Western media is either ignoring what is happening in Jerusalem, downplaying it or wrongly framing it as clashes between both sides which is not only factually wrong bc police kept them apart and then treated each side fundamentally different. The sides are not two equal sides. 1
Western media mostly doesn’t offer context. A dehumanizing political system is encouraging such terrifying behavior. Denying Palestinians in Jerusalem the right to build, house demolitions,settlement expansion - clearly sends a message to its Jewish Israeli citizens. 2
Palestinian Jerusalemites don’t have citizenship - their residency permit can be revoked by Israeli authorities. They don’t have the right to vote for a parliament represents them and their needs. 3
What is happening in Jerusalem is not new. But apparently no one really cares. And apparently it’s considered ok or not important if right wing extremist are chanting „Death to Arabs“. 4
