Hundreds of residents of South Mount Hebron, Kiryat Arba – Hebron and Gush Etzion, who were driving to Jerusalem on Monday morning, spotted to their utter surprise a swastika flag perched up on the outskirts of the Arab settlement of Beit Ummar. The flag had been up there since the early morning hours. Residents reported the offensive flag to the IDF, but as of 11:15 AM Israel time, the flag is still up there.
“I felt like we’ve gone back to 75 years ago, and we’re losing our grip on this area,” said Uri Arnon, a resident of Kiryat Arba, adding: “The Arabs are no longer afraid to show their murderous aspirations, and they’re declare openly that they want to annihilate us.”
