Israeli media incites once again against Adhan

Sunday 1-October-2017

The Israeli media has resumed its incitement campaign against Mosques and Adhan (call to prayer) in Israel and Occupied Jerusalem.

Hebrew news websites claimed that Palestinian Mosques caused a disturbance to Jewish citizens in Israel and Jerusalem during the holiday of Yom Kippur.

The pro-settler website 0404 said the Mosques in Jerusalem Jaffa Nazareth Deir al-Assad and other Arab areas of Israel did not stop “screaming” (its label for calling to prayer) claiming the Mosques intentionally disturbed the Jews and annoyed them during their Yom Kippur celebrations.

The website added that Jewish citizens in Nazareth city accused the Arabs of causing sounds of gunfire on purpose in order to scare them on Yom Kippur days.

The website incited the Israeli police to take action to prevent Mosques from causing such noises pointing to the Israeli legislation that prohibited last March the use of loudspeakers overnight at Mosques in Israel and Jerusalem.

At the time the law was widely condemned by local and international parties as a racist and illegal step targeting Muslims in particular.

Mosque Imams and Muezzins also rejected the new ban on Adhan and they still continue to use loudspeakers to call to prayer.
