NAZARETH, Saturday, January 30, 2021 (WAFA) – Dozens of Palestinians demonstrated today at the main entrance to the Qalansuwa city, in central Israel, to protest against the escalation of violence in Arab communities in Israel and the failure of the Israeli police to put a stop to the rising crime.

Demonstrators carried banners condemning Israeli police complicity and inaction against the rise of crime in Arab towns in Israel.

Similar protests were held across multiple Arab towns inside Israel.

Palestinians in Israel, who make up more than 20 percent of the Israeli population, accuse the police and government of discriminating against them and not doing enough to stop crime in their towns compared to Jewish towns.
