Once again: the anti occupation bloc at the Tel Aviv anti government protest, for the 33rd week running. Some demonstrators painted a red Star of David on their cheeks, in protest against police officers who branded a Palestinian detainee this way

Now in Tel Aviv: a massive refuser banner outside the army’s central command: “we won’t kill and we won’t be killed in the service of settlements”. The anti-occupation bloc passes under it on its way to the mainstream “pro democracy” protest
Thursday: settlers attack a Palestinian village, wounding 6, burning tents. Israeli police, army present did nothing.
Friday: Palestinians and Israelis in aim Saffa protest settler and army violence, and are met with tear gas, rubber coated bullets.

The anti occupation bloc joins the Day of Disruption in Tel Aviv, blocking parts of the city in a struggle against the government. The bloc reminds the rest of the demonstrators that “there is no democracy with occupation”
הערב: הגוש נגד הכיבוש בתל אביב צעד דרך כל ההפגנה המרכזית בקפלן, עם דגלי פלסטין, באנר ענק נגד טרור מתנחלים, וסיסמאות בעד סירוב, בסולידריות עם תושבי ג׳נין ומשפחתו של איאד אל-חלאק, והתזכורת של ״אין דמוקרטיה עם כיבוש״
Tonight: hundreds of demonstrators at the Tel Aviv anti occupation bloc marched through the tens of thousands at the mainstream “pro democracy” protest, carrying Palestinian flags, chanting for draft refusal, and reminding their surroundings that “there is no such thing as democracy with occupation”
ומה אנחנו יכולות ויכולים לעשות? לסרב, כמובן. לקרוא לאחרים לסרב, ומחר (שלישי) בערב לצאת להפגין ולצעוק די
Tonight: about 1,000 protestors against the war on Gaza and against apartheid marched in Tel Aviv, demanding justice and equality for all. The protest merged into the mainstream anti government protest, which was smaller than usual due to organizers canceling it for fear of rocket fire. Still, a few thousand mainstream demonstrators also showed up, alongside the radical bloc
Hundreds of Palestinians, supported by dozens of Israelis and internationals, are marching here today with the demand to open #ShuhadaStreet and end all apartheid. The army is already preparing to oppress the protestors.
At a time when Israeli society is torn apart by an unprecedented attack by the government on the judiciary, allegedly in the name of minorities, and an unprecedented movement of resistance fighting “for democracy” - all continue to endorse apartheid in Hebron and elsewhere
