The events that unfolded on Monday underscore the deep divisions and growing extremism surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. While individuals have the right to express their opinions and participate in peaceful protests, the defacement of memorials and acts of flag desecration are seen as disrespectful and provocative by many observers.

“Protest” ? No. This action is WAY beyond lawful right of protest.
“Treason” ? Yes. It fits the crime quite closely with literally hours of evidence available to any Court of Law prepared to honour its obligations. Why do most of the cowrds always wear identity-concealing masks ? Answer – Because they KNOW they are acting unlawfully and cannot bear the thought of being held accountable for their CRIMES.
So – TREASON – And the penalty for that is ?
