Thousands of Israeli Arabs are quietly flooding the Internet this week with encouragement to murder Jews. They are spreading the message via their Facebook pages this week with a slogan on their profiles: “Death to Jews.”
A sampling of at least 300 names by the Israeli Hebrew-language 0404 news website showed that most of those who posted the incitement live in Israel in areas from Jerusalem to Arab villages in the north and had already changed their profiles to read “Death to Jews.”
In response to the murderous incitement, numerous Israeli Jews have added the words “Death to Arabs” to their profiles as well.
The 0404 website called on the general public Thursday to rename individual Facebook profiles (using an alias) and add the words “Am Israel Chai” (Long live the People of Israel).
“This is the best reply to those who want to destroy us,” stated the site in an article Thursday night.
At the same time, Internet surfers who encounter Arabs who have posted “Death to Jews” on their profiles are asked to perform a “print screen” screen shot of the Facebook page and send it to Israel Police.
