3, December 2021 Focusing on the rights of minorities and effective early prevention of conflicts by Aya Manaa Good morning Madam moderator, special rapporteur, panelists, state representatives, minority representatives and colleagues,  The Palestinian minority in Israel is suffering from a daily homicide, crimes and violations are operating under a very little intervention of law enforcement bodies and with a cover of the judicial systems and due to decades of neglect of crime in the Palestinian community in Israel.  Homicides among the Palestinian minority are about 70 percent of all Israeli homicides, though we represent around 20 percent of the population. The surging crime has reached alarming figures this year with 117 victims among them 15 women, the last victim was killed yesterday morning - 28 year Mohamed Hamza Borgul (‫ )محمد حمزة برغل‬from Umalfahim city ‫مدينة ام الفحم‬  Our people, especially women and kids lost their sense of safety, instead anger and rage live side by side with sorrow and sadness in our community.  On October 1st2019, my two cousins (Ahmad and Khalil) were shot dead in the day light in my village (Majd el Kurum ‫ مجد الكروم‬in the Galilee north of Israel), today, 2 years later this crime is still not solved, this is due to the police and the judicial system neglection when the victim belongs to the Palestinian minority. As a matter of fact, fewer than a quarter of the cases have been solved, due to both police indifference and minority’s distrust of the police.  Ladies and gentlemen, how would we think about culture, education and development, when we feel unsafe and live under a constant threat of homicides?  Studies prove that welfare and equality reduce crimes, unfortunately different minorities are suffering from similar grievances and atrocities and lack of inclusiveness and equality.  During May this year and after demonstrations which took place in most of our villages, mass arrests were conducted within "Operation Law and Order", Israeli police have arrested more than 2200 Palestinian citizens of Israel, the majority of whom were released from custody without any charges filed, the law enforcement officials use of force against demonstrators was excessive and disproportionate.  These events among others have been reported to the special rapporteur on minority issues Mister. Fernand de Vareness, and am thankful for your letter from the 1st June titled “Israel: Violence, hate speech, discrimination against Palestinian minority most stop”  Such patterns my friends, patterns of discrimination among other human rights breaches, must be addressed to prevent future interstate conflicts.  I would like to remind us distinguished participants and minority representatives that although our rights are embedded in the Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities and in several other different UN conventions and instruments, we have also to support each other causes and be aware of
