<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Times New Roman;">Those  who still adhere to the ‘One State Solution’ are living a dream. Civil  strife continues to grow in major cities throughout Israel making that  concept near to impossible. Ultra Orthodox rulings have virtually  rendered the Palestinians (and all other non Jews) to be sub  human creatures and have treated them as such. More and more commercial  establishments in the Jerusalem area have adopted a ‘Jews Only’ policy,  refusing to hire or rent premises to Arabs.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Times New Roman;">The  redundant Palestinian Authority has remained silent on all of the above  as not to rock the comfortable boat they are sailing on, a boat that is  slowly sailing to oblivion.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Times New Roman;">The  most recent example of the hatred displayed by the extreme zionist  elements took place this morning in the city of Jaffa, near Tel Aviv.  Jaffa has a population of 46,000 residents of which 17,000 are  Palestinian. </span></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Times New Roman;">I ask one question, if Peace cannot prevail in <strong>ONE</strong> city in Israel, how can anyone expect it to under a One State Solution? A Palestinian State <strong>MUST</strong> be founded on Palestinian territory. Palestine <strong>MUST</strong> be able to govern itself with a government of <strong>THEIR</strong> choice without the continued animosity of the zionist entity that has been out to destroy them for almost seven decades. </span></div>

<h2><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Times New Roman;">March  is organized by right-wing activists who want to protest ‘Islamic  Movement gaining control over [the city]‘; Arab residents close  businesses in protest. </span></h2>

<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Times New Roman;">Police arrested sixteen left-wing protesters who were demonstrating against a right-wing march through Jaffa on Wednesday.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Times New Roman;">The  march, organized by National Union MK Michael Ben-Ari and right-wing  activists Itamar Ben-Gvir and Baruch Marzel was in protest of what they  deemed the “Islamic Movement gaining control over [the city].”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Times New Roman;">The  march comes just a few days after the Tel Aviv-Jaffa municipality  announced a plan to build affordable housing exclusively for Jaffa’s  Arab residents.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Times New Roman;">Police  spent the morning preparing the city to prevent confrontation between  the right wing marchers and Jaffa’s Arab residents. Roads surrounding  the planned route of the march, which began at the city’s clock tower,  have been closed to traffic.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Times New Roman;">The  head of the Arab residents of Jaffa said that a symbolic demonstration  against the march had been decided on. Leaders of Jaffa’s Arab community  gathered at a location close to the march so they could observe what is  happening. Arab workers in the city decided to strike during the time  that the march is taking place.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Times New Roman;">“There  have always been Jews and Arabs together in Jaffa, in coexistence and  with mutual respect,” Tel Aviv councilman Ahmed Mashharawi said on  Wednesday. “These people’s march reveals their true ugly face. As long  as they don’t harm the routine of the residents, we won’t allow them the  pleasure of receiving a headline on our account.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Times New Roman;">Jaffa is a mixed city where both Jews and Arabs live; of the 46,000 residents, 17,000 are Arab.</span></p>
