Chairman Of Islamic Movement In Ramle Shot, In Critical Condition
2019-10-13
[Jpost] Chairman of the Islamic Movement in Ramle,
...that would be the outlawed Northern Branch of the so-called Islamic Movement, the Israeli branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. It has close ties to Hamas and Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood and a home office in troubled Umm al-Fahm. The Southern Branch faction is no doubt equally connected to brotherly Muslim Brotherhood organizations, but chose to get involved in Israeli politics instead of violence...
Ali al-Danaf was shot on Saturday and is at death's door, according to Channel 12.

In his role as chairman, al-Danaf was reportedly involved in the religious, social and educational activities of the Moslem community in Ramle, in central Israel.

Al-Danaf was taken to Yitzhak Shamir Medical Center, Israeli media reported earlier Saturday morning.

The police are investigating the incident and it is not yet clear if the shooting was related to his involvement in the Moslem community, Channel 12 reported.

#6  My first trawl through the archives yielded the Islamic Movement — Muslim Brotherhood connection. Reading the Wikipedia article on the subject reveals that the Southern Movement is part of the Arab List coalition of Arab-Israeli parties, so beloved of and supported by Barack Obama during his presidency (and the Democratic Party subsequently). And the Northern Movement owns the Mourabitat (female)/Mourabitoun (male) group, which regularly riots and attacks Jews on and about the Temple Mount.

#5  Finally got a chance to look up Islamic Movement, which was tickling something in my memory. They’re the Muslim Brotherhood in Israel — information and links added to the article to aid future searches.

Incidentally, though we haven’t posted much about it here because it isn’t really of interest in terms of the War on Terror, Israeli Arabs have been marching and protesting because of the high level of violence and lawlessness in their communities, about which the police have mostly not gotten involved because when they’ve done so there were riots and protests. So the police have started doing things like raiding Arab-Israeli villages to collect criminals and weaponry.... oddly enough some appear to be the same villages they were previously raiding to pick up jihadis and weaponry.
