Remember hearing about the pogroms in Czarist Russia or other parts of Eastern Europe in the last century? Continuing the tradition, Jerusalem’s rightwing, wrong, Israelis held one of their own yesterday in the local Arab neighbourhoods…. escorted and protected by the local police….
Jerusalem Day’s racist march, escorted by police
Thousands of rightwing Israelis marched today in Jerusalem’s Arab neighborhoods, provoked local Palestinian residents and shouted racist remarks, among them “let your village burn,” “death to Mohammad” and “death to all leftists”. The event, part of the “Jerusalem Day” celebration, was organized and promoted by the municipality. Jerusalem’s police escorted the parade, and made no attempt to stop the racist calls.

In photos: right-wing extremist Jerusalem Day march in Sheikh Jarrah
Silwan, Jerusalem- Israeli extremists staged a racist march in honor of Jerusalem Day today, from the Palestinian neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah.
The streets of East Jerusalem stood empty, save for the thousands of Israeli marchers, supported by Israeli troops, who chanted slogans against Arabs, Muslims and Christians. Phrases such as “death to Arabs” rung out. Right-wing extremists attacked a group of left-wing Israeli counter-protesters before Israeli police eyes, who did nothing to impede the assault. Three left-wing Israelis and one American protester were arrested by police. The American citizen remains in police custody.

If someone is trying to study how the so called “terrorism” grows,the ways of cultivating its soil with bulldozers which destruct the homes of innocent citizens of their own country ,the ways of irrigating terrorism with the blood of protesters whether on land or on a flotilla of human aids ,the methods of deepening the feeling of being oppressed with such marches of this stiff headed extremists ,and then the overwhelming need of revenge to make a balance of humanity presence .So , you respected readers ,please remember to be just whenever some reaction happens from those who are ,every day losing the land ,the property , and the human dignity .Unfortunately ,some Israelis who do not agree with the gangs of settlers ,could be harmed , but make no mistake the Zionist have in many cases intended to make bloodshed among their Jewish community , just to persuade the world that there is TERRORISM which ought to be universally attacked. —
