Seven Israeli teenagers were in custody on Monday, accused of what a police official and several witnesses described as an attempted lynching of several Palestinian youths, laying bare the undercurrent of tension in this ethnically mixed but politically divided city. A 15-year-old suspect standing outside court said, “For my part he can die, he’s an Arab.”
Two of the suspects were girls, the youngest 13, adding to the soul-searching and acknowledgment that the poisoned political environment around the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has affected the moral compass of youths growing up within it. “If it was up to me, I’d have murdered him,” the 15-year-old suspect told reporters outside court on Monday. “He cursed my mother.” The young man who was beaten unconscious, Jamal Julani, remained in the hospital.
"In the middle of Shabbat they came and detained me for no reason," said the 19-year-old suspected of aggravated assault during a brawl in Jerusalem, in which a 17-year-old Arab man was seriously injured.
The mother of the child, who lives in near Jerusalem, said her son is "a good boy and a little naughty." The mother noted that her 13-year-old son "doesn’t hate Arabs at all. When he came home he told me about the incident and he was really terrified. He said that the boy who was injured also has a mother who is crying for him."

Six people have been injured after a fire-bomb was thrown at a Palestinian taxi in the West Bank. Israeli officials said there were indications that Israeli civilians were behind the attack, which took place near the Jewish settlement of Bat Ayin. Palestinian medics said those hurt were all members of one family, among them the driver and two young children.
people can criticise all they like... but do you think that if a bunch of Palestinean kids had done something like this (and make no mistake, it's inexcusable) that they'd be hauled in and arrested? ...not so much, no. They'd probably name a street in their honour instead.

Of course the news reports when Israelis defend themselves. It's become so common place for Muslims to do so to us Jews that the only way a Muslim can make the news is by blowing up a busload.
In recent months there have been frequent reports of violent attacks and hate rallies against African migrants and refugees often led or incited by Israeli politicians. In March there was the mob attack by Jewish youths shouting “Death to the Arabs” on Arab workers at Malha Mall in southern Jerusalem. That mob attack was caught on video
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the lynching of an Arab youth by Jewish teens in Jerusalem on Tuesday. "This is something we cannot accept – not as Jews and not as Israelis," he said. "The State of Israel does not tolerate racism and the combination of racism and violence."
The victim, aged 17, is still hospitalized at the Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in serious condition. The prime minister said he had spoken to the hospital's director and inquired after the victims' condition. The prime minister made the statements before signing a treaty for the promotion of integration of Ethiopians in Israel and the prevention of racism and discrimination.
Where? Can't happen in Gaza as there are no longer any Israelis settled there. The West Bank? Palestinians, if they were so inclined, would find it very difficult to attack any of the settlements due to the IDF and heavily militarized nature of the settlements, not to say that it has never happened. Israel? I'm pretty sure they would be arrested.

Hamas Websites jubilant for their heroic ‘Mujahid’. More derangement and depravity from the Religion of the Perpetually Oppressed by Zionist Rapists™, as a Palestinian massacres family of five in their beds:
Five members of an Israeli family were killed Friday night when a suspected terrorist broke into their home in the West Bank settlement of Itamar and stabbed them all to death.
According to police, the suspect broke into the house armed with a knife and stabbed the mother, father and three children, aged 11, three and a three-month-old baby.

Itamar is home to some of the West Bank’s most fervent settlers.
In 2002 a terrorist broke into the home of the Shabo family in Itamar and shot the mother, Rachel, in the back. Then he shot Zvi, 13, and Avishai, 5, also in the back. After that, Neria, 16, was also shot dead.
The terrorist climbed up from the valley and without even cutting it, simply trampled down the fence. First he approached the neighbors’ house but the dog began barking and he turned instead to the Shabo family’s home. They were among the settlement’s founders. Boaz, the father, a printer by profession, was not at home. The older children – Yariv, 17, and Atara, 15 – were also out, visiting friends.
I think it's important to note that not only was it Israeli Jews that began this violence, but it was also an Israeli Jew that pulled the Arab boy to safety.
