Palestinians in Jerusalem are reeling from a night of racist, anti-Arab violence that left over a hundred Palestinians wounded and dozens detained, following an ultra-right wing Israeli demonstration in the city.
On Thursday evening hundreds of Israelis marched from the Zion Gate outside the Old City to the Damascus Gate area — the entrance to the Muslim Quarter of the Old City — as part of demonstration organized by the far-right, anti-Palestinian group Lehava.
During the march, which was advertised as a demonstration to “restore Jewish dignity” to the city, crowds of Israelis chanted various anti-Palestinian slogans, including “Death to Arabs” and “may your village burn.”
