Leave haifa

So Sheikh Nasrallah has urged all Israeli Arabs out of Haifa. Michael Rubin notes that it recalls past calls

Revisionist nonsense (thoroughly debunked here) aside, it was such calls by populist Arab leaders back in 1948 that led many Palestinians to make the greatest mistake of their lives. Seems Nasrallah wishes history to repeat, although most Israeli Arabs are not so willing to forsake life in a democracy for the alternative.

(Even before I clicked on the link "here" I had guessed that the link pointed to something by Efraim Karsh.)

I guess he has to order them out because he really can't guarantee their safety as Israel Matzav reports

A Hezbullah Katyusha rocket has killed a woman and an infant girl in the Israeli Arab village of Dir el-Assad near Karmiel.
