Israel Police Cut Palestine Flag Off a Man's Yarmulke
The metaphor for "Israel mutilating Judaism in favour of ethnonationalist state worship" couldn't be more obvious.
Someone at a coffee shop in central Israel noticed a religious Israeli wearing a yarmulka with the flags of Israel and Palestine and called the Police on him. The Police detained him, cut off the Palestine flag from the yarmulka and then released him. https://www.mako.co.il/news-israel/2026_q2/Article-7039dcfc05abd91027.htm?utm_source=AndroidNews12&utm_medium=Share The Israeli Police under Ben Gvir has largely stopped upholding the law (actual crime is out of control) and is functioning as a right-wing repressive organ.
