SWISS/ENGLISH FLAG vs TEMPLAR CROSS
Technically it’s (a) the st george’s cross with straight arms (b) the templar cross has arms that flare out at the ends.
While the templar cross appeard first in the 1100s and the st George’s cross later in the 12-1300s, the presumption is (I haven’t really dug into the background) that they have a common origin or common inspiration.
They are however, fundamentally, catholic crusader sysmbols that maintain the symbolism of “warriors of christendom’.
In other words even though the two crosses have slightly different crusader origins, they originate with the same sentiment. Sort of the american flag vs the british flag.
Today the St George’s cross remains the flag of england, is used in one way or another by multiple countries, and remains a symbol of christendom.
Which is precisely why middle easterners don’t like it. It’s evidence of their previous greek, roman, continental (french), anglo, and now american conquests of their region on one hand, but finding nothing worth colonizing there are evidence of the failure of their civilization to do other than create a religoin that organizes a clannish, tribalistic, low trust, low average iq, superstitioius population with limited emotional regulation, that’s easily prone to barbaric violence.
