The extremists wanted to march from Prague-Letna to Badeni street where Israeli Embassy is seated under various pretexts. The City Hall banned another extremist march along the same route previously. "Though the announced purposes [of the marches] were different, they are actually aimed at incitement of hatred and intolerance towards citizens on the grounds of ethnicity, origin and religious conviction," Wolf said. Moreover, another meeting, organised by the Prague Jewish Community, is to be held in Badeni street simultaneously. The extremists announced they would stage marches against what they call "Jewish chauvinism," suppression of Palestinians' rights by Israel and in memory of the fallen, as well as against the arbitrary prohibition of meetings staged by opponents to the City Hall clerks.
