‘Belongs to a Jew’: Jewish shop owners in Old City put up signs urging ultranationalist marchers not to damage their property

Jewish shop owners in Jerusalem’s Old City have posted signs meant to protect their property from being vandalized by participants in the ultranationalist Flag March set to kick off this afternoon.

A cardboard sign placed over an ATM reads, “Belongs to a Jew. Do not damage. Thank you.”

The march will see tens of thousands of right-wing Israelis parade through the Old City’s Muslim Quarter. Participants are known to behave violently toward Palestinian shopkeepers, as well as reporters and left-wing activists, in the lead-up to and during the march.

Extremist youth who came to the Old City before the official march have already been seen damaging property and harassing others in the area. In one clip, a group is seen singing the anti-Arab refrain, “May your village burn.”

As marchers gather outside the Old City, participants wave Israeli flags, as well as flags depicting the ancient Jewish Temple.

Some young men pass out stickers calling for Jewish settlement in Gaza.
