Arab journalist draws online ire over ‘flocking to the poll’ post
Arab Israeli journalist Lucy Aharish posts an Instagram photo of herself “flocking to the polls,” and draws the ire of right-wing pro-Likud trolls.
Her comment is a reference to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s warning to his supporters in the 2015 election that Arab voters were “flocking to the polls in droves.”
The morning post drew some 4,000 likes by the afternoon, and nearly 400 comments, many of them angry attacks.
