Israeli-Arab party split over US strike on Syria
The Hadash faction within the Israeli-Arab Joint List demonstrated against the American attack on Syrian chemical depots.
“The United States has a rich history of aggression and bullying in the region under the pretext of [reported] weapons of mass destruction, which turned out to be false.” This was the reaction of the radical left-wing Hadash Party, denouncing the US, British and French strikes in response to the reported use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime in the town of Douma.
In a statement issued by the party several hours after the April 14 attack, the party urged its supporters to protest at the US consulate in the city of Haifa and call for “an end to US aggression in Syria.” Some 100 protesters heeded the call and marched along the city streets, carrying Syrian flags and signs calling for an end to American military actions in Syria.
