At Anti-KKK rally in Dayton, Counter Protesters Shred and Stomp on Israeli Flag

Yes, you read that correctly.

"Sara and Gus Stathes, owners of The Barrel House, put the message “Jewish Owned” on the signboard in front of their bar, a few blocks east of the counterprotest area on Third Street.

When Stathes learned of the rally, she decided to hold a fundraiser; The Barrel House donated a dollar per pint sold on May 25 to the National Conference for Community and Justice of Greater Dayton. After she posted the fundraiser on Facebook, two local businesses each matched the dollar per pint.

That afternoon, someone posted a series of photos on her Facebook site showing people in the counterprotest area first attempting to burn an Israeli flag, then tearing it and stomping on it.

According to Stephanie Hausner, deputy director of the Israel Action Network of Jewish Federations of North America, Students for Justice in Palestine equates Zionists and the KKK as fascists."

On reading it was not the KKK that burned the Israeli flag, but people protesting the KKK who burned the Israeli flag.

So, great. The fringe elements of both the left and right are antisemitic.

I've been saying that for a while now.
