In the Mea Shearim neighborhood of Jerusalem, where residents are known for their fierce anti-Zionist stance, Palestinian flags frequently fly from rooftops and hang over the streets. The residents refuse to recognize the authority of the State of Israel and make it clear that Israeli police are unwelcome in their community. However, the state appears to feel threatened by the presence of these flags. Periodically, police officers march into the neighborhood’s narrow streets and alleys to remove them.
Here is a description of the latest incident, which occurred on Sunday, July 9, 2023, captured in the accompanying video:
- Local residents watch as a group of Israeli police arrive to remove the flags, equipped with a tree pruner on a pole.
The residents protest the police action. - Police attack and shove the protesting residents.
- Officers stand guard to prevent residents from obstructing their removal of the flags.
- Protesters attempt to run up the stairs to protect the flag.
- A scuffle breaks out on the staircase.
- A policeman kicks a child, throwing him down one flight of stairs.
- A religious Jew searches for his yarmulke (religious head covering).
- Police threaten residents with truncheons.
- Water is poured on the police from above.
- Police dodge objects thrown at them.
- Police brutally attack a resident who begins filming their activities.
- Objects are thrown at the police.
- Residents taunt the police by escorting them while waving Palestinian flags.
- A dumpster is rolled toward the police.
- Residents shout at the officers, calling them “Zionist terrorists.”
It is important to note that, yes, the Zionist intimidations are very strong and challenging. However, the anti-Zionist communities continue to stand firm, and with the Almighty’s help, they will remain steadfast. Soon, the world will witness a totally free Palestine, and peace will prevail, as it once did before the rise of the self-serving and harmful movement of Zionism.
