‘NY Times’ won’t explain why Palestinians aren’t joining the big anti-Netanyahu demonstrations in Israel
Here’s a revealing video from Jerusalem, at one of the massive demonstrations that are shaking Israel’s far-right wing government. Note the sea of Israeli flags in the background, characteristic of the weeks of protest so far. And then watch what happens when some brave soul unfurls a Palestinian flag, perhaps to test Israel’s “democracy.” His attackers look like a combination of security officials and possibly other bystanders. This is yet another sign of Israeli apartheid.

Neturei Karta visits city of Jenin and its refugee camp & are arrested
A delegation of the Jewish anti-Zionist Neturei Karta visited the occupied West Bank city of Jenin and its refugee camp, On Monday, January 9, 2023
The delegation was received by, Fatah Secretary General Ata Abu Rumeileh, and other local residents.
“We are Palestinian Jews. We want to live under the Palestinian flag, not the Israeli one, in one state, which is the Palestinian state.” A spokesman for the delegation said.
He added, “Hundreds of years ago and before the advent of the occupation, we used to live together in the old town of Jerusalem. There was no mistrust between Jews and Muslims. We used to live happily together, and later the Zionists came and formed pressure to separate us, but we reject that. We want peace and not the racist Israeli law that poses a threat to our lives, Jews and Muslims,” adding, “No matter how time passes. We will continue to adhere to our dream and our common goals. We want Palestine with its capital, Jerusalem, and the Palestinian rule, so that we can live happily.”
In conclusion the spokesmen reaffirmed that, “the existence of the Zionist occupation of Palestine and all its criminal action are in total violation of Jewish law. The Zionist do not represent the Jewish people.”
For his part, Atta Abu Rumaila, welcomed the delegation, praising their positions and their sincere solidarity with Palestine. “They entered the camp raising the Palestinian flag, carrying a message in which they said we are with you against killing, occupation and settlement, and with the Palestinian state.”
“We believe in peace. And they, too, believe in peace and believe in living together in total respect, with every person having their rights and freedoms,” he added.
Present at the meeting was also well known Maher al-Akhras, who was in Israeli administrative detention and released with no charge on November 26, 2020, after 103 days hunger strike.
al-Akhras thanked the delegation for their visit, which carries an important message of peace, in these days when the aggression and threats of the settler government are escalating.
He added, “We praise the positions of the anti-Zionist community, as its sons were residing in Palestine before the Nakba. They were abandoned as we were, and as we became refugees, they became refugees, and they faced the same torment that we suffer from the occupation.”
