Syrian-US combination

image located by William Garrison, 25 September 2020 can be viewed at https://images.jpost.com/image/upload/q_auto/c_fill,g_faces:center,h_537,w_822/464174. It is a handheld flag (or flag-waver) that consists of a white field, with a reverse US flag on a short pole crossed with an obverse Syrian flag on a similar pole, below which are the words FREE SYRIA in green sans serif block capitals. Light showing through the flag reveals the other side is a Syrian national flag.

The "source's" Jerusalem Sept. 25, 2020 website does not identify where or when this Syria-U.S. flag is being used. The article refers to U.S. military action in Syria, but does not specifically inform a reader about where this flag is utilized. With the flag's "Free Syria" slogan being printed in English, one might deduce that it might have been distributed at some anti-Pres.-Assad policy-influencing rally in Washington, D.C. If it had been used somewhere in Syria, one would think that the slogan would have been printed in Arabic.

The flag in question, by Thomson Reuters, has been in use (at least) since October 2015, as this article shows: https://www.businessinsider.com/r-exclusive-congress-probing-us-spy-agencies-possible-lapses-on-russia-2015-10 (date quoted: Reuters, Oct 8, 2015, 1:03 AM).

In the article mentioned above, the same image is seen (located here: https://i.insider.com/5615fbdb5afbd36b718b4567?width=400&format=jpeg&auto=webp) and the picture caption reads: "Syrian-Americans protest Russian intervention in Syria outside a Russian consular office in Santa Monica". Hence, the inscription of "FREE SYRIA" in English and not in Arabic.
