Why is the text squashed? The text should not be squashed.

The Latin alphabet has wider letters than the Arabic Abjad, and I thought it would look better if both sides of the text were equal width

I don’t think English belongs on the Palestinian flag, given the region’s history.

English as the language of international protest is a well observed phenomenon even within the region,

Moreover, it’s a translation showing what the Arabic text is saying for English speakers who are protesting in solidarity to be able to understand.
