Israel bans Islamist Arab party accusing it of inciting violence

Israel outlawed a domestic religious- political group it referred to as the northern branch of the Islamic Movement, accusing it of inciting recent Arab violence by conducting a campaign of agitation over a Jerusalem holy site.

The South African arrest warrants come as a judge issued similar warrants in Spain for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior Israeli officials on Tuesday, also over the flotilla incident.

This physical fragmentation, coupled with Israeli restrictions on movement and access, has led to the emergence of different economies in the occupied territory, greatly harming the prospects for economic development.

Still Salah is somewhat of a peripheral figure in the landscape of Palestinian leaders.

Ghanem said it was preposterous to claim that the Islamic Movement shared common ground with Islamic State.

The Joint Arab List released a scathing statement in response to the outlawing of the group, calling the decision “brutal and clearly anti-democratic”.

In all, 14 Israelis have been killed since early October and Israeli security forces have killed more than 80 Palestinians, half accused by Israel of attacking Jews.

Adalah, a legal group for Palestinians in Israel, said the order from the defence minister, Moshe Yaalon, was based on emergency regulations from the British Mandate period.

It accused the movement of “continuous incitement to violence and racism”, the statement said. “All these measures done by the Israeli establishment are oppressive and condemned”, Salah said.

But many Palestinians interpret the last part of Gabai’s statement as indicative of renewed Israeli theft of Palestinian territory, and Israel critics including former United Nations human rights monitor Richard Falk, an American Jew, have said that settlements-which were often established through the expulsion of the indigenous Arab population and confiscation of their lands- are a form of ethnic cleansing.

The Jordanian King has been at the forefront of the battle against Islamic State ever since the Jihadist group burned the Jordanian pilot Mu’ath al-Kaseasbeh alive.

The current round of violence erupted in mid-September over rumors that Israel was trying to expand Jewish presence at the Jerusalem shrine and spread to the West Bank, Israeli cities and the Gaza border.

Security forces later closed 17 organizations affiliated with the Islamic Movement in Israel, seizing cash, documents and computers, according to police. “Further, this system will help curb efforts to boycott Israel entirely, such as those advocated by the BDS movement” (Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions).

Radical cleric Raed Salah, the group’s leader, was defiant, saying his party would fight the measure and continue its mission.

Salah is set to start an 11-month jail term later this month in connection with incitement charges from a 2007 sermon where he allegedly called for a new uprising against Israel. The movement claims that Israel is about to change the delicate status quo on the Temple mount and intends to destroy the al-Aqsa mosque.

The Islamic Movement of Israel provides religious and educational services for Israeli Arabs.

“The rest of the world knows that the USA government has been-no matter what Israel does, no matter how many Palestinians they kill each year-the U.S.is going to give them a pass, a free ride”.

Strict security measures, including limits on who was allowed to enter, eventually halted those clashes, but a new wave of violence that began in October has seen Palestinians target Israelis elsewhere with knife, gun and car-ramming attacks.
