A chareidi man arrested on the eve of Memorial Day for allegedly setting fire to an Israeli flag at Kikar Shabbos has been indicted. The man in his 20s allegedly set the flag ablaze while the Memorial Day siren sounded.
According to authorities, about 150 people took part in a protest, with the prosecution explaining when the siren sounded on Sunday night marking the start of Memorial Day, the participants began clapping their hands and the suspect lit a flag on fire. A number of garbage receptacles were set ablaze as well.
The suspect faces charges of rioting and defacing the national flag.

Why would someone do something like this?
If guilty as charged, indictment is the proper action.
These people should not be allowed to live in Israel. They are probably not paying taxes or contributing anything to the country. Who needs them.
Are these people by any chance part of Neturay Karta?
