For over 600 days, the Israeli flag flew over #BroomeCounty Jail — a violation of #NewYork state law. #VeteransForPeace stepped in, threatening legal action, and within six days, Sheriff Fred Akshar took it down.
The flag’s presence was a symbol of support for #Israel’s ongoing assault on #Gaza and part of Akshar’s broader pattern of aligning with Trump-era, anti-immigrant policies. Now the Sheriff owes an apology for using county property to push a political agenda.
