Police to probe flag-up-tush incident at arts confab
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePolice say they have opened an investigation after complaints that artist Ariel Bronz shoved an Israeli flag up his rear end during a performance at a Haaretz cultural conference in Tel Aviv Sunday.
According to reports, at least one complaint was filed by Culture Minister Miri Regev, who had given a speech at the confab minutes before Bronz put on his show.
The police say during the conference “unbecoming things were done with a symbol of the state.”
It is illegal to deface a flag or other symbol of the state. Police are currently investigating another artist for videos in which she defecates on an Israeli flag.
It is unclear if the flag Bronz used to sodomize himself was Israeli, as reported by some news outlets, or a simple white flag, as reported by others.
