desecration of “israeli” flag?

so i’ve seen several things saying that desecration of the “israeli” flag is now illegal in the US because it’s racial discrimination or a hate crime or something? is that true or are news articles just twisting words to make it seem that way? this is crazy lmao

But no yeah, as of 3 days ago (?) pretty sure federal judge Trevor n McFadden declared that the Israeli flag is not a political symbol but a racial one. So they’ve made burning one a hate crime, and it’s not protected under our rights to protest in the same way our right to burn an American flag is protected as a form of protest.

I see, I don’t see if phrased anywhere that it’ll illegal. Very interesting though

I’m not very caught up on what’s going on in the world right now. I roll my eyes at every war because I’m against involvement in war. But for it being illegal in the US seems far fetched. Of course I can understand it being frowned upon and not right

oh so this is recent as FUCK. Goddangit Trump appointees are such morons.

yeah it doesn’t specifically say “burning an israeli flag is illegal” but it does say that it’s “racial discrimination” and that the flag is a symbol of “the jewish race” and racial hate crimes are federally illegal so that would definitely imply that it’s illegal, right?

do i know who put what in place? making hate crimes illegal? i don’t know but im pretty sure they’ve been illegal for a while….
but to be clear, there is no “israel - palestine war”. “israel” is committing an active genocide against palestinians. you say “im not very caught up on what’s going on in the world right now” which is very obvious. it is VERY clearly a genocide if you’re paying any attention at all.

Haha lmfao I’ll stay boycotting

I don’t see this being reported on by Associated Press or Reuters.

Why would you comment a condescending “100% not true hahahha….”
While literally in your words are “not very caught up on what’s going on in the world right now.” Clearly. Don’t comment on stuff you know absolutely nothing about.

Is this case related to that lawyer who was charged with arson? He burned a flag during protests at Columbia last year…and now they’re interpreting vandalism as a hate crime? Is that right? Very scary if true.

this one is about a jewish woman who had the israeli flag tied around her neck like a cape at a protest and another woman pulled on it or it got caught on her or something and it pulled around her neck a little and then the other woman was arrested for assault and the jewish woman claimed it was because she’s jewish and therefore it’s a hate crime

😞 This is fucking terrible.

But to answer the original question, no it is not illegal to burn or desecrate the Israeli flag. I still don’t see where anyone has been convicted of a hate crime—but this administration is definitely trying to see if the court goes for it.

A state and a race are not the same thing. Intertwining the Jewish people with the state of Israel is a mistake. The state is the government making terrible choices, it’s nothing to do with religion and it shouldn’t cloak itself in that for protection.

Looking for new friends

Hey mamas! I’m a mom starting fresh, and I’m looking for a mom bestie to share this journey with. My friends mostly have older kids, so I’m hoping to connect with someone in a similar stage.

I work a lot, but I love music, spending time outdoors, and just enjoying life’s little adventures. I’d love to meet a mom who’s down to chat, swap stories, maybe do a playdate, coffee, or stroller walk, and just build a real friendship. 💖

If you’re looking for a supportive, fun, and real mom friend, let’s connect! Bonus points if you’re up for music, fresh air, or just laughing over the chaos of motherhood..

For those that are paying attention to what’s going on in the US and the state of the WORLD…(Not enough people are)—How are you all coping?

How are you managing a full time job that is funding genocides—-Seeing our rights being slowly taken away. They already came for our reproductive rights. They’re trying to disenfranchise millions of female voters by passing the Save Act. Mainstream media and social media censoring. Mass civilian surveillance. Poisoned water, food. A health care system that puts a band aid on illness to keep the business going—and coming back home to your kids and pretending like anything about this shit is normal. Oh and our world leaders run the largest human trafficking ring. AND the US is trying to cover it up and refuses to hold anyone accountable. And these are the people in charge. Such commendable beings. I’m pretty anxious. So besides self care. How are you coping? Maybe you can comment on what you do for self care.

Curious…

Hello! Can i ask you mamas what your husband/partner does for a living that allows you to comfortably be a SAHM? We’d like to eventually transition to that as our family grows, but also want the freedom to build the life we want. Also open to hearing if any of you work remote or side gigs to help contribute financially? Much appreciated! 🩵🩵🩵

Contraceptive

Hi looking for advice on what people think is the best form of contraception

I had the pill which I fell pregnant on, the injection which I bled non stop on, the coil which I thought was good until it came out on its own.

I know I don’t want anymore children my little boy is definitely enough.

Also has anyone’s partner had the snip seeking advice on this too as I’ve asked my partner to do it, he didn’t seem very keen😂
