A video on social media shows Black Flag protest group leader Amir Haskel making a racially charged remark to an Ethiopian policewoman while arguing with officers in Jerusalem.
“I brought your parents here,” the former general says to the young woman, as police move him away. “Aren’t you ashamed?”

The group says activists are gathering at over 1,000 points around the country to protest against the government and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Police are gearing up as well after clashing with protesters in Tel Aviv on Saturday night.
Protesters are not allowed to travel more than a kilometer from home, and so activists have changed tactics to many small protests rather than one large one.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
