The Flotilla Gesture Is Still on the Lido

TL;DR

La Voce di New York files the Global Sumud Flotilla arriving on the Lido with a Palestinian flag. A gesture is not a Biennale flag. Print the dock.

MSM Perspective

La Voce files the arrival. Sky TG24 files the same Lido day. Tuesday does not invent a Biennale flag.

X Perspective

Feeds treat a boat as already the festival's official banner.

A Global Sumud Flotilla boat arrived on the Lido with a Palestinian flag. [1] La Voce di New York filed the gesture. [1] Sky TG24 filed the same festival day. [2] A docked protest is not a Biennale flag. Print the gesture. Do not print an official banner.

Leave later kite actions to the edition that owns later kite actions. Barbera saying only recognized-state flags fly is a festival rule, not this boat. Print the dock. Print not a Biennale flag.

Print the gesture. Tuesday is not an official Lido banner. A sit-in is still a sit-in. Leave later kites to later. Print the dock as the named Tuesday hold. Venice4Palestine on the Lido is a protest, not a Biennale seal.

Festival protests have a long Lido history; the dock, not the palace, is their stage. A boat with a flag is speech, not programming. Tuesday logs the speech.

Speech logs accumulate; programming ignores them. Tuesday's log grows. The palace programs on.

Growing logs don't become programming; Tuesday's log is speech. Speech stays on the dock. Palaces program other films.

Festival protests have a long Lido history. Tuesday logs the speech. The palace programs other films.

Flags at the dock do not enter the catalog. The Sumud arrival is a sit-in La Voce and Sky both filed. Barbera's recognized-state rule still decides the palace. Official banners have not been rewritten today.
Barbera's recognized-state rule still decides the palace. Official banners have not been rewritten today. The palace programs other films.
