Correction: Starting at 0:53, the translation is not 100% accurate. The subtitles should read: "We just wanted to send a message to the occupation that we will not allow them to take over the Al Aqsa Mosque, Jerusalem, or the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, while continuing to break international laws with their criminal acts in Jerusalem, and the West Bank, establishing settlements and stealing land, continuing the siege against the Gaza Strip, and continuing policies of segregation and racial discrimination against the Palestinians living inside 1948 territory [Israel]." VICE News regrets the error.
