Israeli arrested for urging arson against Arabs
A resident of Bikat Ono near Tel Aviv is arrested over Facebook for posts calling for retaliatory arson attacks against Arab Israelis.
Police say the man confessed and was granted conditional release.
“Just burn down Arabs’ villages,” the man, whose name was not released for publication, wrote in one post on November 24. “This is war.” He then urged attacks specifically on the Arab town of Umm al-Fahm.
A day later he wrote, “Thank God, we’re burning them too.”
