It is called union down. Second. The keyword is "adopted." Third. USA Code title 4, chapter 1, 8 clearly states that the USA flag may be flown union down as a form to signal and convey distress. Fourth. Spence v. Washington (1974) established that any personal own flag may be used as the owner wishes. SCOTUS decided the First Amendment protects people who partake in burning, wrongly displaying, and doing anything with the USA flag as long as you own it. As a matter of fact, I also flew the USA flag union down during and a few days later after Jan 6th, 2021. Heck, my flags are also black and white, which represent the resistance against injustices. Fifth. It is not illegal to fly the flag how the owner wishes. Sixth. If this is such an issue, why do military personnel wear the USA flag reversed on military uniforms? Get your head out of your az.. Comdenming someone for something that is not illegal, yet because a group of people are hysterically... less

These groups use the upside down flag as a symbol of their solidarity. The fact that either he or his wife would then display the flag in such a manner while he presides over cases involving the same groups for this incident is a major concern. You can't put your fingers on the scales of justice and then say you're impartial.

Born #otd 1936, was a stage announcer at Woodstock (What I have in mind is breakfast in bed for 400,000 and Don't eat the brown acid!), clown, stand up comedian and more! Was lucky enough to get his book signed by him in the early 90s. (Gawd has it been THAT long ago?) less

The UN voted for a Palestinian bid to become a member of the UN. 143 countries voted Yes. 9 countries voted Nay, USA included, 25 countries didn't vote. Now, this vote doesn't mean anything, knowing that the UN has voted time and time again for acceptance of the Palestine state since September 1974, and 50 years later nothing has changed. Some people say the pen is stronger than the sword. Maybe, but the pen is a lot slower and has more prejudices. less

People are able, to a certain degree, to decipher fact from fiction. The problem is that people DO NOT care. See, if it is not happening to them, they will not sympathize. Shoot, people see the bills and Acts that are been pushed in relation to Israel's "right to defend itself," yet trump and immigrants rule the airways. Again, people don't care. I read this somewhere.
The 1st Amendment of the USA's Constitution doesn't say, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances," Except In Respect To Israel. less
Most Americans had no idea what was the truth about the Palestinian Conflict until recently. The mainstream media fed us propaganda bullshit for years.

The reason Hind was misidentified as a woman was intentional. By saying she was a woman the reaction from their audience would be less visceral than saying this happened to a six year old child. CNN can't even carry a story on what's happening in Gaza without first getting approval from its branch in Tel Aviv.
