Military authorities reacted very seriously to the burning of a PA flag by soldiers manning a northern Shomron checkpoint. A platoon commander and a soldier from the Kfir Brigade were court-martialed this week. The platoon commander, a junior officer, was sentenced to twenty days imprisonment and a soldier was confined to base for 28 days.
According to reports, the soldiers confiscated the flag during a car inspection and then set it ablaze.

But the Arab chayos are allowed to burn the Israeli flag with impunity.
Hypocrisy at its worst.
if IDF is not allowed to do it, it’s not hypocrisy, it’s following the law, that the chayos do it demonstrates how bad they are
