NAZARETH - Israel's transport minister, Avigdor
Lieberman, continues to make racist statement against
Palestinians.

After presenting a plan to expel 90 per cent of Arab
Israelis, in which he asked the Israeli prime minister
to prepare the ground for such expulsions from their
lands, he came up yesterday with yet another racist
outburst as the Israeli daily, Yadhout Ahronot, quoted
him as saying that most Arab Israelis have been
contributing, in the last few years, in all areas of
'terrorism' against Israel.

In another incitement step against Arab Israelis, a
military correspondent of the Israeli Army Radio said
that, according to official report in her possession,
more than 200 young Israeli women convert to Islam
every year and leave to stay in Arab towns, villages
and societies after getting married to Arab Israelis.

The reporter said this phenomenon was on the increase
in recent years, which has aroused grave concern among
Jewish religious organisations who are calling for a
move to convince those young women to return to
Judaism and end their marital relations with their
Muslim and Arab husbands.
