Muslim cleric arrested by Shin Bet filmed earlier this week condemning violence on Jews

Sheikh Kamal Khatib from Kafr Kanna, who was arrested earlier this evening in the town on suspicions he’s played a role instigating Arab violence targeting Jews, was filmed earlier this week condmening such violence.

Commenting on a mob attack of a Jewish bystander in the town, he said, “If I had been there myself I would have rescued him, just as some of the villagers did. What happened is contrary to the values of Islam.”
