✡️❌🇮🇱 — Israel's national of security minister, Ben Gvir, called the cops after spotting a Palestinian flag in the neighborhood of the Neturei Karta orthodox jews in Bet Shemesh.

➡️They then gathered around him and yelled at him "murderer, Zionist" and other things condemning his actions.

➡️Neturei Karta Jews are aligned with the Old Yishuv idealogy, which refers to the jews who lived in Palestine prior to the zionist project, believing the jews shouldn't have their own state until the arrival of the Messiah, similar idealogy to the first anti-zionist jew assassinated by the Hagana, Jacob Israel De Haan.

This corridor comes alongside 4 other corridors, the "Melfasim" Corridor (North), the "Netzarim" Corridor (Central), the "Morag" (South, seperating Khan Yunis from Rafah), and the "Philadelphi" Corridor (South, separating Egypt from Gaza).
