A Jewish resident of Nazareth has been indicted for incitement on Facebook against Arabs.
The rare indictment was filed Wednesday in the Nazareth Magistrate’s Court against Meir Borenstein, 26, by the Northern District Attorney’s Office.

Borenstein is one of the first Jews to be charged with racist incitement and incitement to violence against Arabs on Facebook.
The charges stem from his posts in 2013 and 2014 calling on Jews to “break everything of theirs, their cars, their iPhones, their teeth… let’s start our own intifada,” and to kidnap Arabs.
