Um El Fahm Arabs' Violence against Jewish March

For months, a group of right-wing Jews - having no connection to Lieberman - has been seeking to 'march' through Um-el-Fahm carrying Israeli flags to show the town's residents that they live in Israel. The Supreme Court finally ordered the police to allow the march to take place, but not until after the elections and under conditions that the police considered safe. The march finally took place on Tuesday morning with exactly 100 (the number the police allowed) unarmed marchers (they were all checked) carrying Israeli flags. And the 'Israeli Arabs' started throwing stones at the Jewish marchers. Fifteen people were hurt (including the Deputy Police Chief) and twelve were arrested.
