Majdal Shams Residents Refuse Netanyahu’s Visit, call him “Fascist, Criminal”

Majdal Shams residents voiced objection to a visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s to the site where a projectile fell in the town of Majdal Shams in occupied Golan Heights.

Hundreds of residents in Majdal Shams tried to prevent Netanyahu from entering the town and called him a fascist and a criminal.

Videos circulated on social media showed the residents of the town making angry chants against Netanyahu and demanding that he leave.

Some of the chants described Netanyahu as a “killer”, while others called on the Israeli PM to get out.

“You’re trash, don’t exploit the disaster at the expense of our martyrs,” some of the town’s local chanted.

Talking during the sit-in staged in the town against the provocative visit, freed prisoner Yasser Khanjar said: “We in Golan, and despite the tragic humanitarian circumstances that we witness, we would not forget our ties, specifically to Palestine.”

Local sources reported skirmishes between residents and the head of the local council in the city over arrangements made to receive Netanyahu and Knesset members in the town.

“We are Syria. We refuse to represent the criminal Israeli authority, and whoever kills in Gaza does so in the Golan and Lebanon, or at least is complicit (in such crimes).”
