Interesting dynamics. [IsraelTimes] Samir Subhi Mahamed clears protesters from city street, says he supports ’legitimate protest, but not violence’.
The mayor of the Arab Israeli town of Umm al-Fahm
... home of the outlawed Northern Branch of the Islamic Movement, the militant arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in Israel.... confronted city residents who were protesting against Israel over Jerusalem’s Temple Mount on Friday.
Mayor Samir Subhi Mahamed told off the young, masked men who were protesting Israeli actions at the Jerusalem holy site and trying to block traffic from entering Umm al-Fahm.
The protesters chanted "Israel is a terror state," attempted to damage property, lit tires on fire and shot off fireworks, the Kan public broadcaster reported. The demonstration took place at the end of a procession following Ramadan prayers.
A large police force was in the area in case of an escalation. Friday reports said dozens were seen chanting in Umm al-Fahm in support of the Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, terror group and protesters who confronted police on the Temple Mount earlier that day.
Video from the scene showed Mahamed shouting and gesturing at men on a city street.
Mahamed told Haaretz that he was trying to calm a tense situation.
"I’m in favor of legitimate protest, but not violence," Mahamed told Haaretz.
"There’s no place for a protest that disturbs public order. That doesn’t serve anyone, and definitely not the message we’re trying to send," he said.
He said it was important to protest Israeli actions at the al-Aqsa Mosque, "but in a legitimate way."
The protesters were from a group called al-Hirak al-Shabaab
 ...... al-Qaeda's tentacle in East Africa...
i ("The Youth Movement") that is not affiliated with any political party, and is known for taking Death Eater positions.
Police later said four minors were arrested over rioting in the city. "The riots included attempts to block the entrance to the city, firing fireworks, throwing stones at the [police] forces and burning tires in the middle of the road," police said in a statement.
