A good Jew hates Arabs

The horrifying quote from one of the teenage suspects, that Julani, nearly beaten to death, „could die for all I care – he‘s an Arab,“ is not a result of the occupation. It‘s an inseparable part of the culture, which may have been fashioned somewhat by the occupation. But to hate Arabs and to want them dead; to stand aside, as dozens of passersby did in this case without intervening; to arrest a sick Palestinian, as one policeman has done, and leave him to die – that‘s already a worldview.
