Far-Right Israelis Chant Racist Slogans at Jerusalem Day March
Tensions escalated at the annual Jerusalem Day parade through the Old City as ultranationalist participants shouted racist slogans including 'Death to Arabs' and 'May your village burn,' prompting many Palestinian residents to shutter their stores and stay indoors. The parade, which Israel says celebrates the unification of Jerusalem, has frequently sparked violence over the years and this year coincided with Israel's war with Iran and a fragile Gaza ceasefire.
