The reality for Palestinians in Jerusalem: We can't protest for Gaza or hang a flag'

Three Israeli police checkpoints frame the entrance to Damascus Gate, through which most Palestinians access the Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City. They enter and leave through the impressive gate of the Ottoman era, apparently oblivious to the presence of the Israelis. Since October 2023, I practically never go to Damascus Gate. I use other entry points. I feel better if I don't see the police stationed there, marking the territory, making us feel so unsafe and vulnerable.
