Police Charge Charedi for Torching Israeli Flag
ISRAEL — Jerusalem police on Monday charged a 20-year-old ultra-Orthodox man with disorderly conduct and desecrating the state flag, after he allegedly set Israel’s flag on fire in the Shabbat Square in Jerusalem a day earlier.
The suspect is a member of anti-Zionist sect Neturei Karta, which held a rally on Sunday as the Memorial Day siren honoring Israel’s fallen soldiers sounded throughout the country, israeli media reported.
Police filed for an expedited hearing due to the fact that the man torched the flag a day before the 62nd Independence Day celebrations.
The Jerusalem District Court has set a court date for the court proceedings.
Meanwhile, dozens of ultra-Orthodox, anti-Zionist demonstrators rallied in Jerusalem on Monday and torched Israel’s flag and trash cans on Shivtei Israel Street in the capital, while hurling stones at passing vehicles.
Police arrested a 14-year-old for torching the state flag at the site.

Rebbe Schneerson says, “First there was One. There was no peace, because there was nothing with which to make peace. There was only One.
Then there was Two. There was Plurality. From this point on, an infinite cacophony of conflict extended in all directions and forever.
And on the third day HaShem created peace.
Peace is not homogeneity. Peace does not mean that everyone thinks the same way. Peace is when there is plurality that finds a higher Oneness.”
kiss my
the crux of the issue was missed by BENTZION
the state of israel isnt a torah state and doesnt have legal jurisdiction
the parellel of soldiers that died for a flag is foolish
the real and true cause should be the future and a state that isn’t governed by torah and shabbos observant “jews” isn’t the future
the state of israel today is merely a puppet of power,
a woman seeking the attention of any “qualified suitor”
