The head of the Islamic Movement in Israel's
Northern Branch, Ra'ad Salah, was charged Tuesday in Jerusalem Magistrate's
Court with incitement to violence and racism, over a fiery speech he gave a year
ago in which he invoked the blood libel.

During the speech at the
February 16, 2007 protest in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Wadi Joz, Salah
accused Jews of using children's blood to bake bread.

"We have never
allowed ourselves to knead [the dough for] the bread that breaks the fast in the
holy month of Ramadan with children's blood," he said. "Whoever wants a more
thorough explanation, let him ask what used to happen to some children in
Europe, whose blood was mixed in with the dough of the [Jewish] holy bread."

"Great God, is this a religion?" he asked. "Is this
what God would want? God will deal with you yet for what you are doing."

The rally was called to protest the planned Mughrabi bridge construction
in Jerusalem's Old City. Addressing the 1,000-strong crowd and assembled press,
Salah accused Israel of attempting to rebuild the Jewish Temple on the Temple
Mount while drenched in Arab blood.

"Whoever wants to build a house of
God should not do so while our blood is still on his clothes, on his doorposts,
in his food, in his drink, being passed along from one terrorist general to the
next terrorist general," he said.

"You are inciting against us, do not
let the ranks on your shoulders tempt you," he continued. "These ranks and stars
on your shoulders were made from the skulls of our martyrs. They are ranks of
shame, not ranks of splendor. These are ranks of disgrace, not ranks of honor."

Following the speech and Friday prayers, the crowd began rioting and
throwing stones at police. According to the prosecution, Salah's speech
constituted a "call to commit acts of violence and encouragement of acts of
violence, which given the content and context, there was a real possibility that
it could lead to acts of violence."

The prosecution said Salah made the
remarks "with the objective of inciting racism."

In an interview with
Ashams radio, Salah said in response that, "I am willing to repeat before the
court all the things I said at the Friday sermon in Wadi Joz or any other
meeting with journalists."

"Our statements are the products of
conviction, and I will not recant," he continued.

Salah said the
decision to indict him, along with Sunday's decision to close the case against
officers involved in the deaths of 13 Israeli Arabs in the October 2000 riots,
was part of an attempt to pressure and threaten Israeli Arab society. "They want
us to be good little boys," he said.

Salah was released from prison in
2005 after serving some two years for having contact with a foreign agent, as
well as financial crimes related to the Islamic Movement.
