Israeli nationalists chant ‘death to Arabs’ in violent Jerusalem Day march

Members of radical Jewish groups scuffle with Palestinian residents, with both sides throwing chairs until being separated by police

Israeli nationalists chanted death to the Arabs", may your villages burn" and Gaza is a graveyard" in a state-sponsored march through Jerusalem to mark the anniversary of the city's capture and annexation.

The annual assertion of Jewish control over Palestinian East Jerusalem has grown more extreme in recent years, and Thursday's event culminated with the national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, unfurling an Israeli flag in front of the al-Aqsa mosque, the holiest Islamic site in the city.
