In the latest 'fact is weirder than fiction' stories circulating the internet, may we present this banger.
A mistake at a large pro-Hamas protest in Kerala, India, saw hundreds raising the Italian flag (🇮🇹) instead of the Palestinian flag (🇵🇸). pic.twitter.com/g3tcs277UI

Apparently, some protestors in India are so committed to the plight of the Palestinian people, they don't even know what flag to use. They raised the Italian flag, instead. Italy deserves all of our love for their delicious food, but it was not the right banner to use in this case.
Apparently this is actually the flag of their party, The Welfare Party of India

But now I think it’s hilarious that the Welfare Party chose the Italian flag as their official party flag

Another take is they may have just been using a form of the flag of the 'Welfare Party' of India.
I don't see the laurels, though.

It’s on some of them further back, it looks like the Italian Flag motif is their locally recognized shorthand flag. Look at the bottom of the banner they’re carrying

It's all quite confusing and all a big insult to the flag of Italy. We can all agree on that.

No matter their intention with the flag, the tweets were 'im-past-able' to pass up.
