A video of a Puerto Rican flag being waved from a car going in circles and blocking an expressway in New York has been shared online to falsely claim that it shows a Palestinian flag.

The video was filmed near the Randall Avenue exit on the Cross Bronx Expressway in New York, not the Long Island Expressway.
