Tens of thousands of mostly young, right-wing Israelis marched through occupied East Jerusalem’s Old City on Wednesday, brandishing Israeli flags and anti-Palestinian slogans at the people living in the Muslim Quarter.
The Old City was braced for the violence it has sadly become accustomed to during past marches, when marchers have physically attacked people, including Palestinian market-goers and journalists, in an attempt to enforce what they perceive as Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Palestinian territory.
