The Lehava organization, which works to prevent assimilation, has been stirring up social media in the past two days, after publishing a call on the organization's Facebook page to prevent the wedding of Mahmoud Mansour, an Arab resident of Jaffa, to Morel Malka, which is scheduled to take place this coming Sunday in Rishon LeZion.
""Sunday, we are all on Sunday! A massacre has been committed in Israel! We are not silent, we are coming to protest. Come with signs and loudspeakers. In the name of God, we will do it and we will succeed! Share with everyone! Unfortunately, this is true," the organization's Facebook page wrote yesterday, along with a photo of the wedding invitation.
The post was published, among other things, through the new Facebook page of the Lehava organization called 'They Will Not Turn Off the Lehava'. This was after the organization's previous official page was removed by Facebook about two months ago, following an onslaught of user complaints about the organization, as an organization with racist motives, promoting incitement content.

This morning (Thursday), following an article published in the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, under the headline "Mixed Marriage Under Threats," the organization clarified that the plans are not changing.
""Again the media is encouraging assimilation! We will be there on Sunday night to show that the majority of the people are sane. And you?", it was written on the organization's Facebook page, with Benzi Gopstein standing first.
Journalist Akiva Novik's article reveals that, although the invitation was supposedly written in the name of the parents of the bride and groom, who are inviting the guests to their children's wedding, the bride's father - Yoram Malka - strongly opposes its existence.
The father made it clear to the reporter that he would not attend the wedding party: "She dated him for two years behind my back. In no way is it appropriate for my daughter to marry an Arab. His father tried to convince me to come, I told him I didn't want to hear from him. I can't accept that and I'm not coming.".
""I want my daughter to get married legally, with a rabbi to sanctify her. This is a disaster, this is sad. I told my daughter that I would give her whatever she wants, as long as she doesn't go with him — but she doesn't listen. It's impossible to talk to her.".
