"As Haaretz reported, Israeli youths marched through the Muslim Quarter chanting “Death to Arabs”, “Flatten Gaza” and “There’s no school in Gaza, there’s no children left”. Flagpoles were slammed against ancient doors, while marchers cursed the Prophet Muhammad and mocked the memory of Palestine.

Not a single person was arrested for incitement.

On Jerusalem Day, the law of incitement is effectively suspended. Hate becomes state-sanctioned. The slogans screamed are not cries against Hamas, but declarations of war on Arabs, on Muslims - on the very soul of the city."
