Sheikh Jarrah is a neighborhood in Jerusalem on the road to the Hebrew University campus on Mount Scopus. Recently Jews moves into the predominantly Arab neighborhood. The move triggered protests from the Israeli activists, who complain that while “Jews can move west into the territories, Arabs can’t move back east to the Palestine”. This is an amusing video. What you see is mostly Jewish, some observant protesters with a big American component demonstrating against Jews moving into the Sheikh Jarrah. At the 3:15 mark Arab women observe the Israelis being arrested by the Israeli police. Unfortunately the women go a bit off script and start chanting about the “Jewish dogs”, they are quickly shashed by the numerous media.

בא נזכור שבית המשפט העליון הכריע שמדובר על בית יהודי, שהערבים התשלטו עליו שלא כחוק
Arik, that’s the point the demonstrators are making. Why Arabs can’t claim their houses in Haifa or Moshava Germanit, etc.
