Sunday, June 23, 2024, 12:27 The residents of Emanuel, a community in the Shomron, are continuing their protest against the decision to allow the entrance of Arab workers to the city. For the entire duration of the war, entrance of Arabs to the city was forbidden. This morning (Sunday), dozens of residents held a protest at a construction site in the city. Border police officers arrived at the scene, dispersed the protesters and detained one of them on suspicion of obstructing a police officer in the line of duty. Honenu Attorney Nati Rom provided legal assistance to the detainee, who was released a short time later.
Honenu Attorney Nati Rom: “We are faced with an insane reality in which Jews legally protesting the entrance of Arabs from the Palestinian Authority to their city during a time of war, which could endanger the residents, are dispersed by force, with one of them detained for obstructing a police officer in the line of duty. I did not see treatment of protesters like this at any of the anarchists’ protests on Kaplan Street against judicial reform, even though they blocked streets and set fires. The police should use the same policies with protesters from anywhere on the political spectrum. We will continue assisting anyone fighting for the Land of Israel.”
