    You’d have a point except this march takes place every year and every year there’s an outbreak of violence around the temple mount. Also there are Israeli Arabs (born and raised in Israel ) who funnily enough are Israeli citizens and have fuck all to do with Iran.

      Yeah because Arabs have never chanted “death to Israel” or Hamas had the first charter of their government as the destruction of Israel…

      Wtf does Arabs living in Israel have to do with anything? Also there are very few Arabs with citizenship, almost all are 2nd class with limited to no to rights.

      Note: being critical of the Arabs in no way excuses Israel’s current and ongoing Genocide of Palestinians…

        You don’t think the idea that the Israeli nationalists are Marching around chanting death to an ethnic minority of their Nation is relevant or concerning? That seems extremely important to me. I think it’s extremely important to anyone who studied the rise of fascism in multiple democracies throughout the world.

          Something being important, and something being relevant to the point being discussed can be different.

            The point being discussed is that they are Marching around shouting death to this ethnic minority. That’s the topic we’re talking about. So yeah the thing that’s happening that this article is reporting on is relevant to the discussion on the article. That’s how this whole thing works.

            Why are you so surprised if someone chanted that in response to these chants? People will obviously blame the oppressor in this situation. What’s so confusing?

              That is extremely disingenuous, there is no “response” both sides have been chanting for each other’s death for fifty years plus.
