David Grossman manhandled at Sheik Jarrah protest

This video from Friday’s Sheikh Jarrah protest in East Jerusalem appears to show (and is said to show) writer David Grossman being assaulted by Israeli police at 2:38. He’s wearing a baseball cap.

Others in the crowd wear hijab. Others are also assaulted.

Note the beautiful moment at 1:03 or so where it looks like Matan Cohen is embracing a young Palestinian who carries an Arabic sign to protect him from the Israeli police officer.

It makes no sense to say that Palestinians rejected Judah Magnes’s idea of a binational state. Of course they did. And that was 70 and 80 years ago.

Dream a different dream of Israel, American Jews.
