[quote]Video has emerged from a shocking mob attack by hundreds of Israeli football fans on Arab workers and shoppers at the Malha Mall in western Jerusalem.The video shows a large crowd, some wearing the colors of the Jerusalem Beitar football team, whose fans are notorious for their ultra-nationalism and racism shouting “mavet la ‘aravim” – death to the Arabs – in Hebrew. The chant can be heard at [URL="http://youtu.be/d3_dty1oSz4#t=2m30s"]2:30[/URL]and [URL="http://youtu.be/d3_dty1oSz4#t=5m21s"]5:21[/URL] in the video. Haaretz reported on the mob attack earlier today – four days after the incident – in a story headlined “[URL="http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/hundreds-of-beitar-jerusalem-fans-beat-up-arab-workers-in-mall-no-arrests-1.420270"]Hundreds of Beitar Jerusalem fans beat up Arab workers in mall; no arrests[/URL]”: Hundreds of Beitar Jerusalem supporters assaulted Arab cleaning personnel at the capital’s Malha shopping center on Monday, in what was said to be one of Jerusalem’s biggest-ever ethnic clashes. “It was a mass lynching attempt,” said Mohammed Yusuf, a team leader for Or-Orly cleaning services. [B]Despite CCTV footage of the events, no one was arrested.[/B] Jerusalem police said that is because no complaint was filed. Witnesses said that after a soccer game in the nearby Teddy Stadium, [B]hundreds of mostly teenage supporters flooded into the shopping center, hurling racial abuse at Arab workers and customers and chanting anti-Arab slogans, and filled the food hall on the second floor. [/B] “I’ve never seen so many people,” said A, a shopkeeper. “They stood on chairs and tables and what have you. [B]They made a terrible noise, screamed ‘death to the Arabs,’[/B] waved their scarves and sang songs at the top of their voices.” Shortly afterward, [B]several supporters started harassing three Arab women, who sat in the food hall with their children. They verbally abused and spat on them. [/B] Some Arab men, who work as cleaners at the shopping center and observed the brawl, came to their rescue. “How can you stand aside and do nothing?” said Akram, a resident of the Old City’s Muslim Quarter who was one of the cleaners who got involved. CCTV footage shows that they started chasing the rioting youths, wielding broomsticks. [B]It seemed the workers managed to chase the abusers away, but a few minutes later supporters returned and assaulted them. “They caught some of them and beat the hell out of them,” said Yair, owner of a bakery located in the food hall.[/B] [B]“Death to the Arabs” chant common[/B] Unchecked racism against Arabs is endemic in Israeli soccer. “In the late 1990s and onwards, ‘Death to the Arabs’ became a common chant in almost every football [soccer] stadium in Israel” wrote Amir Ben-Porat, a professor in the Department of Behavioral Sciences at Ben Gurion University [URL="http://www.thejerusalemfund.org/ht/display/ContentDetails/i/2242/pid/v"]in an academic article I quoted in a piece I wrote in 2008[/URL]. Ben-Porat, who authored a study on the use of the chant, says that because of the importance of soccer in Israeli society and its high profile in the media, “This chant is heard far beyond the stadium” (Amir Ben-Porat, “Death to the Arabs: the right-wing fan’s fear,” [I]Soccer & Society,[/I] Vol. 9, No. 1, January 2008, pp. 1-13). On last year’s “Jerusalem Day,” an Israeli government sponsored ultra-nationalist festival, hordes of Israeli youths were also [URL="http://electronicintifada.net/blog/maureen/video-israeli-police-wrestle-us-citizen-ground-put-knee-his-neck#statesponsored"]caught on video marching through eastern occupied Jerusalem chanting “Death to the Arabs” and “Muhammad is dead.”[/URL] The shocking incident at Malha Mall is an indicator of how far it has spread.

Lynch them all.
Mass Rehabilitation. Or Mass Prison Sentences!
[QUOTE=AceOfDivine;35271397]Lynch them all.[/QUOTE] is this supposed to be a joke
Both sides have idiots in them. Some Israelis think they have a right to alienate another people and some Palestinians think the right answer is to kill people (that was the motive of that one guy who killed kids in a jewish school and several army men in France a few days ago).

I hated how the news portrayed it liked it was an attack on the Western world when three Moroccan muslims were murdered too; and they hardly get any mention in the news to retain the 'religious extremist' factor.
Israelis - the only truly barbaric nation with strong and direct endorsement by the west world.

And no he's not just a crazy guy, when he was younger he did crimes, then went over to Afghanistan where he was "indoctrinated" if you can say that, and had to come back to France because he was sick. When he was back in his neighborhood he was walking around in an uniform with a sword and started killing people later on. He even claimed himself to be part of Al Qaeda.

I agree with you that both sides have idiots - but we don't consider Al Qaeda to be the 'muslim side'. Al Qaeda represents Islam as much as the LRA in Central Africa represents Christianity. It's one guy taking advantage of the masses and making them die for his own selfish cause. I just wish the line was drawn a little more clearly so Arabs wouldn't have to take the heat for things they despise just as much as the Western world does. It's even worse when a Christian Arab has to suffer because of this. [editline]24th March 2012[/editline] They were shopping/working in Israel for fucks sake. How could they, in any way be connected to the people who try to eliminate it?

Wow let's hope my grandparents don't find out about this, they were actually driven out of palestine at a young age and were forced to start life again with no money. The don't need another reason to hate Israelis
I hope you guys understand that it's a group of football fans. Note "football fans". They're not really known to be reasonable anywhere on the planet.

Everyone's aware this represents a select group of people, the issue here is how hate crime in Israel largely goes unpunished if it's perpetrated by Jews against Arabs.
Or by Soccer fans. You gonna arrest every single one of those guys? The judicial system is more democratic than idealists would like, see To Kill a Mockingbird. It happens because that is the way the general public feel, not actively and obviously most would never lynch someone, but they turn a blind eye to it. If you think it's something isolated in Israel or want to go all >2012 ISHYGDDT as if everyone not up to our standard is barbaric, you don't have to look far to see it elsewhere. All of it comes from one group hates the other, and in response the second group hates the first. You yell death to Arabs, they yell death to Jews. Maybe Iran should invade using Jordan as a Belgium so they can both yell death to Persians.
Fucking jews (only Zionists)

[QUOTE=Splendor;35272647]Some would argue that the real issue is Arabs in Israel.[/QUOTE] The only "issue" of Palestinians to Israel is their existence. Illegal settlement expansions and the various unnecessary military operations speak for themselves.

[QUOTE=Splendor;35272738]Some would argue that the Arabs that you refer to as Palestinians are really squatting on Israeli land.[/QUOTE] "Arabs that I refer to as Palestinians" are the group of people who come from the land that was known as Palestine from the 5th century BC to around 60 years ago. I personally feel that the "Ashkenazi Europeans you call Israelis" is more appropriate. And if living in a space of land that has been your family's home for generations before it's taken is considered squatting then it's not really the Palestinians that are the problem, is it?
