    A woman wearing a black bandanna on her face lit the flag on fire Tuesday night as protests continued outside of the secure zone around the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Someone stood nearby waving a Palestinian flag.

    Protesters also set pro-Bernie Sanders fliers on fire that were hanging on steel fencing around the site.

    Separate groups of Sanders supporters, protesters marching against police brutality and others have joined together in the streets outside of the convention.

    Inspired by our own Neturei Karta crazies. If they burn the flag, how can you blame someone else. Both anti-Semites and crazies.

    Some of the new voices joining the Democratic Party.

    Horrible. Both the far right and the left hate us all. Too bad there are so many in the frum community who take joy from this flag burning. Oy.

    I’m no longer surprised by the proudly ignorant Trumpots in the Heimishe community – yes, a third- rate yeshivishe “education” has its consequences – but even so, comments 1 and 3 are bteathtaking in their sheer idiocy. The fact is, presidential conventions have a long history of drawing protests both large and small on a whole array of issues. Those flag burners had about as much to do with the convention as you or I. Does it hurt your heads to be so dumb?

    Just behind the liberals there’s a line of anti semites and jew haters waiting for an opportunity to destroy israel and jews .Bernie is just another self hating jew who has gentile children and who looks to destroy israel and there are lots of others like him in the democratic party Remember how jews marched hand in hand with the oppressed blacks in the marches in the south.Today these same blacks are in love with the arab jew haters.

    How any Jew can ever vote Democrats again is beyond my understanding. The Democrat Party stand against everything we Jews stand for.

    Why would anyone think these few flag burners have any connection to the Democrats or the convention. When the hand full of Neturei Karta do the same at the Israel Day parade does it reflect badly on the parade organizers. Conventions draw the crazys. Outside the GOP convention there were 100 naked people in the adjacent plaza, probably not part of the convention.

    Jews have to remember to these people a JEW is still a JEW if you are for them or against them you are still a JEW, blending does not work.

    The so-called Democratic party, no longer reflects the values of Yidden, as it once did. It has been hijacked. There will not be one word uttered this week at the Philadelphia convention, regarding terrorism, ISIS, or support of Eretz Yisrael. On the contrary, it was the opposite at the Republican convention in Cleveland. This November 8th, the election will be very close. However, to quote F.D.R., “With the unbounded determination of our people, we shall gain the inevitable triumph, so help us G-d”. On January 20, 2017, our 45th President, Donald J. Trump will be sworn into office. The election is exactly 104 days from today. Yidden, do the right thing and vote against Hillary, and for Trump. We don’t need a third term of Obama. In fact, Hillary stated that she would rely on Obama for advice, as well as advice from her husband, a disgraced impeached President.
