire should lift Christ, not mix with terror. Leaders like Humza Yousaf and his wife Nadia El-Nakla push pro-Palestine causes via the Muslim Impact Forum, but it’s selective, tears for Gaza, silence on Hamas’s crimes. Turkey’s first lady, Emine Erdoğan, fans this fire, yet it’s a mask for darker aims.
Hope still burns, and the fire of revival calls us forward! My MacLeod roots trace to Lewis’s 1949 Revival, Peggy and Christine Smith, frail sisters (one blind, 84; one arthritic, 82), prayed in Barvas till heaven split. Rev. Duncan Campbell stayed two years; 1,000 saved, pubs shuttered, moors alive with conviction. Peterhead’s 1860 awakening saw 200 fishermen weep in harbours, pubs to prayer-huts. Tyneside’s 1860 fire saved shipyard souls; Aberdeen’s 1905 outpouring birthed missions. Helensburgh, my home by the Gareloch, felt 1859-60’s Lowland wave as kirks pulsed, hearts turned, sparked by the Ulster Awakening across the Irish Sea.
There is no lone blaze here yet, but embers glow. Maybe one day soon!
We need Peggy and Christine’s cry again, desperate, unceasing prayer in cottages by the quay. My son, 20, nonverbal with autism, witnesses it silently as Vizion Church in Glasgow has a bunch of prayer warriors and at home.
As a MacLeod-Gordon watchman, a prayer chain here could ignite places like the old fishing ports. As the Holy Spirit comes and ignites fire before the trumpet of (1 Thess. 4:16)!
Let’s raise banners of truth, prepare the way (Mark 1:3).
Pray for Scotland’s soul.
