I've enjoyed being a computer science professor in Melbourne, Australia, as well as band leader/singer for the Schnapps Band.
My high schooling was in Chabad and I continued at Yeshivat Kerem B'Yavneh in Israel and later in life at Machon L'Hora'ah, Yeshivas Halichos Olam.

If you thought the Guy Fawkeseque at Meron where an effigy of MK Yair Lapid was burnt, try the anti-Zionist Satmar Hasdim Lag B’Omer bonfire in London. Trying to burn an Israeli flag atop a bonfire proved too difficult so in their wisdom they just went for burning two large Magan David’s!
Maybe they confused Lag B’Omer with Purim as they seem to be trying to look like a KKK rally… madness.

תג מחיר בלונדון החרדית: על קירות ישיבת תורת חסד בשכונת סטמפורד היל רוסס מגן דוד בגדול במספר מקומות, כנקמה על שריפת מגן דוד השבוע.
כזכור, בסרטון שהופץ ברחבי הרשת נראה קהל גדול מהקהילה שורפים מגן דוד ענק ודגל ישראל, כשברקע הם שרים שירי ל״ג בעומר לכבוד הרשב״י.
השבועון היהודי החינמי הגדול בבריטניה, ה’ג׳ואיש ניוז’, אף כתב על כך בעמוד הראשי עם כותרת בולטת אדומה.

I’m not comfortable with price tags. I’d rather see an economic boycott of their services and Kashrus etc. money they understand
