    What can be done about the 130,000 Arabs living in homes in central Israel that can't be connected to electricity? This is what the fight over the Electricity Law is about. Hebrew media endlessly covers the coalition bickering. But the real policy issue is poorly understood >>

    Ayman Odeh and Mansour Abbas go on Arabic-language radio to tell Palestinian citizens of Israel to stay home so as not to be attacked, and call for Palestinian youth not to attack people or property.
