A federal court has issued a ruling that redefines the boundaries of free speech in the United States. Judge Trevor N. McFadden ruled that ‘desecrating’ the Israeli flag is not political expression but racial discrimination.
The decision means burning, tearing, or grabbing the Israeli flag can be prosecuted as hate conduct. By contrast, the US Supreme Court has long protected the burning of the American flag under the First Amendment.
I never thought I needed to burn an Israeli flag but I guess I do now
Thank you comrade.
Exactly. This makes me want to burn the flag! You should be able to burn anything you purchase. It’s yours, after all.
