A friend told me about how her band almost broke up because of a disagreement over whether to allow some Israelis to dance at their performance with an Israeli flag. She said she would definitely not allow the flag, and that it was similar to a Nazi or Confederate flag.
I asked her: What if it were a Chinese flag?
"That's more complicated," she said.
What about an American flag?, I asked.
"Also complicated."
What about a French flag?, I asked.
"That would be fine", she said.

Anyway I thought it was kind of an interesting interaction...
