the iconic image of David Ben Gurion, Israel's first Prime Minister and a Founding Father, standing on his head at Bograshoc/Frishman Beach in Tel Aviv was burned to a crisp on the first day of Rosh Hashana. Not from being sunburned for being in the sun for too long, but someone lit it aflame. Police are investigating.

Being done on Rosh Hashana I hope the perpetrator at least lit the flame from an existing flame and did not start a "new fire"...

UPDATE: News reports are saying now that the investigation is pointing to a homeless Arab that vandalized the statue of Ben Gurion. So he did not need to light it from an existing flame.
