The inaccuracies in Netanyahu's speech - and the mayor's puzzling story: behind the visit to Nazareth

The prime minister boasted about setting up police stations in Arab localities but forgot that this was done even before his tenure, and presented a creative version of the intention behind the video "Arabs move to the polls."

The mayor who spoke after him called for fighting violence in the sector, without mentioning the one that took place in his family

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Nazareth today (Wednesday) provoked a storm in the city, and was accompanied by clashes between police and demonstrators, during which 19 demonstrators were arrested.

The speech he delivered at the City Hall also provoked quite a few reactions, given Netanyahu's charged relationship with Arab society in Israel.

Netanyahu delivered a conciliatory speech in which he expressed pride in the Arab public, apologized for his warning against Arab voting in the 2015 elections, attacked the joint list, pledged to fight violence in the sector, and called for the beginning of a "new era for Jews and Arabs."

However, his speech suffered from a number of inaccuracies.

Thus, Netanyahu claimed that in his famous call in the 2015 elections, which is remembered as the call "Arabs are flocking to the polls," he did not oppose the exercise of the right of Arab citizens to vote;

"I did not intend to warn against the actual voting in the elections of the Arab citizens of Israel," Netanyahu said today. "I intended to warn against voting for the joint list."

But watching a video that was distributed on Election Day reminds us that its content is different from what was claimed today.

Netanyahu then referred to the "Arab voters" as one public: "The right-wing government is in danger. The Arab voters are moving in large numbers to the polls. The left-wing associations bring them by bus. We do not have a V-15, we have an 'Order 8', we only have you. , Bring your friends and family, the IDF voted to close the gap between us and the Labor Party.

With your help and with the help of the name, we will form a national government that will preserve the State of Israel. "

Moreover, in September 2019, a week before the 22nd Knesset elections, a message was sent in Messenger to followers of Netanyahu's Facebook page who agreed to hold persuasion talks for the undecided, and they were asked to say that "a left-wing government should not be formed that trusts Arabs who want to destroy us all."

After the announcement, the Likud said at the time that "this is a mistake of an employee at the headquarters. The prime minister did not see the things, did not approve them, they are not on his mind and are not acceptable to him. When the things were brought to his attention, he asked to remove them immediately."

In his speech today, Netanyahu also addressed the question of the personal security of Arab citizens, in light of the rising wave of violence in the sector.

In his remarks, the Prime Minister focused on opening new police stations in the Arab localities and emphasized this in light of the fact that he said that "during the decades of existence of the state, there was only one police station in the Arab localities in Nazareth, in Nazareth.

Was not built in a police station one, except that it was Nazareth. "

Indeed, in recent years, opening police stations and posts many in the Arab communities. However, it should be noted that the police station in Nazareth was not the only station placed in an Arab community in Israel until 2016, as claimed by Netanyahu.

Shfar'am works A police station has been operating for decades. In the distant past, there was also a police station in Araba. In Wadi Ara, there has been a police station called "Iron Station" for many years, and in Taibeh there has been a police station since 1988. Another station was established in 2003 in Umm al-Fahm. , In which the then Minister of Internal Security Uzi Landau participated, said the head of the logistics and planning department at the police, Superintendent Hussein Fares, that "this is a project of great importance."

A tragic affair of violence

After the prime minister, Ali Salam, the host mayor, spoke today.

He also referred in his remarks to the wave of violence - the most burning issue these days in Arab society in Israel.

"Mr. Prime Minister, you spoke about the violence in the Arab sector. I am personally very worried, I live with the people. I am not a mayor sitting at home," Salam said.

"Any problem, big or small, I am the first with the police or before the police. I am very worried about the violence in Arab society ... help us. If I tell you that we will end the violence, I will lie, but the disease called violence must be brought down," he added.

Behind Salam's call against violence lurks a grim affair: his son, Bassel Salam, is serving a prison sentence for the murder of his wife, the goddess, in the shootings.

The murder took place in early February 2010, in the apartment of the couple who lived with their three children on the third floor of the house of Salam, who then served as deputy mayor of Nazareth.

The police found a lone backpack at the murder scene, which was under the murdered woman's shoulder.

In the verdict, in December 2012, Judge Benjamin Arbel noted that "three of the pistols and the fourth bullet casings disappeared from the scene. The security camera operation was also stopped at the defendant's family home, when he entered the house, and resumed operation only at 05:00. There is no doubt that the pistols and bullets disappeared. Intentionally done by Mann Dahua. "

Judge Arbel also wondered about the behavior of the family members - also about Slam. "Everyone who visited the scene before the police arrived was the defendant, his brother Maher and his father Ali. The last two confessed in their testimony before us that they entered the deceased's room after the shooting and hence only the defendant or his two family members could remove the bullets and bullet." Arbel stated. "It is clear that the removal of the evidence was done with the intention of harming a possible investigation. However, in the absence of clear evidence as to the identity of the jammer, I could not determine a finding that would lead to a conviction ... also the fact that the rescue forces were not called when the first call to the police was made by the father only at 3:04 and when we know the father went to the murder scene. 02:18, testifies that no member of the household was in a hurry to call the security forces for such a long period of time, that it is not known what was done in the arena. "

Also about the cessation of security camera operation, the judge wrote that" this was probably done by the defendant Or his family. Also known as the rink have been suppressed evidence, so it is certainly possible that stopping camera operation done intentionally any case, even deny the existence of a fault has occurred, miraculously, precisely at this critical time. "

However, it is important to note that only against son filed charges Article Of disrupting investigative or trial proceedings and not against any other family member, and that the judgment also held that it had not been proved at a level beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant had indeed disrupted investigative or trial proceedings and he was acquitted of that offense.
