Burning the flag of Israel is now illegal, but not the U.S. flag. That is insane! On one hand, it is legal in the U.S. due to its protection under the 1st. Amendment to burn the Old Glory but a new law makes it illegal to boycott Israel and/or burning the flag of Israel. 
 
Believe it or not, last October, a Howard, California man, Christopher Husary, 36, was sentenced to 364 days in jail & 2 yrs. of probation 4 burning the flag of Israel.
According to Jewish Telegraph, AIPAC has recently rushed an anti-BDS law in US Congress. To entice US lawmakers, AIPAC has sent over 50 Congressional Reps and top political operatives on an all-expense paid trip to Israel. AIPAC, which is a bunch of unregistered foreign agents, won't release the list of names.

In an important step toward the economic isolation of Israel due to its genocide in Gaza, Norway's Government Pension Fund Global has decided to divest from yet more Israeli companies. 

Killing from the sky has long offered the sort of detachment that warfare on the ground can’t match. Far from its victims, air power remains the height of modernity. And yet, as the monk Thomas Merton concluded in a poem, using the voice of a Nazi commandant, “Do not think yourself better because you burn up friends and enemies with long-range missiles without ever seeing what you have done.”

Action alert with bullhorn

$10 million is up for reinvestment on September 1st.

Tell Ohio State Treasurer Robert Sprague NO MORE ISRAEL BONDS! CALL TREASURER ROBERT SPRAGUE'S OFFICE (614) 466-2160.

Ask to speak with a representative about the state's investment portfolio.

HERE'S A SCRIPT TO USE:

"Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I'm an Ohio taxpayer from [City/County].  I'm calling to urge the Treasurer's office to stop investing in Israel Bonds and put Ohio first.  Specifically, a $10 million Israel Bond investment is up for reinvestment on September 1st.

I urge the Treasurer's office to not reinvest this money. Will you please pass my message on to Treasurer Robert Sprague and his team? Talking points: Ohio has over $262 million of our taxpayer money in these bonds, which are now high-risk with a downgraded credit rating. This is a fiscally irresponsible use of our money.
