'Israel Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai praised the Arab Israeli community for refraining from “incidents” since the start of the war with Hamas amid repeated fearmongering by far-right politicians of Jewish-Arab violence in Israel’s mixed cities of the kind that took place two years ago.'
And a reminder that when the madness of a desire to slaughter descends no one is safe:
'Some 2,500 Hamas terrorists burst through the Gaza border fence into southern Israel on October 7, under the cover of thousands of rockets fired into Israel. They infiltrated border communities, massacring families and taking at least 222 people hostage.
According to reports, the terrorists also killed any Arab Israelis they encountered.
Muhammad Altlak’at, a Bedouin man from the Negev, told Kan’s Arabic service on Sunday that his wife had been killed even though she had been clearly dressed in Muslim garb. (from the embedded tweet - 'Muhammad Altlak’at, a Bedouin man from the Negev, told Kan’s Arabic service on Sunday that his wife had been killed even though she had been clearly dressed in Muslim garb.''
Edited to make clear that the Bedouin had been killed by Hamas in the 7th October attacks

That's an interesting article which chimes with the following extract, from a report on recent polling in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, which I posted on another thread.
"More encouraging still is that the Arab sample for this study (over 500 people, far larger than normal media surveys) showed unambiguous majorities opposed to Hamas’ actions: 77 percent opposed the attack. Eighty-five percent opposed holding civilian hostages, including women and children (as per the question text), and of those few who did not oppose these things, most are not sure – only tiny percentages actually supported them. Two-thirds of these Palestinian citizens believed that Arab political leaders should condemn the attacks, and in fact both United Arab List head Mansour Abbas and Hadash leader Ayman Odeh have done so.
Numerous Arab citizens of Israel have been killed in the attack and ongoing rocket fire in Israel – from a medic and ambulance driver, to Bedouin villagers in communities with no shelter from rocket fire. To date, Israel has not seen a resurgence of Jewish-Arab violence in mixed cities like in 2021." [Post edited 23 Oct 2023 17:39]
