The City of Tel Aviv is giving an award for exceptional artistic creativity to some artist who stuck the Israeli flag in his tuches. The prize this artist will receive from this award is 9000nis.

Now, I can be fine with a decision that defacing the flag is not illegal but is a protected freedom of expression. No problem. But the State should fund such a thing? The state should award such a display and consider it great artistic ability and creativity? That's ridiculous. Let this guy go fund his own work.

I wonder if the judges would have declared him a winner had he defaced the flag of Tel Aviv rather than that of the State of Israel.
