Haifa activists vow to continue protests following 'brutal' police crackdown

Israel/Palestine Jaclynn Ashly on May 24, 2018

 Protests have taken ahold of Haifa over the last few days as Palestinian citizens of Israel demonstrate against the actions of the Israeli military in Gaza. They were met by police who rights groups say used excessive force, including breaking the knee of one protester. "The first reaction of the police to stop the demonstration was to use violence," Bashar Ali, 22, told Mondoweiss. "We can't be surprised by this when at the same time Israeli soldiers are using deadly weapons on nonviolent demonstrations near Israel's separation fence in Gaza."
