Israelis protesting in Tel Aviv against the racist Nation State Law yesterday
THE GIANT weekend demonstration in Tel Aviv against Israel’s “nation state” law should refocus our attention on the struggle for equality within Israel as well as that of those suffering under the country’s military domination in Gaza and the West Bank.
