"I thought a while ago that people were taking the St Georges flag back from the English nationalists but now they seemed to have abandoned it, wrong move IMO." Well, I've always liked the St George's flag. This is a favourite book of my childhood (this edition, though enjoyed by me, was a hand-me-down, not a new book, I should add):- https://thecityoflostbooks.glasgow.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Rainbows-End.jpg And St George, well, "his connection to Palestine includes:- His mother's homeland: St. George is thought to have been born in Cappadocia (modern-day Turkey), but many accounts state his mother was from Lydda, in the Roman province of Palestine (now Lod in Israel). After his father's death, his mother reportedly took him to historic Palestine, where he was raised. Where he was martyred: He was executed for his Christian faith in Lydda, Palestine, in the year 303 AD. His tomb in Lod became a centre for Christian pilgrimage. St. George's significance to Palestinians St. George holds special meaning for Palestinian Christians, who see him as a native saint and local hero". Lydda was a site of violent expulsion and destruction in the 1948 war.
