The October 2000 events were a series of protests in Arab villages in northern Israel in October 2000 that turned violent, escalating into rioting by Israeli Arabs throughout Israel, which led to counter-rioting by Israeli Jews and clashes with the Israel Police and ending in the deaths of 13 Arab demonstrators.〔(The Or Inquiry - Summary of Events ), Haaretz Nov. 19, 2001〕〔Dan Rabinowitz, ('October 2000, revisited,' ) Haaretz 19 October 2004〕 Most of the Israeli riots took place towards the end, between 7–9 October.〔 The Or Commission was established to investigate the police response to the rioting. Israeli media outlets refer to the episode as ''אירועי אוקטובר 2000'' - the "October 2000 events" while Arab community refers to it as (هبة أكتوبر) the "October ignition." ==Background== In September 2000, tensions between the police and Israel's Arab citizens rose. On September 12, Israel Police Northern District Commander Alik Ron requested an investigation of Hadash MK Mohammad Barakeh for inciting violence against police. At a meeting of the High Follow-up Committee for Arab citizens in Israel the next day in Kafar Manda, United Arab List's MK Abdulmalik Dehamshe declared: "We will beat or forcefully attack any policeman and we will break his hands if he comes to demolish an Arab house … we are on the verge of an Intifada among Israel’s Arabs following Alik Ron’s incitement." On September 14, Nazareth declared a general strike protesting "police incompetence in handling violence and crime" after the murder of a local resident, Nabieh Nussier, 52.〔 On September 30, the High Follow-up Committee called on the Arab community to mount a general strike to protest the killings of five Palestinians by Israeli police in the Jerusalem clashes of the previous day, which many consider the first day of the Second Intifada. Demonstrations in Arab towns in northern Israel began to spread after repeated airings of news footage showing the alleged shooting death of 12-year-old Muhammad al-Durrah, who was said to have been caught in the crossfire between Israeli forces and Palestinian militia.〔('Who Shot Mohammed al-Dura?' ) by James Fallows, The Atlantic Monthly〕〔“Three Bullets and a Dead Child” by Esther Schapira (German TV)〕〔('The mysteries and passions of an iconic video frame' by Doreen Carvajal ), ''International Herald Tribune'', Monday, February 7, 2005. - "The footage of the father and son under attack lasts several minutes but does not clearly show the child's death."〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「October 2000 events」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
