Police Bow To Fear

Here's the letter I just wrote to the Jerusalem Post concerning the banning of Baruch Marzel from Umm el-Fahm.
Your editorial speaks of a "Our broken system " and your news says: "Police: Marzel can't enter Umm el-Fahm."
That's what's broken. Arabs in Israel don't have to obey the same laws as Jews. I hope that none of the votes from Umm el-Fahm will be counted, because if the police can't protect Baruch Marzel, it certainly can't protect voting laws. We will never know what really happens in those polling stations, because the "observers" fear for their lives.
The police fear for their lives.
Law and order have broken down in Israel.
Mounted police can attack youth defending Jewish homes and communities. The army and police can be mobilized to uproot people from their homes, communities, schools and business.
But when it comes to clean elections, the police run in fear.
How can we teach our youth to respect the law, when law enforcers don't?
It is clear that there is no rule of law in the Arab sector, and if that's the case, none of their votes should be counted.
