Fig Flag

Shipping in early spring!

The Fig Flag features the phrase “Abolish War” in four languages (إلغاء الحرب, Abolir La Guerra, מיגור מלחמה), invoking the prophet Micah’s utopian vision: Nation shall not take up / sword against nation; /  they shall never again know war; /but every family shall sit / under its own vine and fig tree / with no one to disturb them.

The flag designer and Hamsa Flag Project founder Tom Haviv writes that these Levantine- and Andalusian-inspired flags “are rooted in principles of peace, nonviolence, and justice” and “are not tied to any nation but are symbols of hybridity and possibility, aiming to inspire reconciliation, new forms of identity and cultural expression beyond nationalism, and a world beyond war.” 

Proceeds from 10 percent of orders will go to Gaza Soup Kitchen, an organization that serves the resilient communities of Gaza through a network of kitchens, providing daily hot meals and clean drinking water to those in need.
