Lawyer Is Charged With Burning Israeli Flag at Columbia Protest

Per uscourts.gov
The Court has recognized that the First Amendment protects certain forms of symbolic speech. Flag burning is such a form of symbolic speech. When a flag is privately owned, the owner should be able to burn it if the owner chooses, especially if this action is meant in the form of protest.

EDIT: The man in question

Imagine if someone could be charged for burning a French flag. That's how ridiculous this sounds.

Israel should not have this level of influence in America. I'm sick of this bullshyt.
