Waving Israeli flags and chanting hymns, thousands of Jews gather around the Damascus Gate to prepare for the Flag March.

Several dozen cluster around the journalists’ area, yelling curses at the Palestinian correspondents filming on the scene.

“Mohammad is dead,” a Jewish marcher yells, while calling a journalist for official Palestine TV “a dog.”

Another marcher tries to soothe them before police rush in to push them away.
