As far as I can gather, some people supporting reunification have adopted the Palestinian flag because they see Palestinians as "brothers in spirit" (i.e. seeing themselves as victims of an occupying government seeking to erase their national and cultural identity while they struggle for liberation, or something to that effect). And through a very obvious but also very weird leap of logic, some of those opposing them have adopted the flag of Israel as a symbol of their opposition. And from that point on they probably just went wild and added other unionist symbols to the flag because running around with regular Israeli flags felt weird or something. EDIT: Someone linked a YouTube clip of a comedia making light of the flag situation that has apparently escalated to the point of the Italian flag being used as a symbol of resistance because someone saw an Italian flag in a Northern Irish school and got upset mistaking it for the Irish one. That's probably the biggest parallel to Palestine I can find given that flag drama in Palestine has escalated to the point where watermelons have become a resistance symbol because of the similarity of its colors to the Palestinian flag, which is banned by Israeli police.
