Right-wing activists plan to submit a number of petitions to the High Court of Justice, seeking to hold marches in a number of Arab municipalities, in the Nachal I�ron (Wadi Ara) area, Taibeh, Nazareth, Abu Isa, Baka Gharbiya and Sachknin to name a few.

The petitioners plan to tell the High Court that if the to�eva parade is permitted in the heart of Yerushalayim, the Jewish capital, despite the pain the event brings to a majority of the city, there is no reason that Jews should not be permitted to march in Israeli Arab municipalities.

MK (Ichud HaLeumi) Dr. Michael Ben-Ari stated that since High Court Justice Ayala Procaccia spoke of encouraging such events in response to the to�eva parade, he said the same liberal hand should be exhibited to Jews seeking to march in areas of Eretz Yisrael.

Ben-Ari stated this is basic right in a democratic society, emphasizing it is not intended as a provocation, but to make the point vis-�-vis the to�eva parade.

Ben-Ari stated that walking with an Israeli flag should not be viewed a provocative in Eretz Yisrael, and Justice Procaccia should encourage such events not frown upon them.
