Protesters outside of the Democratic National Convention last night set an American and Israeli flag on fire on top of what looks like a bonfire of old Bernie Sanders signs.
Their first target was the Israeli flag, which went up in flames to the chant of, “long live intifada!”

But then they wanted to torch an American flag, but they couldn’t find one:
