Security camera recordings from Weizmann City Mall in Tel Aviv show a hijab-wearing woman approaching a menorah and extinguishing four Chanukah candles while a man believed to be with her claps in approval. After walking away, she returns moments later to put out the shamash that remained lit, and she appears to document the episode on her cellphone.
Israeli authorities are weighing whether the incident constitutes a criminal offense under Section 170 of the Penal Law, which bars “the destruction, damage, or desecration of a place of worship or any object held sacred by a group of people, with intent to insult their religion, or knowingly that they may regard the act as an insult to their religion.”
Police confirmed that an investigation has been launched into the actions of an Arab individual seen in the footage blowing out the Chanukah candles, with detectives reviewing the video and examining the circumstances surrounding the act.

if an Israeli would do something like that to a Muslim religious article, they would be clapped in jail, and a riot would ensue, as well as the UN would get involved, with Israel offering multiple apologies.
is this the Zionistic dream- to be afraid of your own shadow in your own country!?
Is it mitzvah m’d’oryssa? Is it issur? Require Milkhemet Mitzvah?
Another October 7 opportunity.
Just confusion or a nutcase. Go search for the rest of the Mideast tunnels. That will save livess.
If a Jewish person disrespects a muslim religious article they would be punished.
Of course, I live in Chelm, which holds Jews to a much much much higher standard.
Jews get interrogated and jailed, arabs do what they want.
I forgot to ask
HAVE WE NO JEWISH PRIDE??
No, not really. We have the same inferior complex like the misyavnim had back then.
The security guard looks like an Arab too which is why he let her do it.
