About 150 residents of the northern city of Afula demonstrated on Wednesday afternoon against the sale of a house to an Arab family. Protesters waved Israeli flags and carried signs condemning the sale and the homeowners who sold their house to Arabs, one of which read: “Traitors against the Jews will get no rest.” Former Afula Mayor Avi Elkabetz and Deputy Mayor Shlomo Malihi participated in the protest. Elkabetz said that “the residents of Afula don’t want a mixed city, but rather a Jewish city, and it’s their right. This is not racism.” Malihi added: “I hope that the house sale will be cancelled so that this city won’t begin to be mixed.”
