Six arrested at small anti-war protest in Haifa

[IsraelTimes] Police arrest six demonstrators at a small Haifa anti-war protest tonight.

In a statement, police allege protesters disturbed the peace by waving signs and chanting slogans "condemning Israel and its actions in the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

and was forcibly dispersed by cops within a few minutes after it started.

Itay Gavish, who attended the protest this evening, tells The Times of Israel that police explicitly told him not to hold signs with the phrases "genocide," "massacre," or "ethnic cleansing."

Earlier this week, law enforcement sought to forbid protesters from waving hostage posters, pictures of Gazan children and certain slogans referring to “genocide” and “ethnic cleansing” as a condition for their approval of a Tel Aviv anti-war demonstration this Thursday.

They soon backtracked on their demands, but cops on the ground regularly confiscate what they deem “incendiary” signs at anti-war demonstrations.
