Tens of thousands of Israeli nationalists marched through the streets of Jerusalem on Wednesday, waving Israeli flags, singing, dancing and banging drums. As part of Jerusalem Day, they marched from the western part of the city and into predominantly Palestinian areas, sometimes chanting religious songs and other times anti-Arab slurs.
Troublemakers! Palestinian shopkeeper Rimon Himo, 69, yelled as Israeli teens surrounded his juice shop in the Old City's Muslim quarter. One boy flipped both his middle fingers at Himo. 'You see this? If they were Arab, they would be arrested immediately, but because they are Jewish, the police do nothing!' Himo said.
