I was at that protest. It was led by Black Israelis, Black American immigrants to Israel, and Black Jews. The main focus was on solidarity with victims of police brutality in the US but the organizers literally said we can’t ignore the context of being in Israel. They included Palestinians, Ethiopians, Jews of color, and talked about police brutality here. They talked about Iyad Halak and there were signs for him too. 

It’s really frustrating how people act like Israeli citizens are all agents of the government. Do people in other countries agree with everything their government, police, and military do? No. The same is true for Israelis. 

Police brutality and racism has to end - in America, in Israel, everywhere.
