Haifa's Arabs, Jews appear united against Hezbollah

Hezbollah attacks appears to have hardened support among Hiafa residents.

"This is a mixed city where Jews and Arabs live in harmony, but with Hezbollah we are being forced to deal with the trash of the Muslim world," said one of the muslim residents of Haifa.

Many Hezbollah rocket attacks have targeted both Jewish and Arab towns throughout northern Israel, including Acre, the ancient Crusader city of Richard the Lionheart and home to Arabs and Jews alike. One rocket hit the holy gardens of the Bahai Temple. There were no casualties.

Arab Israelis, who in the past have opposed Israeli army operations against Palestinians in the occupied territories and to Israel's previous occupation of Lebanon, express little sympathy for Hezbollah.

"Unlike previous conflicts between Israel and the Arabs, this time Israeli Arabs are sitting on the sidelines," said Palestinian affairs correspondent for the Jerusalem Post. "Hezbollah is not the Palestinians."
