Jerusalem day parade by settlers

Those boys roving in packs like that are disturbing. There don’t seem to be girls or young women.

Another video from the Spanish journalist about how she and her team are treated in Jerusalem by idf and settlers on that day not being allowed to do their job

Also from Haaretz (Israeli newspaper) about the Jerusalem flag-day:

The Brutalization of Israel Is Well Underway. If We Do Not Act, Its Collapse Is Only a Matter of Time

^It is impossible to watch the photographic documentation of the ugly, violent demonstrators during Wednesday's parade of Jewish supremacy through the streets of Jerusalem without hearing Prof. Yeshayahu Leibowitz's warning echoing in the background. "The national pride and euphoria that followed the Six-Day War are temporary and will bring us from proud, rising nationalism to extreme, messianic, ultranationalism. The third stage will be brutality and the final stage will be the end of Zionism," the farsighted philosopher said.*

Sorry, that was from the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

Look how they seem to condone their thugs’ behaviour. They are raising some very unpleasant youths.

Israel Police Detain Palestinian Photographer Who Was Attacked by Jewish Youths During Jerusalem Flag March

Saif Kwasmi was slightly wounded in the head after about 10 Jewish boys attacked him. He continued to work and was later detained by police and his equipment was confiscated after a known right-wing activist contacted them and claimed that Kwasmi was a Hamas operative.

The Palestinian photographer Saif Kwasmi, who was attacked on Wednesday by Jewish youths participating in the flag march in Jerusalem, was detained by police for a few hours later.

Very interesting.

It's so sinister isn't it @Dulra

Predictable Israeli response to someone being attacked, arrested for the pleasure..... Palestinians in the West Bank have no freedom or justice

😑

Yes and it’s forbidden by mumsnet guidelines. And interesting how once again this thread is derailed

I won't be surprised, it would explain a lot. 😬

Thank you@PeasfullPerson

@PeasfullPerson I can believe that. In the video I shared, the Palestinian shop owner said bottles were thrown and the police did nothing to stop it but had he been the one throwing it would have been a different story.

I read in Al Jazeera that some members of Standing Together attended parts of the parade to try and protect people. It’s sad that the police in Israel can’t be trusted to do this.

Oh dear I feel embarrassed for you @keenforhelp You are taking being caught out quite well though and it’s hardly the worst thing anyone has ever done.

I do find the comparisons inappropriate. I have had some scary experiences but at no time would I consider them to be anywhere near on par with somebody in Gaza, the West Bank or Israel’s borders.

There is something very dignified about that man, although as he says if he were to behave like the settlers we all know what would would happen to him.

Enough said from me. Just please don't do it again though. I feel like we all deserve a bit more respect than that.

It does feel everybody is rounding on me - but I can take it.

I deserve it.

And remember it was done to defend myself rather than post links, argue a point, etc.

Because usernames can be changed manually - it means that usernames are being changed on different threads. Perhaps on the same thread - but who is going to admit it?

@Dulra nooo - it's something they try to discourage

It's funny and embarrassing enough. I don't know if we need to make her feel any worse... but yeh, it does raise some questions of credibility and kinda makes me a bit sad that we're not all discussing in good faith here.

I haven't been posting for long (used to years ago) and have learned quite a bit from all sides, and I feel like I'm starting to get to know people... makes me wonder if others are doing it too though 😳

Would it be those people that have the premium feature? I hope not because it would make the whole site a joke if some could name change and others couldn't

At the risk of being boring - that's exactly what the 'upgrade' was intended to do - make it more difficult
