Israeli extremists shout ‘death to Arabs’ outside Israeli-Palestinian ceremony
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDozens of extreme right-wing protesters demonstrate outside an Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Day service in Tel Aviv.
Protesters burn a Palestinian flag, hurl insults at attendees, and briefly chant “death to Arabs.”
The demonstration was organized by the Otzma Yehudit party. Among its speakers are activists Benzi Gopstein and Itamar Ben-Gvir.
The ceremony, put on by Israeli and Palestinian families who lost loved ones in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, was able to go ahead on Tuesday when the High Court of Justice overturned Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman’s decision not to allow some 110 Palestinian participants to enter Israel from the West Bank in order to take part in the ceremony.
