| [IsraelTimes] Mohammed Mahdi Agbaria also found guilty of throwing roofing tiles at officers who came to arrest him; judges call his actions ’an attempt to carry out a coup by armed force’ An Arab man from northern Israel was sentenced Thursday to 15 years in prison after being convicted for his role in riots last May that featured some of the worst inter-ethnic violence in the country’s history.

The riots in Acre and outside Umm al-Fahm were part of a series of ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.
