A state-funded march through Jerusalem's Muslim Quarter drew thousands of Israelis who chanted racist slogans against Arabs, reflecting long-standing tensions. Known as the 'flag march,' this event celebrates Israel's 1967 capture of East Jerusalem, which remains unrecognized internationally. Amid acts of violence against Palestinians, many businesses shut down, and residents felt unsafe. Critics argue the event not only showcases hostility but also undermines the livelihood of the Palestinian community, sending a powerful message of exclusion and ownership by Israeli marchers.
The march, known as the flag march, has been marred by racism and attacks on Palestinians for years, creating a climate of fear and exclusion.
Aviv Tatarsky emphasizes the impact of the march, stating it deprives people of their economic livelihood and sends a clear message of domination over Palestinians.
