Israel’s defense minister is escalating his incitement against
Palestinian citizens of Israel, following a police attack on a peaceful
protest in the northern city of Haifa.
“Every day that Ayman Odeh and his associates are free to walk around
cursing at police officers is a failure of law enforcement authorities,”
the minister, Avigdor Lieberman, posted on Twitter. “The place for these terrorists is not in the Knesset, it’s in prison. It’s time they pay a price for their actions.”
Odeh is the leader of the Joint List of parties representing Palestinian
citizens in Israel’s parliament, the Knesset. Lieberman’s attack on him
had been prompted by Odeh’s criticism of brutal police actions on
Friday night.
Lieberman has previously called for the beheading of Palestinian citizens of Israel who he accuses of being disloyal to the self-described Jewish state.
Police assault protesters
On Friday evening, Palestinian citizens of Israel gathered in Haifa to protest Israel’s massacres of unarmed civilians in Gaza, but the rally was attacked by Israeli police and more than 20 people were arrested.
“Police officers and special forces arrived to the protest armed and equipped to disrupt the peaceful demonstration,” according to a statement published by Mossawa, a legal advocacy group for Palestinian citizens of Israel.

Mossawa pointed to videos that
it said showed how “police rapidly barged in and charged the crowd,
beating the demonstrators without provocation and making sporadic
arrests.”
In total, according to Mossawa, police arrested 21 people. It said that
many “were brutally beaten by the arresting officers while in custody at
the police station and in interrogation rooms, some while handcuffed.”
Broken leg
Four were hospitalized for serious injuries, including Mossawa’s director Jafar Farah, who suffered a broken legamong other injuries.
The statement published by Mossawa said that Farah had been rushed to
the emergency room with “a broken knee and severe blunt trauma injuries
to the chest and abdomen sustained during a brutal attack on him by
police officers while in custody.”
The human rights group Adalah also posted on Facebook video it said showed “police and security forces attacking unarmed demonstrators in Haifa.”
Adalah immediately filed court petitions for the release of the detainees:
