Residents of the Israeli Arab town of Umm al Fahm vowed to stop Baruch Marzel’s Jewish National Front from marching in that Israeli town with Israeli flags: the sight of the flags is too much for our “loyal” Arab citizens.
The Arab mob shouted slogans accusing Baruch of terrorism (we thought it was the Arab occupation) and promising to bury him on arrival (which, evidently, is not terrorism). The town’s mayor and Arab MKs, all of them on the Israeli payroll, led the mob.
Despite the court orders, police can still cancel the march on public security grounds. Major clashes are unlikely due to the number of police involved, but the Arabs can still block the march.
To somewhat pacify the Arabs, the government approved today hundreds of illegal housing units they have built on public land. Similar approval for Jewish houses in Smaller Israel is unimaginable: they are razed immediately if built without permits.
