Libel: Israel spreads weapons among Israeli Arabs “to subdue the Palestinians” – Israeli Arab journalist

Israeli Arab journalist Suheil Diab: "There is a[n Israeli] political force that supports the spread of weapons in the Palestinian public in Israel so one can kill the other. [It is] for purely political reasons, led by [Israeli] Minister of National Security Ben Gvir, with the support of [Israeli Prime Minister] Netanyahu and the extremist government… Since the 1948 Nakba, Israel has tried to subdue the Palestinians in Israel through various means… In the 1980s, Israel introduced sectarian hatred between Muslims, Christians, and Druze, but they did not succeed. They were forced to use another means to subdue the Palestinians in the Interior (i.e., Palestinian term for Israel) and prevent them from helping their people on the major causes, by spreading crime and supplying weapons so that an Arab would kill an Arab."
