NOVANEWS By Stephen Lendman Global Research VISIT MY NEW WEB SITE: stephenlendman.org (Home – Stephen Lendman). Contact at lendmanstephen@sbcglobal.net.

According to Zionist newspaper Haaretz, Nazi police claimed that the event was refused due to their inability to provide police presence necessary for a march expected to be attended by 25,000 Palestinian citizens of 'Israel' and their supporters, saying that “it’s unfortunate that the organizers decided to conduct the march exactly on the day of Independence Day, when there are hundreds of approved events throughout the country.” The march, which has been held for 18 consecutive years, is aimed at highlighting the internationally-recognized right ...
