WHAT HAPPENED

On 7 October, Al-Nujaba TV (Nujaba — official owned media) criticized Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi through a caption arguing that burning the American flag is not a crime even in the United States. The graphic links that argument to his reported investigation of flag trampling during Sovereignty Day celebrations; IraqiNews had previously reported arrests over flag desecration at the Baghdad celebrations and Nujaba secretary-general Akram al-Kaabi’s filmed act of walking across a US flag.

In a video published to his personal account on X (formerly Twitter), Al-Kaabi appeared walking across a U.S. flag spread on the ground”

    “Al-Zaidi is more Catholic than the Pope… burning the American flag is not a crime even in the United States!”

    الزيدي أكثر كاثوليكية من البابا ..حرق العلم الأمريكي ليس جريمة حتى في الولايات المتحدة!

WHY IT MATTERS

The argument differs from the earlier symbolic act by contesting the justification for investigation rather than simply reproducing the flag desecration.
