By Gideon Levy

June 15, 2020 "Information Clearing House" - Did you see the American police officers? Did you see how they choked George Floyd to death in Minneapolis? Did you see Officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on his neck, pinning him down, with Floyd begging for his life until he died five minutes later? What racist police forces they have in America, how brutal. Now Minneapolis is burning after a black citizen was executed because of his skin color. The mayor apologized, the four officers involved were fired, Chauvin was indicted. America is a cruel place for black people and its police are racist.


A few days after Minneapolis, on Saturday morning, in Jerusalem’s Old City, Eyad Hallaq, a 32-year-old autistic man, was on his way to the Elwyn Center for disabled people.

  1. This article reeks of anti-Semitism. It's a sad day when the heroic IDF can't protect themselves against Palestinian terrorists. I mean what they supposed to do? Ask every Palestinian if he has mental illness issues before they shot them? What do you want them to do? Talk to them, c'mon.
