Recall, dear Reader, that Umm Al Fahm is the home base of the Northern Branch of the Islamic Movement, the militant wing of the Muslim Brotherhood in Israel. Given that Mansour Abbas, head of the Ra’am Party, the political front of the Southern Branch of the Islamic Movement, is driving out of his party an MK who voiced doubts about reports of Hamas atrocities, it looks like the October 7th Black Shabbat Massacre was a definite learning experience for the Arab population of Israel as well as the Jews. [IsraelTimes] A recent friendly match between soccer teams from the Arab towns of Umm Al Fahm and Kafr Qasim began with a moment of silence for the victims of the October 7 Hamas![]() massacre, the Israel Football Association says. Association board member and Umm al-Fahm team owner Muhammad Abu Alam says in a statement that he jointly made the decision to hold a moment of silence along with his Kfar Qasim counterpart Bilal Badir. "Out of great pain that has not let up, we expressed the deep partnership and unity of all of us in a symbolic act of a minute’s silence in memory of the fallen. Wishing for better and beautiful days, for Arabs and Jews alike," says a statement from Abu Alam.
