Far-Right Israeli Nationalists Attack Palestinian Journalists in East Jerusalem on Naksa Day
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In occupied East Jerusalem, mobs of far-right Israelis attacked
Palestinians and several journalists, including Saif Al-Qawasmi, on
Wednesday during the Jerusalem Day Flag March to mark the anniversary of
Israel's seizing of East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza in 1967. In
Palestine, June 5 is known as the Naksa, meaning "setback." During
Wednesday's march Israelis were heard chanting "Death to Arabs" and "May
your village burn." Police reported making 18 arrests.
