The anti-Israel crowd proved once again this week that they hate the United States of America just as much, maybe even more. In Washington Square Park and other locations, protesters burned American flags and made a general nuisance of themselves.
These people are part of the Democrat party’s base.
The New York Post reports:
Disgraceful America-hating anti-Israel protesters burn US flag on July 4th in NYC A braying mob of around 100 anti-Israel protesters spent Independence Day burning American flags and chanting “Burn it down!” in Washington Square Park, part of a coordinated “Flood Manhattan for July 4th” demonstration.At least one person was arrested, cops said, but they did not disclose the charges the alleged perpetrator was facing.Video shows a New Yorker in a Yankees hat trying to reason with the group, but he’s quickly shouted down by a man in glasses who gleefully cheers “F–k Israel! F–k America! Woohoo!” as his fellow pampered trust-fund radicals giggle in approval.The camera then pans down to a tattered Old Glory, smoldering next to a poster depicting Trump and Biden wearing crowns beneath “DEATH TO ALL KINGS” in big block letters.The poster was evidently a reference to the Supreme Court’s ruling earlier this week granting US presidents “absolute immunity” from prosecution from “official acts” during their time in office.Keffiyeh-wearing photographers brought their lenses in close to capture the flag desecration as chants of “Free free free Palestine” and “Burn it down” echoed throughout the park.

Margaret Clark of RedState asks an obvious question:
It’s July 4th, and Americans Are Burning Our Flag — Why Are These People Even Here?It’s July 4th, and instead of celebrating our country, protestors in New York City’s Washington Square Park are burning our flag.The Pro-Hamas protesters think that the best way to “free Palestine” is to spit upon the country that made “free” even a thing…The ignorance and the disrespect are unbearable. It is infuriating to consider how we got to this point. How did it happen? In part, we have allowed people to migrate here — often illegally — who do not share our values or have any desire to assimilate. And that must stop, now.Secondly, poor leadership has allowed people to destroy property, assault others, praise terror, threaten entire people groups, and call for the destruction of our country — all in the name of free speech. Where is the line? Why can’t a peaceful protest be clearly defined from a violent one, and laws enforced? When does freedom of speech become hate speech? When does anti-American language qualify as terrorism or encouraging terror? The founding fathers did not envision anarchy when they outlined our freedoms. The kid-glove handling of these brats must stop.
These people are not interested in debates about policy or the direction of our country.
They want to burn it down.
