"Biladi, biladi — My homeland, my homeland." The flag of Palestine features three horizontal bands of black, white, and green with a red triangle extending from the hoist. The design draws directly from the Arab Revolt flag of 1916, in which Sharif Hussein bin Ali raised the banner of the Great Arab Revolt against Ottoman rule, and each color represents a dynasty of Islamic history: black for the Abbasid Caliphate, white for the Umayyad Caliphate, green for the Fatimid Caliphate, and red for the Hashemite lineage. The flag was adopted by the Palestine Liberation Organization in 1964 and has served as the national standard of the Palestinian people ever since. Palestine occupies a historic crossroads of the Levant, encompassing territories of profound significance to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam across more than five thousand years of recorded civilization. 1:2 Proportion
