Jerusalem Driver Refuses to Run Over Israeli Flag in Act of National Loyalty

The Jerusalem Post·8 May 2026

A Jerusalem bus or taxi driver refused to drive over an Israeli flag lying in the road, choosing to stop rather than desecrate the national symbol — an act that struck an observer as emblematic of deep loyalty to Israel's identity and public duty. This small but striking moment reflects the enduring, covenant-rooted bond the Jewish people hold with their land and national identity, even amid everyday chaos. Scripture affirms God's faithfulness to preserve a remnant with heart-level devotion to the land He promised them (Ezekiel 36:24–28).
