RISHON LEZION Israel (Reuters) - Israeli police on Sunday blocked more than 200 far-right Israeli protesters from rushing guests at a wedding of a Jewish woman and Muslim man as they shouted "death to the Arabs" in a sign of tensions stoked by the Gaza war.
Several dozen police, including members of the force's most elite units, formed human chains to keep the protesters from the wedding hall's gates and chased after many who defied them. Four protesters were arrested, and there were no injuries.
A lawyer for the couple, Maral Malka, 23, and Mahmoud Mansour, 26, both from the Jaffa section of Tel Aviv, had unsuccessfully sought a court order to bar the protest. He obtained backing for police to keep protesters 200 metres (yards) from the wedding hall in the Tel Aviv suburb of Rishon Lezion.
The protest highlighted a rise in tensions between Jewish and Arab citizens of Israel in the past two months amid a monthlong Gaza war, the kidnap and slaying of three Israeli teens in June followed by a revenge choking and torching to death of a Palestinian teen in the Jerusalem area.
A group called Lehava, which organized the wedding demonstration, has harassed Jewish-Arab couples in the past, often citing religious grounds for their objections to intermarriage. But they have rarely protested at the site of a wedding.
The groom told Israel's Channel 2 TV the protesters failed to derail the wedding or dampen its spirit. "We will dance and be merry until the sun comes up. We favor coexistence," he said.

That woman must be nuts.
Is she insane?
And/or be a self loathing Leftist. Just wait until she travels with him to visit his family somewhere in mohammedom and after burning her passport he introduces her to his other wife(s).
If the man would fight his arab brothers to defend Israel, and his wife. I don’t see the problem.
If the woman would don a hajib for him, then there is a problem.
There will always be a tension.
I hope that they will be happy together.
Meshuga.
HOW IS IT, THAT IN ALMOST EVERY CASE ARAB MEN MARRY JEWISH WOMEN...ONLY?
YOU NEVER SEE A JEWISH MAN MARRY AN ARAB WOMEN.
WHY IS THAT?
Judaism runs through the mother.
Islam runs through the father.
The Arab Muslim world (even in Jaffa, Israel) would NEVER permit their womenfolk to marry Jewish males, they would HONOR KILL HER so...
What does all this mean?
ONE WAY STREET, DOUBLE STANDARD, NO REAL CO-EISTANCE as long as ONLY Arab men marry Jewish women.
Even though I am opposed to this intermarriage, I will join the Bleeding heart (Peace Now) movement, when I see Jewish men marrying Arab Muslim women at the same ratio I see Arab men marrying Jewish women. THEN and ONLY THEN, will there be a “fair” balance.
We will ignore the fact that “progressive” Jewish women later on find themselves trapped living in an Arab village with an abusive husband but that's for another discussion...
Both the Jewish woman and her Muslim husband now have a set of crosshairs on them by the Palestinian and Hamas nut cases. Unfreaking believable.
She’s crazy; the “protesters” are jerks.
She must be really angry at her parents for something.
A Jewish version of the Westboro "Baptist" Church?
May every Democrat Jew in this country have their darling princess daughter bring home an unemployed Muslim man to meet mom and dad.
That would be the Neturei Karta, which isn’t to say that these guys aren’t jerks.
I think a good Wedding gift for her would be a DVD of the movie “Not Without My Daughter”. At worst, she may look at the in-laws a bit differently - at best, she may try to extricate herself from her dangerous attempt to show rebellion against her culture.
Talk about incompatibilities ...
LOL!
Sad enough that almost everybody in the world is Anti-Semitic, but to do this to yourself if you’re Jewish......!!!!!!
No self-hatred, like Jewish self-hatred it seems.
Indeed.
With respect to religious lineage, Islam is patriarchal and Judaism is matriarchal. They'll butt heads, eventually, if not immediately.
She married the enemy. The fact that she abandoned Judaism and Torah makes it even worse.
