In short:

Alan Yazbek pleaded guilty in court on Thursday to the charge of displaying a Nazi symbol.

He was seen at a large rally holding a placard which took the Israeli flag, but replaced the Star of David with a blue swastika.

What's next?

Yazbek's wife and business partner confirmed her husband is no longer involved in the management of their well-known restaurant business.

One has to wonder, did the writers of this law want:

b. punish people protesting against fascists

The symbol referred to was displayed like so: A man in a protest crowd holding up a hand-painted placard in the style of an Israeli flag with a swastika replacing the star of david, and the words "STOP NAZI ISRAEL"
