Flag of Palestine
The Palestine flag has a heritage that is significantly older than the nation itself. The flag is a clear descendant of the flag of the Arab Revolt, so many aspects of the design are shared with the flags of other Arab nations. Those similarities give the Palestine flag meaning as a symbol of Palestinian solidarity with other Arab nations in addition to its traditional role as a symbol of the nation of Palestine and the Palestinian people.
The Palestinian flag is based on the Flag of the Arab Revolt. It's been in use to represent the Palestinian people since 1964.
The base design of the flag is three equal horizontal stripes (black, white, and green from top to bottom). There is a red triangle at the hoist. These are the Pan-Arab colors. The flag is almost identical to that of the Baath Party, and extremely similar to the flags of Jordan, and Western Sahara, all of which draw their inspiration from the Arab Revolt against Ottoman rule (1916–1918). Prior to being the flag of Palestine, it was the flag of the short lived Arab Federation of Iraq and Jordan. The flag of the Arab Revolt had the same graphic form, but the colours were arranged differently (white on the bottom, rather than in the middle).

Colors and Symbolism: Palestine Flag Meaning
The Palestine flag is made up of three horizontal stripes of black, white, and green that stretch out from a red triangle that is aligned along the flag's hoist. The design is very similar to that of several other nations, and that similarity is a result of the shared heritage of those flags. The flag of Palestine is derived from the Pan-Arab flag, so that flag provided the Palestine flag meaning. White are our deeds, black are our battles, Green are our fields, red are our swords.
