Rights and Accountability 7 July 2014
This occurred as Israelis gathered in Jerusalem on 5 July to chant “Death to the Arabs!” and “Death to leftists!” just days after Palestinian teenager Muhammad Abu Khudair was kidnapped and burned alive.
On Sunday, Israeli police arrested six “Jewish extremists” for the 2 July murder of Abu Khudair.
In Barkan’s video, members of the mob stop one taxi cab and ask the driver “Are you Jewish?” before letting him go.
They tell another driver “You’re also a Jew, don’t worry.”
One of the youths shouts “Let’s go to Musrara,” an area on the edge of eastern occupied Jerusalem where they might be likely to find more Palestinians.
“Give it to the Arabs, sons of bitches!” another shouts.
Israeli racists had used Facebook to call for similar rallies around the country.
Twitter users opposed to the protests monitored or commented on them using the hashtag #antifa972.Counter-demonstrations
In the face of the escalating incitement since the bodies of three abducted Israeli youths were found in the occupied West Bank one week ago, some Israelis have organized protests against racism.
Avgad Yavor posted this image of about two hundred people taking part in an anti-racism rally in Pardes Hana, near Haifa on Sunday. He said that across the street were some fifty opposing protestors whom he termed “Nazis.”

Jewish Brownshirts! Nazis! This should be forwarded to every network and cable news show, every Senator and Member of Congress. America should see what it is funding when it gives billions to Israel each year.
the nightmare past

Anyone familiar with Brownshirt activity in the streets of 30s Germany will have no difficulty recognizing the antecedents of this behavior. The southern lynchmobs of our own twenties and beyond join in the historic parade. It's far past time to call things by their real names.
