Upon Seeing The Saint George's Flag Next To Anti-Refugee Graffiti Again This Week Sometimes I wonder what Saint George, a man who had a Palestinian mother and a Turkish father, a man who gave away his possessions to the poor and the sick, to those most in need of aid, a man who was taken as a prisoner of war and tortured, would think that a flag in his name is flown by a country that is sending arms to destroy his mother's homeland while using that same flag as a symbol to say that those who need asylum most are enemies who are not welcome here. - Nikita Gill
