Arab society continues to bleed as only last week six people were murdered.
According to data from the Aman Center for Combating Violence, 19-year-old Amir Nahash, who was murdered last night (Saturday) in Nazareth, has been the 58th murder victim in Arab society since the beginning of the year.
The mayor of Nazareth, Ali Salam, was furious when asked to comment on the murder in his city this morning.
"Ask me about schools, ask me about culture, you media just want to talk about violence," he added.
But the Arab public and social organizations are concerned and the issue is not off the agenda.
The "Abraham Initiatives" organization notes that 26 young Arabs up to the age of 30 lost their lives this year in circumstances related to violence and crime.
"The difficult phenomenon of detached Arab youth and young people with no action has catastrophic consequences for Arab society, and this is one of the significant causes of the depth of violence and crime," the association said in a slightly different approach from the accusing finger usually pointed at the police.

The exact numbers depend on what you count and how you count, but they are always on the rise. According to the Aman Center for Combating Violence in Arab Society, 113 Arabs were murdered last year. According to the center, 50 men and eight women were among the victims of the murder this year.
On Wednesday this week, a 27-year-old mother of four was murdered in her apartment in the Halisa neighborhood of Haifa. According to the suspicion the background was a dispute with her divorcee over sight arrangements for children, when he is at all in Turkey.
On Sunday, in Lod, Jamil Azbarka, 33, who was shot dead on Abba Hillel Silver Street in the city, was killed on suspicion of being part of a bloody conflict between the Abu Saluk and Azbarka crime families. The day before last Saturday, 58-year-old Yosef Jerushi, his 46-year-old wife Nawal and their 16-year-old daughter Ryan were shot dead on Road 806 near the Eilabun junction in the Lower Galilee. Their 8-year-old daughter was moderately injured in the incident.
"This is not a wave, but a sequence of murders and the murderous crime epidemic," MK Ahmad Tibi wants to be precise. "Nothing has changed in the attitude of the police and the police's treatment of criminal organizations, so nothing has changed in the conduct of criminal organizations except maybe they became more violent and not Fear more from the arms of the law.
No deterrence.
They do not count the police. "

MK Aida Toma Suleiman says that "most of the problem was revealed in a leak two days ago at one of the police meetings, according to which the murderous crime in Arab society is excused by the fact that some of the criminal organizations are linked to the GSS, which gives them privacy to its participants."
She added that "the solution can not be the perception that was in the past. Until the state stops using criminal organizations as a controlling agent in Arab society and does not change its perception of us as a security threat, the situation will not change, and we will go deeper. The 'cultural' reasons are culture. The silence and the connection of silence about the connection between the arms of the state and the criminal organizations. "
"This year, according to all indications, will end in a very high number of murders, more than in all the last few years," says Walla!
Advocate Rada Jaber, director of the Aman Center, “The state should recover and start acting and not wait all the time for the approval of grandiose plans and act immediately and deeply.
If it does not surround the criminal organizations and deal with them thoroughly and significantly, the crime will reach a point where a government force will have a hard time dealing with it.
The criminal organizations will become a state within a state.
We are facing a socio-economic catastrophe with unintended consequences. "

Law enforcement agencies, led by the police and the prosecutor's office, are having a hard time dealing with the numbers, and the complexity and sophistication of these murders. There are decipherments, police investigations lead to prosecution and there are even convictions. For example, this week the Haifa District Court sent Wissam Abu al-Hasana, a resident of Gaza, to life imprisonment for another five years, who murdered 17-year-old Adel Khatib from Shfaram two years ago, stating that it was an act that embodies "pure evil". His actions are to follow money only.
But the murder cases continue to pile up in the central units of the police districts, and police officials also admit that in practice it turns out that even the heavy sentences fail to deter the killers who do not all have a criminal background.
"Crime is an epidemic," explains Jaber, a graduate of the Mandel Institute for Educational Leadership. "The crime epidemic does not stop, and as it develops it takes on new forms that cannot be imagined in advance. There are already mutations of the crime phenomenon and this is what we are beginning to see. This week in a wave of murders that are not necessarily directly related to each other and come from all sorts of directions. "

In a recent article published by Jaber in Arabic, he argues that violence in Arab society is the result of organized crime because it "gave legitimacy and it enabled mentally and socially the use of force as a means of resolving conflicts even within normative life in Arab society." "If you want to deal with violence in Arab society, you have to deal with crime and, first of all, organized crime."
"The involvement of young people in incidents of violence and crime is directly related to the fact that this population group has been neglected and has no dedicated frameworks. No young person whose whole life before him will choose inaction and purpose over action," say Avraham Entrepreneurship. Assistance in guiding employment and study frameworks for young Arab people outside the labor force and educational frameworks, along with the development and implementation of anti-violence education programs in the formal and informal education frameworks in Arab localities and mixed cities,Adapted to Arab society. "
"One murder is too much, every soul is a world and its fullness for me," says Chief of Staff Jamal Khachrush, who has been the head of the Israel Police Administration for four years to improve service in Arab society. If we are in a situation where we reduce the number of murders from six to three and call it a success, Khachrush's administration is undergoing an upgrade in the coming days, under the direction of the commissioner. "Unlike those who sit on the fence and criticize, I take responsibility for it. You will not hear me address accusations to others."
He promises, "No criminal is sponsored by the Israel Police and the law does not authorize anyone to violate the law. Disseminate any statement that was not and was not created." Only on Wednesday we had a meeting with Minister Omer Bar-Lev and Commissioner Ranatz Winery Shabtai and the Bvir Command and I said To them that our main task should be to strengthen the rule of law in the Arab street and it will do its part.
That is why all our plans are in this direction.
It's time to give the 97 percent who are the normative citizen their security and our plans are just that while integrating more young Arabs into the Israel Police.
The situation is unfortunate and I call on every human being and also in my society, Arab society, let us decide that everyone sanctifies life.
As a task on.
That conflicts will not come to take human life in any way.
No conflict justifies it.
There is no reason in the world to take care of human life. "
