Protesters waved Israeli flags as they marched in the mixed Arab-Jewish city of Lod, on Sunday.
Participants said they were there to show support for the experience of the Jewish population last May, during the Israeli military operation against Hamas in Gaza. One protester named Itamar Ben Gvir said, “I came to strengthen the local residents that suffer attacks and live in an insane reality in the heart of the country of Israel.”
Participants also celebrated the final night of the Jewish Hannukah celebration.
The march stuck to the main part of the city and did not go through mixed Jewish and Arab neighbourhoods. No incidents were reported.

SOT, MK Itamar Ben Gvir, Protester, (Hebrew): “I came to strengthen the local residents that suffer attacks and live in an insane reality in the heart of the country of Israel. Jews are attacked because they are Jewish.”

SOT, MK Itamar Ben Gvir, Protester, (Hebrew): “I came as well in order to pass a message to Hamas: we are not afraid of you.You threatened us in Temple Mount (al Aqsa) and In Sheikh Jarrah, it annoys you that there are Jews here, even when we breath it annoys you. We are staying here, it’s our home, it’s our county, if you don’t like it, go away from here.”

SOT, Aharon Tzohar, Protester, (Hebrew): “I came to strengthen the people, to proudly raise the Israeli flag and to say we will stay here. We didn’t come to annoy anyone, we are just saying what is right and natural.”

SOT, Aharon Tzohar, Protester, (Hebrew): “We came to sing Israeli songs, to raise our flag, we are here and we will continue to be here all our lives. Whoever has a problem with this- has a problem himself.”

SOT, Aharon Tzohar, Protester, (Hebrew): “We didn’t wait 2000 years to be told that I can’t raise my flag inside my country. I can’t accept this, this is why I and others came here.”

SOT, MK Simcha Rotman, Protester, (Hebrew): “Whoever thinks that Israeli flags inside the State of Israel is a provocation, I feel bad for them.This discussion shows cowardliness, that has no place all along the year and specificity at the time of Hanukkah, in which we collaborate the victory of the light over darkness.”

SOT, MK Simcha Rotman, Protester, (Hebrew): “I came to strengthen the people, I moved with my family to Lod a few months ago. The people who were here during the May events are still afraid to walk in the streets.”

SOT, MK Simcha Rotman, Protester, (Hebrew): “I think that the flag march, with people from Lod and from outside is strengthening the residents of Lod, Ramle and the other mixed cities.”
