“Say Kaddish for Israel! Look what has happened to us,” one man yells at an anti-government protester as cops try to separate the two. “Why disturb us? Fuck off. Look what you’ve come to.”
The protester is surrounded by a phalanx of security officers as others also yell at him while he moves through the crowded parking lot.
