Snippet:
The day after Independence Day (Yom Ha’atzma’ut), a religious Israeli man was arrested by the police and then detained for several hours. His “crime”? Having displayed both the Israeli and Palestinian flags on his kippah. After being released and requesting its return, his kippah was given back to him torn, with the Palestinian flag carefully removed by the police.
