Two Jewish youths charged with shooting at Arabs during Safed clashes
http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/two-jewish-youths-charged-with-shooting-at-arabs-during-safed-clashes-1.322147

snip - According to the indictment, Rubenstein and Elmakis were strolling through the city when they came upon three local girls. Elmakis was carrying his army-issued M-16 rifle at the time.

As the two groups met, an Arab driver sped past them. The girls told Elmakis and Rubeinstein that they were worried that the local Arabs had "taken over the city."

snip - The mass group of Jewish youths began shouting "death to Arabs", "stinking Muslims" and "a Jew has a soul and an Arab is a son-of-a-bitch" at the house. They began throwing bottles and stones at the student housing.

1. Yes. Both groups are taught the other group is sub-human.
It's a common tactic to make it easier to kill your enemy. Been quite a success in the region.

Oh wait. Your point is only Jews behave like this and think this.

What interests me is that the kids were arrested and charged.

One shot fired. Nobody hit.

I'm gonna guess it was the Israelis who arrested the idiots. We don't hear much about Arabs arresting Arabs for this kind of thing. Because, of course, they never do anything to hurt Israelis or Jews.

And there is no reason for Israeli apartments to come with bomb shelters. Yet they do.

2. Yes you are correct...
about how hatred is taught to people since young and constantly reinforced by their bigot parents who hate their enemies more than they love their children in order to continue the hatred. Happens on both sides. However this posting is about an incident that Jews did to the Arabs. There are many other stories about the reverse, but not this one. Just because one posting is about an incident in which the Jewish side are the provocateurs is not antisemitism and your attempts to throw mud on the OP is unwarranted unless the OP is lying. In this case the OP is simply acting the role of messenger.

And above all else, you need to take a chill pill. Or perhaps a few.

3. Do Arabs have their own police force in Israel?
You are the one making huge assumptions. Are Israeli Arabs allowed to serve in the police force? Is your assumption that being Israeli is only jewish?

My point, seeing that it slipped your grasp totally in the fog of victimhood, is that there is discrimination and hatred on both sides - visceral deep rooted hatred. I was going to suggest that the current leadership is feeding this with its loyalty oath, with Lieberman's grand idea of cutting out parts of Israel that had large populations of Arab citizens - but I decided to let the article stand on its own and speak for itself. You are correct - both sides feed the hatred instead of fighting against it.

And once again, you miss the point - it is Israeli pitted against Israeli. You have rabbi's publically stating that Arab Israeli's should not be allowed to rent apartments to go to school. Oh wait - does that mean that Arab Israeli's are not valued enough as citizens to be able to have their own bomb shelter?

The state of Israel is a rich colorful, varied society. That is its strength. That is what makes it special.
