anti-racism rally, TelAviv – the dark part
05.03.2015. center of TelAviv. the start was very peaceful and hopeful.. i went to work to finish my workday and when i returned back to demonstration, this time to Kikar Rabin – i found that situation changed absolutely to this nightmare.
enjoy the dark part :
Thank you…
i experienced a few times how a peaceful demonstration in the name of democracy and human rights turned to be a senseless brutal beating on both police and demonstrator’s sides. once people feel strong within a large group they go wild … some of them at least. that’s bad but happens everywhere. we just had a few such incidents on the 1st of may (labor day) here in germany almost traditionally make this turn every year, starting with a peaceful march of people fighting from laborer’s rights and finally end with burning trash cans and cars, flying stones and bleeding heads. same as in the u.s. during the recent anti racism marches. but anyway how it turns all of these demonstrations start with a good and important sign of many people standing together against the states brutality against emigrants. we probably have to live with that a few make it to a private violece party.
Fantastic photos. Love the B&W. Really powerful stuff. What did it feel like to be in the midst of all of that?
Thank you very much. In some monents i felt like in hell. But the energy around was so good. The adrenaline that i got this night was so powerful.
Good evening,
beautiful news reporting by taking risks !! great shots
Driving and chatting on smartphone is not less risky but many pol are doing this every day 😉 thank you for taking a look Pat
Very good photos. In Brazil, we have had a lot of police/street violence.
Beautiful photos and very sad days. Always make me feel very stupid for being a human.
We should have lived in paradise, all of us.
Haha ! Indeed ! We will find the hell corner even in Paradise; -))
powerful photo documentaries, Victor!! take care!
Thank you Alexandra !!
Great shots, but pointless violence. I believe that behavior like this probably creates more racism.
Here’s a video from the scenes that someone upload to YouTube.
