I swear it gets worse daily. The levels of protection being given to this nation are preposterous

So are the levels of favouritism... Jan.2025 "US government agrees to confer โ€˜minorityโ€™ status on Jewish-owned businesses.... minority businesses have an automatic advantage when they bid for state contracts"

Another advantage .."the Talmud stipulates that Jews must not charge interest on loans to other Jews but must charge as much as possible on loans to non-Jews" Israel Shahak

You have to wonder if the United States of America is now a colony of Zionist Israel.

I don't wonder; I've suspected this for a long time. Start with that premise, and then follow US foreign policy since JFK.

It's becoming pretty clear who's in charge of whom. When will people here wake up, I wonder.

Are we Israel yet? Why donโ€™t we just rename our nation: ISRAMERICA? I prefer AmeriNotReal ๐Ÿ’”

We need a on fire burning zio flag icon. I never imagined I would be cheering trees and homes burning from natural causes until months ago when their invasive species trees were burning in wildfires. Boom, boom Tel Aviv catchy tune.

Our country has become unrecognizable. This failed Genocidal state has literally ruined us.

Does this mean that like treatment for Palestinian symbols are equally protected. Weโ€™ll see.

So here is what I never understood about Jewish=ethnicity. My dad's parents were Jewish. My dad never practiced any religion but when we visited them around the holidays, we celebrated Hanukkah. It was fun! My cousins my age were Jewish. My mom is of carribean descent. I am mixed race, but "Jewish" isn't one of the races because a person is Jewish only if their mother is Jewish. Are Jewish men in Israel legally required to marry only Jewish women? Twenty six percent of Israelis are not even Jewish.

The Zionist flag is a nationalist flag born with the state of Israel. Period. What is ironic in terms of the Zionist flag being considered "racially Jewish" is that the European Ashkenazi Jews who settled Israel and comprise more or less 50% of the population (and all of their leaders have been Ashkenazi - Sephardic Jews are lower class citizens) have been shown to be between 40 - 60% European, so their bearing the Star of David is yet another Colonial ($$$$) farce. And they are far less Semitic than the Palestinians. The Sephardic Jews also are very mixed racially with the Arabs. The Zionists bearing the sacred Star of David on their national flag is the greatest desecration of the Star of David of all. The symbol they should have chosen is the Skull and Crossbones.

Sorry Shaun, I appreciate and support your actions regularly but this appears to be a twisting of the judge's decision. It's not the Israeli flag, but the fact that the counter-demonstrator pulled it off someone's neck where it was tied, that lost them the civil suit. It's a type of assault, probably not racially motivated but certainly an assault. And I will happily burn an Israeli flag in protest soon to test my perspective.

The Star of David is a religious symbol. The flag of the state of Israel is a political symbol,

It's not even that matr, the star is David appears nowhere in Torah. It first appeared after being introduced by the Rothschild banking dynasty around the 1750s. It's nothing to do with Judaism.

Thankfully, you are still protected under the 1A. Thatโ€™s not what this case is about.

Of course. If you havenโ€™t, here is the link: https://www.docdroid.com/IOFXTtw/sumrall-v-ali-12025mc00110-aug-4-2025-pdf#page=18 the entire case is premised on a battery, which is not a constitutionally protected activity. While I vehemently disagree with itโ€™s conclusions regarding the Israeli flag as a religious symbol deserving hate crime protection, im not going to raise a 5 alarm fire over what the case isnโ€™t doing: outlawing constitutional protected activity of flag burning.
