Looks to me like the Guardian and others are now trying to backtrack on their support for the Israeli genocide in Gaza …

Thousands of Israelis have joined a state-funded march through the Muslim quarter of the Old City in Jerusalem, where large groups chanted racist slogans including “Gaza is ours”, “death to the Arabs” and “may their villages burn”.

From before midday on Monday small groups of young Israeli men attacked and harassed shopkeepers and passersby inside the city, spitting at women in hijabs, stealing from cafes, ransacking a bookshop and entering at least one home by force.

There was a riot protest in Bern, Switzerland at the weekend. Only stopped by police one street from the synagogue. Windows were broken, shops robbed, police attacked.

Did the actual content of this thread offend you so much that you had to change the topic entirely? Interesting.

Yes OP I saw it on channel 4 news, members of the far right Israeli Government supporting it too. That behaviour is very normal in Israel I suspect because their Government encourages it. It would be like a far right Government getting in here and encouraging the Southport mob in burning hotels etc..
