An American flag was burned and Hamas flags were flown at a Times Square anti-Israel protest on Wednesday, according to footage published by Within Our Lifetime.

A US flag could be seen burning on the ground as a white Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades flag was waved above it during a protest against a pro-Israel event honoring former IDF spokesperson Lt.-Col. (res) Jonathan Conricus.
 
A green Al-Qassam flag could be seen in another video posted on X by the anti-Israel group as could a standard Hamas flag.

But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Be sure to note it wasn't the US media that posted the report.   :nono:

I know many consider the burning of the US flag a right, but I consider it criminal.

Sorry, that level of freedom of speech or expression is flat out wrong when such a large element of the population have zero patriotic instinct.

Burn the US flag, one year in prison, no early release.  And branded a felon for life.  I do not think that unreasonable.  Burning the flag moves beyond peaceful demonstration to what I consider violent demonstration, and there is no place for that in the USA.
