Noteworthy , Palestinian citizens in Jerusalem are not allowed to defend themselves in case they were attacked by Israeli Colonists, in case he/she defended themselves they will be considered “violent” and “terrorist” and get arrested on that base. Many Palestinians were killed or received a life sentence after trying to defend themselves against colonists’ assaults.
