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.

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.
