Displaying Palestinian and Kufiya flags in cars and at homes to show solidarity with the people of Gaza has become a trend in Bahrain, where many people are enquiring online on how to get hold of such a flag.
Many netizens have come forward to help fellow compatriots searching online for ways to get a Palestinian or Kufiya flag in the Kingdom, with online forums indicating that such flags are not readily available everywhere in Bahrain.
According to recent online discussions, Palestinian flags can be purchased from the bustling souqs of Manama and Muharraq. Netizens suggest thoroughly exploring these traditional markets to locate vendors selling the flags, as it is often in the small, obscure shops where they are available.
For those seeking a more personalised touch, tailors in Bahrain offer an alternative solution. By visiting a tailor and providing them with the fabric, which can be purchased from any clothing shop in Manama, individuals can have a custom-made Palestinian flag created in no time, a netizen suggested.
Simply show the tailor a picture of the Palestinian flag and specify the desired size, and they will be able to bring your vision to life, a user said. People are getting the flags from online retailers too.
In addition to Amazon and eBay, online marketplaces such as Fruggo.bh are selling flags, banners, and scarves. Flags cost BD2.9 each, banners are priced at BD3.9 each, and custom scarves can be had for 950 fils from the online shops, netizens said.
Information on where to get flags and banners is also being shared through the social media platforms of organisations supporting the Palestinian cause, a user pointed out. By displaying Palestinian and Kufiya flags, Bahrainis are contributing to a global movement of support and empathy for the Palestinian cause, in addition to expressing their solidarity.
