HeadlineMay 13, 2021

Violence is also spreading across Israel, with Jewish mobs attacking Palestinians in mixed Jewish and Arab communities. Extremist Israeli settlers were filmed attacking Palestinian-owned shops in a Tel Aviv suburb. Another harrowing video shows ultranationalist Israelis dragging a man they believed to be an Arab from his car and beating him mercilessly. Some settlers were filmed on live television chanting “Death to Arabs.” Israeli media compared the violence to lynchings. After headlines, we’ll spend the rest of the hour on the violence in Israel and Palestine.
