A popular Jewish summer camp in Washington state raised a Palestinian flag last week in what it called a “teachable moment,” angering campers, parents and other supporters of Israel. The backlash came from Jews who said the Palestinian flag did not belong at a Jewish summer camp, according to reports. “For the sake of a teachable moment, we did raise the Palestinian flag as a sign of friendship and acceptance,” the email said. “We sincerely apologize that we upset some in our CSS and larger Jewish community by introducing the Palestinian flag into our educational program. The Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported that Camp Solomon Executive Director Sam Perlin and co-board president Andy Kaplowitz also expressed regret in a statement Sunday.
