Police out in force as extremists protest Arab-Jewish wedding | JPost | Israel News
Several dozen police officers were on hand in Rishon Letzion on Sunday evening to keep the peace as a group of at least 200 right-wing extremists protested near a wedding between an Arab man and a Jewish woman in the city.
The Rishon Lezion Magistrate's Court ruled on Sunday that the group "Lehava" could protest the event, but at a location 200 meters from the wedding hall, chosen by the police.
Officer Ami Ben-David, spokesman for the Central District said that the deployment would be "more than a few dozen officers but less than hundreds," adding that they would include police from the special YASSAM patrol unit and Border Police officers.
The couple has also hired 14 security guards for the wedding celebration, reportedly at a cost of tens of thousands of shekels.
As the wedding approached on Sunday, President Reuven Rivlin posted a status on his Facebook page wishing peace and joy to the couple, Mahmoud Mansour and Morel Malka, on the occasion of their marriage.
The couple met five years ago. Mahmoud is a Muslim Arab whose family is from Jaffa and Morel was born Jewish but recently converted to Islam.
Both the bride and the groom have been subjected to harassment, as has the owner of the Rishon Lezion wedding hall where the couple is scheduled to wed. The bride’s father was opposed to the marriage, but could do nothing to persuade his daughter to change her mind.

Just want to make clear, these aren't 'extremists'. The majority of Israeli's share the same views.
