Delta Airlines Apologizes and Alters Uniform Policy After Palestinian Pin Controversy

The airline faced backlash for a social media post equating Palestinian flag pins to Hamas badges, prompting policy changes and an apology.

Delta's social media account responded to a post falsely equating Palestinian flag pins to Hamas badges, sparking outrage.
The airline apologized and stated the employee responsible for the post no longer manages their social channels.
Delta's new policy permits only U.S. flag pins on uniforms, ending the previous allowance for pins representing other countries.
The Islamic Relations condemned the initial post as racist and demanded an apology and employee education.
The flight attendants wearing the pins were compliant with the prior uniform policy and continue to be employed by Delta.
