㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
A Flag Is Born was a 1946 Broadway play starring Marlon Brando that advocated for a Jewish homeland in Mandatory Palestine. Through 2010 the opening explained that Holocaust survivors deserved to have their own land where they could live free from oppression and the anti-Semitic tyranny of the outside world. The word does not appear anywhere in the article today; the opening describes only the play's advocacy for the creation of a homeland for the Jewish people. A reader today learns the play argued for a Jewish homeland and not that it explicitly framed the cause as an escape from antisemitic tyranny.
