Islamists and leftists celebrate Independence Day in NYC by burning the American flag

 Andrea Widburg - American Thinker  "Even as young people across America are being prosecuted for daring to desecrate the “Pride” crosswalks proliferating in leftist cities, the Hamas/leftist crowd continues to revel in its constitutional right to free speech, which includes burning the American flag on Independence Day. During a New York protest, there were plenty of “Palestinian” flags, which stand for genocide and subjugation, but the only American flags were used as fire starters.

"The protest in New York’s Washington Square Park wasn’t large, but it was fervent. It also perfectly exemplified the coming together of Islamism and leftism in a toxic brew that, if allowed to grow unchecked, will destroy everything in its path:

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.

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.

"The above report, while accurate, is too dry. It doesn’t capture the passion driving these anti-American, antisemitic protestors:" . . .
