As you can see, the United States is far and away the most burned flag, holding 28% of the top 10 burns…yet just 9% of all burns. What is interesting is that the Hezbollah flag was only put on the site on July 19, but has already accumulated 1360 burns. If prorated out to the length of time that the rest of these countries have been on the site, the Hezbollah flag would have been burned an astonishing 7175 times! Israel, to compare and contrast, fell into 13th place having only 310 burns.
The least burned flag on the site was of the Falkland Islands having only 4 burns during this time period. I suppose they’re too small for anyone to hold a grudge against them?
