Hamas campaign will not succeed in recruiting Israel's Palestinians
The vast majority of the Palestinian society in #Israel is horrified by the October 7 massacre, and appalled by the terrorists' enticements to engage them in confrontations. But their persecution within Israel continues.

Are there bad weeds within the Arab society in Israel #Unfortunately, yes, but they are a minority and must be dealt with zero tolerance. They have no place among us.
[...] One cannot ignore the facts on the ground: since October 7, #Hamas has conducted a massive campaign to recruit Israeli Arab citizens to start confrontations, and so far has completely missed the target. They did not grasp that even Arabs who define themselves as Palestinians will not identify with cruelty. They support the rights of the Palestinian people, but do not even mention the issue at this point in time, when the sights are still fresh.
[...] And yet, the Arabs in Israel grieve for the innocent deaths in #Gaza, and those who express their position on the matter are subject to fanatic persecution in every possible space – at the university, at work and of course on social media. Any expression of compassion or old social media post spark a despicable witch hunt. This campaign must be ended as soon as possible.
[...] The Arabs and Jews will remain here, and they will have to find a solution for living together. For the future and not for death. Everything done to this day - did not work and is not enough. We need to recalculate the trajectory, and we all need to join this trajectory.
