Police violence against Tel Aviv protesters should raise the alarm with Israel‘s authorities

Leef, in a blue shirt, is thrown to the ground. A few meters away, municipal inspectors and Huldai‘s „Green Patrol“ help the police push back the protesters. Every few minutes Leef tries to raise her hands and protect herself from the shoves and kicks, to no avail.

In the background, the crowd repeatedly shouts one word: Democracy. This horrific sight lasted for many minutes, until Leef was forcefully taken to a nearby police vehicle. No one should ever ignore or repress these pictures.
