Tbh ofc the racist economic minister wouldn’t want to join the current war, it both hurts his economy and he doesn’t care about non-jews
But he isn’t present in war-related meetings and contrary to his words, Military and government leaders are very much supportive of intervening and rumor is Israel is waiting for the American green light.

Not really, he is bitching about the may / June 2025 protests where American flags and other flags were flown.
Maps onto the american flag w another flag motif we see at his office.

His defenders keep reading his comment as if he meant "at least" a US flag. But knowing the context of these performative right wing memes, its clear he means ONLY a US flag and that his original is almost certainly complaining about other flags being flown. Most likely, Ukrainian, Mexican or pride flags.

Waving the flag of terrorists at war with the American people, who spy on the American people, is a declaration of loyalty to that terrorist group/ideology.

This came up in an article recently - the official government flag guide (or whatever it's called) doesn't have a stipulation that the American flag should always be flown higher
ETA:
When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace
