Egyptian Flagman

"An Egyptian provincial governor has rewarded a protester who tore down the flag from the Israeli embassy in Cairo with a job, new home and honorary shield, newspapers reported on Thursday.  Ahmad al-Shahat shot to fame after scaling the tall building, removing the Israeli flag and replacing it with Egypt's national colors as hundreds demonstrated outside the embassy on Saturday night.  Thousands cheered and encouraged Shahat as he climbed and jubilation broke out as he ripped the flag from the pole.  Video images of Shahat clambering up the building swept the Internet and set off a flurry of “Flagman” postings on social network Twitter."
