Arab citizens of Israel claim that Israel’s security forces are suspiciously powerless when it comes to combatting violence in their communities.
The rampaging wave of violence and the lack of enforcement, sparked protests in Arab communities by citizens and political and local leaders all over Israel in the past few weeks.
Police say local leaders and residents must do more to help them impose law and order.
