Tens of thousands of Palestinian citizens of Israel led a march through the centre of Tel Aviv last Saturday night protesting against the abhorrent apartheid nation-state law passed last month that turns non-Jewish citizens of the country into second-class citizens, further marginalising some 1.8 million Palestinians with Israeli citizenship and other minorities, and decrees that Jews – domestic and foreign – have exclusive national rights.

The mostly Palestinian protesters may have amounted to the largest assembly ever of Arabs in central Tel Aviv, according to the Israeli journalist Meron Rapoport.

Palestinians from Galilee (in the Northeast of Israel), the Triangle region (in what used to be the Northern part of the 1947-Palestine), Naqab desert (otherwise known as Negev) and other regions of the country were seen among the crowd.
