Jerusalem – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke out on Thursday morning against discrimination of Israeli-Arabs, saying there was no place for the phenomenon in Israeli society.

“We should not discriminate against an entire public because of a small minority that is violent and noisy,” he said.
“The vast majority of Israeli-Arab citizens are law-abiding and we are acting resolutely against those who break the law,” he added.
The prime minister’s comments come two days after a deadly terror attack in Jerusalem that killed five and in the aftermath of which tensions seemed to be rising between Jews and Arabs in the country.
On Wednesday, Ashkelon Mayor Itamar Shimoni said he would stop the city’s employment of Arab workers doing renovation to bomb shelters in local daycare centers.
Shimoni said that in the locations where construction on bomb shelters is being performed by Arab laborers, the work is to be stopped until further notice.
The mayor’s decision was roundly condemned by Israeli politicians.

bib is not dum . he knows the truth . he will sell out his jewish people
b4 getting guts to do the right thing
how many more korbanos . ? till the government does the right thing ?
All the benefits that Bibi thinks he will be getting for keeping arabs in the workforce isn’t worth one pinky and especially one life of a Yid. The mayor did the correct thing. It’s not revenge rather it’s safety. We give these arabs machinery and let them in to our mists and it is a very dangerous situation. I one time went into a fish store and there was an arab with a large knife cutting up the fish!!! With these arabs you don’t know from one day to the next one day he is using that knife to cut fish … Chas v’shalom.
You cant discriminate because of a small minority of them are crazy small minority what is BIbi smoking lately
Bravo to mayor of ashkelon. He got the message and sees the writing on the wall loud and clear
“There Is No Place For Discrimination Against Israeli-Arabs In Israeli Society”
Oh yes there is. Look what all the freebies these scum have gotten has done for us – they are more empowered every day we do NOTHING. Israeli Jews, especially Chareidim, don’t get anything like these Arabs get. Don’t just demolish the homes of the perpetrators, demolish the whole damn street. Take away every benefit to the whole lot of them. STOP EMPLOYING THEM!
Rami Levy supermarket in Beitar fired all the Arab workers from Hussan. The Karlin-Stoliner Rebbe paskened all his mosdot should get rid of every Arab worker. Who else will start acting responsibly to protect us? Not Netanyahu.
Get rid of democracy in Israel.
Bibi, can you guarantee my life?
I travel on Egged buses each day and many drivers are Arabs. Can you assure me that they will not decide to topple their bus in a ravine?
What about my wife and kids? Can you give us assurances that the Arab who works in the grocery store won’t kill my wife?
Can you guarantee that the Arab working in construction will not attack my daughters coming home from school?
Bibi, I have discrimination but when my life and that of my family is at stake, I prefer to remain safe. If you can not assure me of my safety, then I would advise you to remain silent.
I guess the discrimination in Israel is that against Israelis. Israeli citizenship should not be given to the arabs, yimach shemam. Period. A good arab is a dead arab
how dumb and stupid is this guy U MUST Discriminate against every Arab there are no good Arabs not today and not tomorrow never was never will be bibi wake up and smell the coffee maybe one day u won’t wake up and it will be to late
Alright, this will be unpopular, but here goes;
all the construction workers are arab, half the doctors and most of the bus drivers. They live in Jerusalem next door with Jews and so on. How do you envision separation? Its ridiculous and outlandish, completely unfeasible.
Not to mention that it would be a sure ticket to getting shunned by the world. As it is the media reports are one-sided…
I certainly appreciate the sentiment, and I’m as scared as the next guy as I walk the street, but long-term, people need to learn to live together, rather than build walls.
There is a simple solution. Import a half million Chinese to work in grocerys,hotels and hospitals. It’s simple. You get rid of the people who hate you. We did it in NYC and crime is way down in frum areas. We got rid of those who hate us by replacing them with Chinese. They make great neighbors and don’t bother Jews. Why can’t israel make a deal with china. They will be happy to give you a million Chinese. Their population is the largest in the world.
