Wallstorm wasn’t the only one to draw Israel into the fray in trying to understand and explain the Paris attacks.
It was not immediately clear what he was doing in Tel Aviv, although many Palestinians are granted permits to work in Israel. From the outset it was compared to the Muslim Brotherhood for its social, economic and political platform.
The Islamic Movement in Israel also has a “southern branch”, which is considered more moderate and which was not affected by the ban. Several politicians have urged licensed gun owners to carry their weapons and there have been several bloody accidents.
After parting ways, the northern group continued on as a service organization, funding charities, schools-gender segregated and coeducational-and local newspapers. The group’s leaders, known for their fiery rhetoric, have spearheaded accusations that Israel is plotting to take over a sensitive holy site in Jerusalem. The UN has passed numerous resolutions condemning Israeli settlement activity, but the United States, Israel’s closest ally and main benefactor, has used its Security Council veto power to thwart the will of the global body. He was jailed from 2003 to 2005 for operating charities in the West Bank that were allegedly affiliated with Hamas. Authorities also froze the group’s bank accounts, and the government said activists could be subject to arrest if they violate the ban.
In yesterday’s announcement, Israel’s security cabinet said indictments were issued for Salah and an unknown number of other leaders in the Islamic Movement of Northern Israel. Police at times have blocked busloads of Islamic Movement supporters from Jerusalem.

The World Court says settlements built on land Israel occupied in a 1967 war are illegal. According to the Israeli press, Netanyahu could ask Washington for more military aid, going from three billion a year to five billion.
Israel has charged the three Jews with the murder of Khdeir’s cousin, saying they were seeking to avenge the abduction and killing in June 2014 of three Israeli youths by Hamas militants.
Moreover, the use of the label of “terrorist” to justify the anti-democratic political persecution of the Northern Islamic Movement and the Morabitat not only gravely endangers the possibility of Palestinian liberation, but the rights of all citizens under Israeli rule.
