sheikh jarah Friday demo 18-12-9

27 Activists arrested during friday's Sheikh Jarah demo

Around 300 protesters participated in yesterday's demo in Sheikh Jarah, marching from Hamashbir Plaza towards the neighborhood.

As early as the initial gathering, the police began to arrest demonstrators, claiming that the event is illegal, and by the end of the demonstration 27 people were detained. None of those detained resisted arrest. Quite a few of them were arrested when they were simply drumming or performing as dressed up clowns.

In spite of our legal team's attempt to have the detainees brought to an immediate hearing to set terms for their release, the police has decided to punish the detainees to the extent permitted by the law. Therefore, they will be brought to the hearing only after the end of Sabbath.

Protest and solidarity Vigil on Saturday evening at 20:00 in front of Hashalom court, Russian Compound.

The activists who were arrested were all Israelis Jewish activists. Opposing your government's apartheid and occupation policies is not "anti-semitic". Israel claims to be a "democracy" but regularly engages in undemocratic behaviour by suppressing non--violent dissent by its own citizens.

נכון מאוד רינת זה מה שהיא אמרה , אבל להגנתן יאמר שאחרי שהן קלטו שמצלמים אותם , ושיש שם מלא יהודים , אחת מהן (זאת שעשתה לא עם היד) אמרה שהיא מתכוונת "רק למתנחלים" .

@engelrat yours is one of the few realistic (and perhaps sane) voices recorded on this page!

@engelrat you can't civilize the wild dog.

@jewliciousness we see that there are those who don't appreciate that you present the reality of the situation. it is offensive to them to be advised to pull their heads out of the sand. we will stay in the front lines - protecting Israel against her enemies.

@mikaellevin dumboline - there is no Palestine. They never owned anything. They stole, and are using u as a shield, may Hashem help you. What a bunch of yotzim u are - u don't even know not only your own history, but world history.

@ocschwar they sure are idiots. they are misinformed, malinformed, and without purpose in their young, pitiful lives! too bad they don't realize that they would be the first ones to be slaughtered, as they are standing smiling like numbnuts in the line of fire of those the terrorists who are hiding behind them, just like they hide behind their own children.

Who has the idiot American accent who is calling us racist? Did no one study history - at all? Even secular version would clarify this.
