"With blood and spirit we will liberate al-Aksa" chanted around 60,000 Arabs - who hold Israeli citizenship - at a rally sponsored by the northern branch of the Islamic Movement in the Umm el-Fahm soccer stadium on Friday night. Speakers at the event denounced the policies of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon as well as US president George Bush. The rally was held under the banner "Al-Aksa in Danger," referring to the mosque, which stands on the Temple Mount, Judaism’s holiest site. Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Israel Radio this morning that the Islamic Movement should be banned. He said that the group “is a cancerous growth…which threatens the Zionist character [of the State]."
