Islamist Ra’am party chairman condemns Arab-Jewish violence
Ra’am chairman Mansour Abbas pans the violence of Jewish and Arab mobs targeting innocent bystanders in ethnically motivated attacks across the country this evening.
“I call on all politicians, leaders, mayors and clerics — Arabs and Jews — to put all disputes aside and take responsibility for our society as a whole and do everything in their power to stop the current wave of violence and madness across the country,” he says.
“Please take responsibility for people’s lives. This is a moment when the humanity within each and every one of us needs to be revealed and transcend beyond any difference, conflict or controversy of any kind.”
