Lots of things like this happen when Cities are twinned, I'm not sure how I feel really.

It seems to be a thing several councils have adopted in order to brown-nose their local muslim population. No-one likes what's happening in Gaza, but it's not the council's business to make this kind of statement.
What's needed is a someone to raise a huge flag opposite the council buildings with the words 'Glasgow city council are a bunch of pompous, posturing ars.eholes'.

There will be, and clearly are, people who think this was inappropriate and others will think it admirable that overdue support was expressed for the "fish in the barrel". Unlike some, I do not see any connection between the issues surrounding the independence referendum and the council's actions - unless it is that currently neither Palestinians or Scots have full control over their affairs.

A few councils around the UK have raised the Palestinian flag.
I wonder if they will adorn their buildings with Christian images to show their support of the stuggle of Christians in Iraq against the Islamic State? After all, more UK relevant than the problems in Gaza.
Cherry picking support to fit in with their own political agenda.

I think it's inappropriate for a local council to take sides on an issue which has nothing to do with local interests.
As others have already said - 'gesture politics'.
However, I don't agree that they should be limited to the Union flag or flag of St George (referencing English local authorities, obv).
