ISIS Sign Displayed in Arab-Israel City East of Netanya

A Facebook photo on Sunday shows the Islamic State (ISIS) symbol displayed outside a building in the Arab city of Umm al-Fahm, headquarters of the northern branch of the radical Islamic Movement.

The city, with a city of approximately 50,000 Arabs, is located several miles northeast of Hadera and southwest of Haifa and on the main highway connecting the Mediterranean Sea with Afula and Beit Shean.

No Jews live in Umm al-Fahm. When right-wing activists wanted to stage a rally there two years ago and in previous years, complete with Israel flags, their numbers were limited as a security measure, and they were escorted and protects by dozens of police.

Umm al-Fahm, which borders smaller Jewish communities and is located next to northern Samaria towns, is a hotbed of radical Islam.

Arabs are Israeli citizens but risk their lives if they say anything in favor of the country.

MEMRI (Middle East Media Research Institute) posted last week a sermon by an Umm al-Fahm and shown on the Internet, supporting  ISIS and calling Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu a "Jewish dog."

Elsewhere in Israel Sunday, police continue to prohibit Jews from "inciting" Muslims by praying on the Temple Mount.

Below is video of a Jewish rally in Umm al-Fah, with explanations of Iran's PRESS TV, which referred to the city as being "Palestinian" and located in the "occupied" territories.
