It's time for the Israeli government to see crime and mafia gangs as an issue for Israeli society as a whole.

All Its Citizens Party – A Statement to the Public

The All Citizens Party strengthens the hands of Arab society in its decision to hold a general strike today, Thursday, and in its decision to hold a nationwide demonstration in the city of Sakhnin this afternoon, and calls on its members, friends, and supporters to participate in the demonstration and support the struggle of citizens and their right to personal and economic security.

It is time for the Israeli government to see crime and mafia gangs as an issue for Israeli society as a whole, threatening its security, its economy, and the trust of its citizens in the state and its institutions. The silence and indifference that the police demonstrate in the face of hundreds of murders each year in Arab society are evidence of an official policy of the Minister of National Security and the police leadership, motivated by racist and nationalist motives against 20% of the citizens of the State of Israel. This alone is enough for us to demand the overthrow of the current government and its replacement, along with other reasons that are already difficult to list.

The government must declare organized and unorganized crime in the country as a national issue, requiring the mobilization of resources, budgets, and coordinated forces to eradicate it, and to put an end to the bloodshed and disasters from which the entire population of the country suffers.

The state must act with complete and fair equality toward all its citizens, all its communities, and every group within it.
