Far-right activists break up town hall featuring Arab lawmaker, attack his car

Far-right activists interrupted a town hall-like gathering at a private home in Pardes Hanna featuring Hadash-Ta’al MK Ayman Odeh.

The activists were filmed banging on Odeh’s car as he made his way out of the event. There were also reports that stones were thrown at the vehicle.

Police were at the scene during the altercation, but didn’t make any arrests.

Responding to the incident, Odeh says in a statement, “We will continue to stand strong — Jews and Arabs together — against the fascism that is raging in this country under the auspices of the current government. Even if they try to suppress us, silence us and attack us, we will multiply, we will strengthen and we will break through.”

“We do not surrender to the fascists. We defeat the fascists. And the only way to do this is through a courageous Jewish-Arab partnership,” he adds.
