Watch: Man’s Attempt to Burn American and Israeli Flag Fails in Humiliating Fashion

The only thing worse than getting caught on camera being an anti-Semitic wannabe terrorist is getting caught on camera trying to be an anti-Semitic wannabe terrorist and failing.

That’s what happened in Manhattan last month. A man who was trying to burn an American-Israeli flag got caught on camera failing miserably.

According to WPIX-TV, the 🗽New York Police Department is on the hunt for a wannabe vandal accused of attempting to burn an American-Israeli flag across from a Jewish high school. The incident occurred on the afternoon of Feb. 24 in Washington Heights.

The flag was on display outside a building across the street from the Yeshiva University High School for Boys. The man tried to set fire to a flag using an aerosol can — presumably full of flammable liquid — and a lighter.

The would-be terrorist — why else would you burn a flag, but to terrorize Jews and Americans who support 🇮🇱Israel? — was either so stupid that the propellant coming out of the can was not very explosive or he failed to practice lighting it in a breeze.

The man stood on a chair at a table outside the building, aimed the can at the flag and sprayed the propellant, not once, but twice before giving up, climbing onto the table and pulling the flag to the ground.
