Palestinian citizens of Israel commemorate past massacres as Knesset member warns of impending ‘explosion’

Thousands of Palestinians participated in a march on Wednesday in Israel commemorating the 58th anniversary of the Kafr Qasim massacre, amid a comprehensive strike across the city. Thousands marched to remember the deaths of nearly 50 Palestinian citizens of Israel shot dead in 1956 when a curfew was imposed on the village with no warning, a memory that evokes strong feelings in the 1.2 million strong Arab community.
