The Labour (One Israel) Party flags show their logo [instead of the Magen David] on the national flag.

This is not an official flag and has no specifications, but it is hoisted in front of the party headquarters in Tel-Aviv. The size of the emblem could differ from one production series to another. I guess it depends in who the manufacturer is.

The Labour party used to use the red colour. However, since red is not politically correct anymore, it switched also to the national colours, sometimes with a lighter shade of blue.

Today I saw the flag of the Labour Party with red logo as shown above.

I believe both flags are used. Better made flags (in use at the party headquarters etc.) show the red emblem. Those for common use (plastic flags etc.) have an all-blue emblem to save costs.

Ha'Noar Ha'Oved ve-Ha'Lomed

Scanned from today's Yediot Akhronot newspaper, as seen in a youth demonstration in Jerusalem, the flag of the youth movement Ha'Noar Ha'Oved ve-Ha'Lomed. It is one of the biggest youth movements in Israel and it has —as can be understood from its flag— a socialist background. Even though not officially connected, it can be regarded as the Labour Party youth movement.
