Rights Group Says Jerusalem Police Target Palestinian Residents | AFP reports that according to Israeli human rights group the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, Palestinian residents in East Jerusalem “do not view the Jerusalem District Police as a body meant to serve and protect them.” The report adds, “Rather, in their eyes, it is a hostile, alien force whose power is chiefly used against them, ignoring their basic needs and security and instead favouring the interests of Jerusalem’s Jewish population.”
