the second group in the march was the Anarcho-feminist block. the sign on the right reads "freedom, without walls without borders". the sign on the left reads "murderers in uniforms". chants over here were more to the point and less trying to appeal the lowest common denominator. |
chants- "i don't shot i don't give birth, therefore i'm a traitor to the state" "you don't build democracy on racist laws" " the IDF is a terrorist organization- stop the blocked".
