Let’s start from the end. At the end of this year’s Flag Parade, I left the Nablus gate, and I also left a boy who threatened to prevent me from taking pictures during the parade. I turned left and he went out to the main plaza but went close to the fence. Then three more boys who crossed the fence, and jumped into the trail I went.
I was afraid they intend to follow and attack me. It didn’t happen, but that concern was real – and it indicates how political violence permeates in and has become an integral part of the public space in Israel. The arrangement that the shofar is expanding, and not only the police and the army exert violence to silence the opponents of the government, this power is also rolled into the crowd.
