9:13AM IL: Um el-Fahm leaders claim they are unable to control the municipality’s 47,000 residents, many of whom on Tuesday morning are opting to wave PLO flags in response to the Israel Flag March expected to get underway in the coming minutes.
Thousands of police are on hand to maintain order and permit some 100 marchers carrying the national flag to enter the Israeli Arab municipality, in compliance with a High Court ruling.
Um el-Fahm City Hall declared a general strike today, Tuesday, and leaders are calling on the residents to take part in efforts to prevent right-wingers from entering their community. (Yechiel Spira – YWN Israel)

Those carrying the flag of an enemy entity should be imprisoned and ultimately deported.
Its THAT SIMPLE! If the Israeli government would DO that a few times, and take back control of the yishmaelim, in no time they would change their attitude, the pachad haYehudim that existed after the 6 day war would be back, and things could and would be much different. AND… if they didn’t change the deportations could continue until either they DID change, or they were ALL deported! A win-win situation.
