I don't think it's illegal...but it's certainly disrespectful, and arrogant.
You shouldn't burn anybody's flags. I mean, the country didn't do anything to you..so why disrespect it?
"Do to others as you would want done to you."
Remember that.
And think of yourself as a flag...why burn "someone else" if you wouldn't want "yourself" burnt?
(I.E. the flag)

It's disrespectful and only used to protest the actions of that country or it's leaders. The same reason why you burn your own flag.

No. It's protected free speech, just like burning the US flag.
Israel's flag sure makes pretty colors...

There is no law that specificallly addresses that thats why people continue to do it. Which flag are you thinking of burning?

You might have to call the fire department and get a burn permit if you live in city limits.

Not illegal, but most flags are fire resistant now.

I don't think it's illegal, but people do it out of hatred.
