The Israeli extreme right, neo-fascist movement LeHava organized a night of violence for this evening in Jerusalem.
They're circulating these instructions:
Dress in white shirts & black pants
Don't bring a phone
"Careful" w/ your weapons when passing in the bus station
Wear a mask even where it isn't needed

LeHava is one of the most recent incarnations of Meir Kahane’s Jewish supremacist movement and is represented in Knesset, thanks to Bibi normalizing them in his quest to remain in power and out of prison, by the Jewish Power Party.
"Reminder that Lehava has a political wing in the Knesset– Itamar Ben Gvir, who our prime minister ensured would be there." Chaim Levinson. https://t.co/vqfr9dHp7m

The Jewish far right on the march in Jerusalem this evening, chanting 'Death to Arabs' and 'The people want Arabs to burn'. Proudly identifying as followers of uktra-racist Meir Kahane, they're now represented in the Knesset by the 'Jewish Power' partyhttps://t.co/KDDGgWv4fO

Noga Tanopolsky, a journalist covering Israeli and Palestinian issues, has been covering the events in Jerusalem in real time on her Twitter feed. She’s in Jerusalem right now. Here’s some of it and since this is tweet heavy, I’m going to put a good chunk below the jump:
“Does ‘Burn their towns’, ‘Death to Arabs,’ represent you?” star reporter @SuleimanMas1 asks young Lehava marcher. “Maybe more like ‘when you leave the towns we’ll move in– like we’re doing in the Old City!’” she tells Maswadeh, who grew up in the Old City pic.twitter.com/TwS5VOUOrX

In the Old City, not far from the Kahanist march on Damascus Gate, an Arab family has been attacked by what look like young yeshiva boys. Jerusalem. pic.twitter.com/j7HUkmv6Yd

National broadcaster @kann_news is calling this “The March of Hate.” Lehava goons throw rocks at police as security forces attempt to keep them from breaking police barriers near Damascus Gate & attacking Palestinian counter demonstrators. pic.twitter.com/YLGffGUl2p

Hundreds of racist extremists attempt to break police barriers, screaming "Burn the Arabs!" (Loose translation.) Police only push them back. Fifty meters away, on other side of barrier, police use shock grenades & skunk water against Palestinian counter demonstrators. https://t.co/tSN2HypTTc
