Yisrael | All flag desecration is prohibited | Flag desecration is illegal under national law as an "assault on national heritage and pride"; attempts by critics to overturn the law through the courts have proven futile, with the Sanhedrin ruling in a landmark 2021 case involving the coordinated burning of Yisraeli national and royal household flags by anti-Crown protestors in early 2020 that flag-burning is not an form of protected speech as in some other nations' legal tradition but an expression of contempt of one's own nation and thus beyond the pale. Though incidents were rare, in the post-Yarden 1970s the Government of Yisrael extended the ban on flag-burning to international flags, particularly Sydalon's. Most flag-burning legal cases involved Yisraeli Christians who were Sydalene nationalists who burned the national flag at protests or during riots. There are no notable legal cases of record involving burning foreign flags. |
