When Israel's military aggression against Palestinians becomes civilian aggression

Violence against Palestinians is no longer reserved for Israeli soldiers or settlers, who still justify their actions with “security.” The young Israelis who have been attacking Palestinians, unprovoked, on the streets of Western, educated, democratic Israel, have no such excuse.

A resident of Jaffa beaten viciously by Jews by the Tel Aviv beach, a young Palestinian woman attacked while waiting for the Jerusalem light rail, a man assaulted by the Sea of Galilee, a waiter in Tel Aviv, the list goes on and on. All of these Palestinians are victims of hate crimes and racist violence committed by Jewish Israelis across Israel.

But there is also a woman in East Jerusalem, Ruba Odeh, who suffered a serious injury to her jaw after being shot by a Border Policeman on the roof of her own home in Silwan with a foam-tipped plastic bullet. Or 13-year old Mohammed al-Kurdi, wounded by IDF fire in the Aida refugee camp near Bethlehem. Or 23-year old Mohammed Asfour, who died Thursday from his wounds after being shot in the head two weeks ago during a West Bank demonstration in solidarity with the 4,593 Palestinian prisoners currently held in Israeli jails.

1. Hard to keep track of all the BS in this article

In this writer's paragraph listing "bad things Jews done" there are only links provided to a few of the incidents.

In one, the attackers attacked two women - one of whom was a Jewish Israeli - but only the other warrants a mention in the paragraph.

In another, the attackers were Ethiopian. Maybe someone at 972mag can write an article singling out a few examples of violent crimes committed by Ethiopians in Israel and similarly extrapolate conclusions to that entire community.

Once you have you lens, you can either suit events to fit your framing.

3. "Where are the official condemnations?

Where is the public outrage? Why hasn’t any senior government or military official come out unequivocally against what can only be deemed a steady decimation of Palestinian civilians?
