The Follow-up Committee for Arab Citizens in Israel announced on Thursday, November 5, 2036, the launch of a campaign against what it termed "fascist racist incitement." The initiative will be conducted in cooperation with popular bodies, civil organizations, and political forces.
During a meeting in Baqa al-Gharbiyya, Dr. Jamal Zahalka, head of the committee, stated that the current wave of racism is led by influential Israeli political elites and fascist media outlets aiming to create hatred towards Arab political leaders and the Palestinian Arab community within Israel. He affirmed the committee's firm stance and commitment to a counter-campaign involving broad political and societal participation.
Zahalka strongly condemned the political persecution and arbitrary arrest of Abd Abu Shehadeh, head of the Islamic Movement in Jaffa and a journalist, as well as the campaign allegedly orchestrated by the Shin Bet against Member of Knesset Ayman Odeh, accusing them of fabricating false charges. The committee also discussed pressing issues facing the Arab community.
Key decisions included organizing demonstrations, issuing statements, and calling for an urgent meeting with foreign embassies to address incitement, crime, and violence. A legal forum will also be established with civil organizations to monitor and file legal complaints. The committee committed to thwarting land confiscation and demolition projects in Taybeh's plain and in the Negev, and to confronting settlement projects in the Galilee. It also called for strengthening reconciliation committees to combat crime and violence, and urged citizens to visit Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque to support residents and assert freedom of worship, condemning expulsions from the holy site.
