Over 10,000 attend anti-war protest in northern Arab town under heavy police presence
|
[IsraelTimes] Over 10,000 people protest against the war in Gaza in the northern Arab town of Sakhnin, Haaretz reports.
Footage posted to social media shows a heavy police presence, but no arrests are reported. The demonstration comes a day after 24 people were arrested at an anti-war protest in Haifa.
Sakhnin mayor Mazen Ghanaim says in a speech at the protest that, “We and our people in Gaza are one nation. We demand full equality and civil rights, not more war.”
Former lawmaker Mohammad Barakeh, who heads the High Follow-up Committee, an Arab community umbrella organization, says the demonstration is “here to send a clear message against genocide, ethnic cleansing and starvation.”
He assails the police build-up at the protest as seeking to intimidate protesters.
“Why would police deploy so many officers for a normal demonstration?” he asks. “You won’t intimidate us.”
