Probably two - the Union Jack and the Israeli flag.

The UN flag, but I don't think these guys are tree-huggers. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=41094

I don't recall ever seeing another flag defaced with the peace symbol.

How international is the peace symbol...isn't it mainly American?

Well, I can tell you on good authority that if you did that to a Chinese flag in the PRC, you'll soon wish you hadn't. When I was in China I was explaining to a college student why our freedom of expression allows us to burn or deface our own flag as a form of political protest. He found this curious, and told me that disrespect of a state flag in China is so taboo as to be unimaginable. He wasn't even sure what the exact punishment was, but he was sure, one way or another, it was a crime you'd only attempt once.

The first 30 or so pages of a Google image search revealed no recognizable non-U.S. national flags with a peace symbol.

Found one Texas one:

Technically, it is the footprint of the American Chicken.

I have seen the rainbow flag with the peace sign and I have seen some envirowhacko flag with the peace sign. And thats just within a mile of my house. If you are referring to real flags of real countries, Nope, just the US. Upside down US flags are more plentiful the closer you get to downtown Portland though.

The Union Jack, and the Israeli flag, probably.

The Canadian flag? Possibly, but doubtful.

The American flag lives in the heart and soul of every freedom loving person on earth.

Never doubt that.

Nothing can deface what our flag represents, altho many try.

Have a Canadian flag where it's a pot leaf instead of a maple leaf.

hmmm...I know some people have put that on their UN flag graphics over the years, but no .jpg comes to mind.

You might check Google - Search images for the upsidedown peace sign.

Defacing the US flag is a Viet Nam protest commie hippie thing that was shared with the Latin American communist movement. Now it is just done as a protest symbol for any stinky group that comes along.

The racists who were chanting that Gringos should leave the US in recent protests - they deface the US flag because they hate Gringos and know it hurts Americans when they see the flag disrespected. Racists are very mean like their soul mates, the communists.

You ought to ping everyone with this little factoid:

"Known as the 'peace sign' throughout the 1960's and into the present day, this symbol is the Teutonic rune of death. 1950's peace advocate Gerald Holtom may have been commissioned by communist sympathiser Bertrand Russell to design a symbol to unite leftist peace marchers in 1958. It is clear that either Holtom or Russell deemed the Teutonic (Neronic) cross as the appropriate symbol for their cause.

"Throughout the last 2,000 years this symbol has designated hatred of Christians. Nero, who despised Christians, crucified the Apostle Peter on a cross head downward. This hideous event resembled the Teutonic cross and became a popular pagan insignia of the day. Thereafter, this sign became known as the 'Neronic cross.'

"The symbol's origin in history proves it to be the visual mystic character for 'Aum' (the split 'Y'). This is the sacred word to the Hindu. Chanting 'Aum' is supposed to help awaken 'the serpent power of Brahma' at the base of the human spine. Occultist Albert Pike also identifies this symbol as mystical in his book on Freemasonry Morals and Dogma.

The peace symbol (also called the "broken cross," "crow's foot," "witch's foot," "Nero Cross," "sign of the 'broken Jew,'" and the "symbol of the 'anti-Christ''') is actually a cross with the arms broken. It also signifies the "gesture of despair," and the "death of man."

Now isn't it odd that it's always used by the left...?
