A few days ago I looked at the Al Jazeera website and it loaded a video with a protesters being hit. It looked quite intense but I could not bookmark the video. This article is about that. 😢
Israeli police are violently suppressing our growing anti-war protests
As dissent over the Iran war spreads to the political center, demonstrators face crackdowns while opposition lawmakers are still nowhere to be seen.
For the past month, I have been gathering with fellow Israeli radical left activists in Tel Aviv’s Habima Square to protest the war with Iran. What began as a demonstration of barely 20 people has steadily grown: By this past Saturday, there were over 1,000 demonstrators, joined by parts of the more centrist anti-government protest movement, with parallel rallies held in dozens of locations across the country.
This expansion of our anti-war protests appears to have unsettled the Israel Police, which has responded with disproportionate and indiscriminate force.

It was a great example of how professional police shouldn't need to gun people down even in dangerous situations, and I need that now.
Anyone have this video, or similar video examples?
