Mulitple Israeli highways have closed down today as major public protests erupted among the nation’s Arab minority, and police attempts to crack down on them led to major clashes.
Israeli officials reported large numbers of arrests, but exactly how many was unclear, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to “restore calm” with security forces, and protesters blocked traffic with burning tires.
The Israeli Arab protests centered around the killing of a Palestinian teen last week, and the savage beating of his cousin, a US citizen, by police over the weekend. Smaller protests of right-wingers were held in Jerusalem, chanting “racist slogans” and demanding government revenge against the Arabs.
By nightfall the clashes, which began in the southern Negev, had spread across the nation, with clashes reported in the far north, and Israeli police vowing a “zero-tolerance policy” toward the demonstrators, who they dubbed “rioters.”
This racist, western created cancer needs to be removed, and allow its real inhabitants to have a life again. Maybe the US can save billions, and pursue its own interests, not F…ing Israel. Let them go back to Russia, Poland etc.
You are absolutely correct one little item you have not expressed why the Palestinians have to pay for what Hitler did.
The chickens have come home to roost.
Every day is kristalnacht in occupied Palestine, and has been for 64 years. It is impossible to differentiate between the Zionist Israeli government, and people, and the Nazis. They are two peas in a pod.
So it's OK for Netanyahu to pursue revenge killings of the innocent Arabs, but not OK for his right wing jewish supporters? He's upset? Why not set a good example rather than getting upset?
Its what the US tells them.
“Rioters” I thought “terrorist” was the term used in past demonstrations.
