you might attempt to convince me that this is only a case of a few misunderstood 'yuths' but i see it as no different from when the kkk ruled in this country especially during the twenties;
Far-right and ultra-Orthodox groups
have created a media storm over the arrest of five Jewish youths on
suspicion of carrying out “serious terror offenses,” including the
killing of a Palestinian woman last October.
The defence of the accused is being
used to stoke nationalist tensions in the run-up to the general election
on April 9, and to shift Israeli politics further to the right. All the
mainstream parties are complicit.
The five boys, students at the Pri
Ha’aretz yeshiva (religious seminary) in the Rehelim settlement in the
occupied West Bank, are accused of the stone-throwing attack on a
Palestinian car October 12 that killed Aisha Mohammed Rabi, 47, a mother
of nine, and injured her husband, Yacoub.
The past year saw a threefold increase
in racist attacks on Palestinians over 2017, with 482 politically
motivated crimes by Jews reported in the West Bank. These included
beating and throwing stones at Palestinians, painting nationalist,
anti-Arab or anti-Muslim slogans, damaging homes and cars, and cutting
down trees belonging to Palestinian farmers.
The murder and its aftermath highlight
the utter lawlessness and racism inherent in the Greater Israel project
from which the settler movement stems. Speaking to Ha’aretz
after the attack, Yacoub Rabi said, “I don’t have any doubt it was the
settlers. There were six or seven of them, and it was clear that they
were young.”
As is common in such stoning attacks,
the police dragged their feet over their investigation, to the extent
that few believed any action would be taken..........http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=182261
