There’s also the Indian and Pakistani flag wrapped together and they have been at each other’s throats since 1947 when Pakistan was created. So, I am guessing they were grouping the conflicting nations together? (Although Israel was only a state during the 1950s, I’ll never get over the fact that A FREAKING STATE BECAME A COUNTRY WHILE THE THEN COUNTRY IS NOW MERELY REFUGEES AND THEY CALL THE PALESTINIANS TERRORISTS. WHAT??)

Where’s the Mexican flag to show the invasion and takeover of our country?

These countries have been at odds for decades so no; seems very appropriate actually.

No they have always been at odds.

It’s not that uncanny given historical relationships between these counties— Russia and USA tensions off-and-on since post WWII, Israel and Iran are fundamental enemies because of religion, etc. The mural depicts these countries together because the same conflicts happening today, are the same ones happening back then except to a different degree.
The more interesting component of this mural is the person wielding the hammer at the Anvil, forming these weapons into something new— a sword with a curved edge, pointing right back at the people with no true welder, just the maker. Who does the boy with the hammer represent?
