Balad chairman MK Sami Abu Shehadeh refused to condemn the violent riot that broke out between the Arab residents of Jaffa and the police, following the attack on the head of the yeshiva in the city's mixed Ajami neighborhood.
"There are the victims, which are Jaffa's Arab population which was attacked, and then there are the ones who make themselves look as the victims, which are the settlers who came to attack and provoke," Abu Shehadeh.
