So, It Is "Shimom HaTzaddik"

From Gush Shalom:-

Demonstration in Sheikh Jarrah:

Down with the Settler Police - Sheikh Jarrah is Palestine!

In both Silwan and Sheikh Jarrah, the cooperation between the police and other state authorities, on the one hand, and the settlers, on the other hand, is not just political but also ideological. The entire police force, from the minister to the most junior policeman, refers to Sheikh Jarrah as "Shimon Hatzadik" {Shimon the righteous) - the name chosen by the settlers. When a police document mentions the "residents of the neighborhood", the reference will always be to Jews, and never to Palestinians, who are perceived as a nuisance.

Now is the time to protest against this criminal collaboration!

Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan are Palestinian neighborhoods - and their inhabitants have the full right to be protected from police brutality and oppression!
