A printed flag of Israel that has been defaced with the Farsi/Persian words (when read right-to-left): "Marg bar Israel" or "Death to Israel". There is a hidden flagpole sleeve at the right hoist side. Sometimes this phrase is translated as "Down with Israel", however "marg" ( مرگ ) is translated as "death", whereas "down" would be "payin" ( پایین ). [Farsi words seldom contain vowels. So, the English word "death" can be spoken in Farsi as either "marg" or "morg"; therefore, sometimes one will see this slogan translated as "Morg bar Israel".]

hidden flagpole sleeve.

A flag showing an Iranian soldier's black bottom-of-boot prints trampling 
atop an anti-Israel flag. 
Well, this photo, it's not a flag that 
"flies". Nor is it a flying boot. But it is an Iranian military (IRGC) boot-soul 
that "dises" (disrespects) the Israeli flag. I do not know whether or not 
anti-Israel Iranians have a "foot fetish" about the national flag of Israel, but 
the photo shows the national flag of Israel has been painted on the bottom of a 
Iranian soldier's boot, obviously to demonstrate a "trample on the Israeli flag" 
during a protest in 2019.
