ALBAWABA - A video circulating on social media sparked outrage among human rights and pro-Palestine activists after capturing Israelis throwing objects at Palestinian workers inside a cinema venue in Jerusalem.
According to several Hebrew sources, the Israeli youth were chanting "Death to Arabs" at the Palestinian employees, causing mayhem at the popcorn and beverages sector inside 'City Cinema.' In response, the workers snapped back and defended themselves by throwing objects back at the individuals.
Many pro-Palestine activists condemned the violent interaction on social media, deeming it an act of racism and violence towards a specific group of people.
