🚨 fact check - myth bust 🚨
posted in a followup struggle session thread but felt it should also go here:
original source of the screenshot from what I found. This appears to be wild mis reporting. No other media source Iooked at (The Forward, World Israel News, Baltimore Jewish Times, MSN) reported anything to do with burning.
They were all in line with the actual ruling (SUMRALL v. ALI_12025mc00110_Aug 4, 2025) which was about adding the hate crime multiplier onto an existing charge (in this case battery):
Purposefully yanking on an Israeli flag tied around a Jewish person’s neck to choke them is direct evidence of racial discrimination. The Star of David — emblazoned upon the Israeli flag — symbolizes the Jewish race
Although I did also find a different case which maybe confused things: Hayward man who burned Israeli flag is sentenced for hate crime. This guy did burn an Israeli flag. But the charge was due to having first stolen it. So he also got a hate crime enhancement on theft.
