Among Palestinians, there are those who point the finger of blame at the police.
Advocate Muhammad Mahmoud, representing four Palestinians arrested on suspicion of assaulting police officers, claimed that the increased police presence during the month of Ramadan did not help calm the winds, accusing East Jerusalem residents of not being allowed to demonstrate similarly to the far-right Lehavah organization. unilateral.
"I don't think they should have been allowed to [demonstrate] in the face of the sensitivity of the issue," said Advocate Mahmoud. "I also do not understand why the police, from the first day of Ramadan, are at the Nablus Gate in large numbers, So why tease people like that in quantities and cavalry and that's from day one.
So there are one or two who throw stones and everyone ate it. "

"And instead of giving no hand in aggravating the situation in this sensitive month, the police are letting things shatter by allowing the extremist faction's group to arrive yesterday ... hope things calm down," he said, accusing the police of being violent towards one side.
He stressed that there is widespread condemnation among Palestinians of cases of violence against the ultra-Orthodox.
"The absolute and overwhelming majority condemns the attacks on the ultra-Orthodox. They are unjustified and there is nothing to justify them. The absolute majority condemns," he clarified, but added: "But that does not mean that they should be allowed to come."

Nir Janowski Dagan, a resident of Kiryat Yuval, was among the left-wing activists rejoicing in Jerusalem against the violence. "We wanted to present a moderate voice that says it is possible to live in Jerusalem together. We stood in the IDF Square, next to the Police Square with signs in Hebrew and Arabic that read 'No to Violence.' Most people treated us with respect and said that they too do not run this violence. "There was a minority who threw cans at us and told us hard things," he said.
"The police did a good job, but they snatched pepper spray from all sides, Israeli and Palestinian," said Janowski Dagan, who testified that he too was attacked with pepper spray. "At some point the policeman asked me to move. So as not to disturb him. Suddenly a young man with a hood and tassels arrived and sprayed me with pepper spray. The feeling was a strong pain all over my face, I could not open both eyes. We continued to pick up the signs and boys continued to quarrel with us, and in the end they tore up our signs. "
He said he needed medical attention after the incident.
"Because of the pain I went to the ambulance, which asked me to evacuate to Hadassah. There I was flushed and anesthetized and my vision returned. Then I went back to demonstrating until the morning, and in the morning I went to the police to file a complaint about assault. It is important to me that this person was caught. But what he did could be very dangerous. "
