EAST JERUSALEM — Supporters of the Islamic Movement's northern branch in Israel are trying to counter the country's recent ban on the group — a ban one former Arab Knesset member called “a preamble for racist resolutions to come."
The High Follow-up Committee for Arab Citizens of Israel has organized acts of solidarity for the Islamic Movement branch. The committee erected a permanent tent of solidarity in the city of Umm al-Fahm on Nov. 18, one day after the ban was issued.
