Joint List chair warns Netanyahu incitement could lead to attacks, calls for Jewish-Arab front

Joint List chairman Youssef Jabareen warned in the Knesset that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's incitement against Arab citizens could lead to serious attacks, and called for building a Jewish-Arab front to topple his government.

Head of the Joint List, Professor Youssef Jabarin, warned in his speech before the Knesset on Wednesday of the danger of the ongoing incitement led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against Arab citizens and their representatives. Jabarin recalled the image of Netanyahu standing on the balcony on the eve of the assassination of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, considering that Netanyahu is still stuck on the balcony of incitement since those days. Jabarin said: 'I heard Netanyahu's latest speech, and in his voice I heard a wounded animal that has lost all controls and brakes, dripping venom and hatred towards our Arab society, Arab voters, and the Joint List.' He warned that this incitement could lead to serious attacks on Arab citizens, pointing to the recent attack on Arab students from Kafr Yasif and the rampage of the Kahane followers in the city of Lod. He called for building an Arab-Jewish front capable of ending Netanyahu's rule.
