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.

Jewish cabal conspiracy believers eating good with this one. How else do you explain it(beyond the actual reality that americans being against america does not pose any threat to america thus it is allowed; but if enough americans are anti-israel, the weapons might get cut off and it's over for the entity)? Sometimes it seems like the project of zionism is exclusively created to prove antisemites correct.

Average Zionist authority reading Nazi conspiracy theories.

conflating antisemitism with antizionism is their only strategy to justify the genocide so they will try everything in their power to make it seem so.
