A video of a crow throwing down an Israeli flag has gone viral across the web in 2023. The video claim is true.
The clip shows the crow stubbornly removing an Israeli flag from a pole with its beak and throwing it to the ground. The flag was hung from the roof of a building in the occupied Palestinian territories until a crow snatched it and dropped it to the ground after several attempts. The footage of the crow went viral on the web, with many users ironically joking about the episode and some commenting on the ‘lesson’ the bird seemed to be teaching. Beaming on the video and its elements, findings showed that it was first posted on April 30 by Palestine online. Several videos have also emerged showing the trend of crows and other animals tearing Israeli flags. WABMA team checked.
