American companies must sign a document signifying they will not boycott Israel if the company wants to get government contracts, it was illegal to burn the Israeli flag in the US before it was illegal to burn the US flag, 99% of congress votes in favor of Israel (as evidenced by Thomas Massie’s recent primary Israel will spend $$$ to buy a US politicians seat if they do not support Israel).

solarhoma sez "it was illegal to burn the Israeli flag in the US before it was illegal to burn the US flag,"

It is legal to burn the USA flag in the USA.

Ok. Then my point stands even more firmly that you are able to burn the flag of the country you reside in yet cannot burn the flag of a foreign nation.
Nope. For the most part in the USA you can burn any flag provided you aren't violating some property law or safety statute by doing so.
Massie going against Trump is why he lost. Plenty of republican politicians are against Israel.
The money to oust Massie came almost exclusively from pro-Israel groups. Who then celebrated their ability to control US elections.
