I am still waiting for someone to mention the Israeli Flag hung by Ponovezh on Yom Haatzmaut!
The fact that other similar events happen is not a proof for anything. Yes, they are all heartwarming and nice to see/hear but one cannot derive Halachik Psak from it.
Also, I would think there is a SMALL difference between singing the National Anthem at a 500-1,000 person audience at a private graduation as opposed to singing in front of 100,000 people!
Besides – it was a beautiful event – why are we always looking for the worst and to criticize??
Is life that good that this is all we have to worry about??
