This year, yet again, the extreme right-wing will celebrate the day in whichJerusalem was unified through a march of flags along the streets of theMuslim Quarter in the Old City. Business owners will be required to closetheir shops and Palestinian residents will be asked to shut themselves up intheir homes – while Lahava thugs march freely through the streets shoutingMuhammad is dead, under the cover of the march.
And this year, too, the Jerusalem Municipality and the Ministry of Culturehave invested millions of shekels in the march. Growing poverty and piles ofgarbage filling the streets are of no interest to them, but transferring 25million NIS to the march that could have gone to education, housing, andtransportation? They have no problem with that.
As madness rages through the streets, hallways of the municipality, andgovernment offices, we speak a simple truth: Jerusalem is not a united cityand will not be liberated until all its residents are free. On Jerusalem Daywe will demonstrate on the Green Line, for freedom, justice, and equalityfor all the city`s residents – offering a sane alternative to extreme right-wing groups.
