Israel – Israeli police have arrested four Jewish activists from the extremist Lehava group opposed to Arab-Jewish coexistence.

The arrests are part of a clampdown on the fringe organization, which has become a symbol of rising anti-Arab sentiment.
Police spokeswoman Luba Samri says the arrests took place on Sunday in five different cities throughout Israel. She says that along with the four arrested, four other activists were detained and then released.
Last week, police arrested 10 Lehava members, including its leader, on suspicion of racist incitement and calls to violence. The group has sought to break up Arab-Jewish couples and has waged campaigns to prevent Jews and Arabs from working together.
Three Lehava members were indicted last week on charges of torching a bilingual Hebrew-Arabic school in Jerusalem last month.
Israel thinks it is racist to break up Arab-Jewish couples? What god are they worshiping? The god called democracy?
Yes, what a wonderful way to stop the terror….arrest the Jews trying to protect themselves, rather than the savages who are responsible for all the violence, that’s what happens when a country is more concerned with world opinion the protecting her own citizens from her enemies. Pathetic.
Keep them all in jail for 2 months, they are responsible for all jewish blood in israel including the 4 victims of har nof
Alas Israel the suicidal country will never succeed. Jews don’t die in Shul because we bring cellphones into Shul. Jews die in Shul because of a moronic and Suicidal Israel government that re-pays cruelty with kindness and kindness with cruelty.
