"Okay but where’s the American flag," said one commenter.
"This morning," the outlet wrote, "in another show of solidarity, Palestinian flags were placed on the 'Welcome to Dearborn Heights' sign along Ford Road, highlighting the city's support for the people of Palestine."
Dearborn Heights is 84.1 percent "white," per the latest census. The comments on the post were not entirely in solidarity with the sentiment.
"Okay but where’s the American flag," said one commenter.
Another person said "don't try and change flags in the USA. Our flag flies first then whatever flag. This is AMERICAN LAND. Keep that I'm mind."
"We need more AMERICAN FLAGS in these ppls hands they all live in America. Where’s the American flag tho?" said another.
In addition to these, there were plenty of users who praised Dearborn Heights for "standing up for the people who are being ethnically cleansed with the help of the American tax payer money to the tune of BILLIONS of dollars!" One of those identified herself as being from Southern California.
Dearborn Heights is a suburb of Detroit. It is very near the town of Hamtramck, which recently made headlines after an entirely Muslim city council in a Muslim-majority town banned Pride flags in the community. Hamtramck, which is a Muslim-majority town, made the announcement that "the city does not want to open the door for radical or racist groups to ask for their flags to be flown."
"Only, the American flag, and the nations' flags that represent the international character of our City shall be flown," Councilman and Mayor Pro Tem Mohammed Hassan stated, adding that it was imperative to "maintain and confirm the neutrality of the city of Hamtramck towards its residents."
The town claimed that this ordinance barred the promotion of any "religious, ethnic, racial, political, or sexual orientation group." In March, the town approved a proclamation in support of Palestinians and opposing military aid from the US going to "repressive governments." The proclamation was preceeded by the resignation of one council member.
Both Dearborn and Hamtramck had large marches advocating for Palestinians in which they waved Palestinian flags and called for the nation of Israel to undertake a ceasefire in Gaza. This comes after Palestinian terror group Hamas attacked Israel on October 7 in a bloody and brutal surprise attack that was years in the planning.
