| | + | The real cause of the attacks is not barriers at the entrance to the Nablus Gate nor the violence of the police, but the public atmosphere on the Arab street - Instead of taking responsibility, the automatic response of the Arab leadership in Israel is to blame the Jewish institutions. |
| | + | |
| | + | A few weeks ago, Eli Rosen went for a walk with his dog on Shmuel Hanavi Street in Jerusalem, ostensibly for another regular walk, when a group of several dozen young Israeli Arabs recognized him and started shouting "Yahud, Yahud." The young men beat him on all sides with iron bars, kicking all over his body. Eli's only "crime" was being a Jew. Two vertebrae were broken and he suffered severe bleeding. The fact that he survived is a miracle. |
| | + | The real cause of this attack is not barriers at the entrance to the Nablus Gate nor police violence, but the public atmosphere on the Arab street. The first incident of the round of riots we are experiencing at this time was uploaded by a young Arab to the TikTok network. In the shocking documentation, reminiscent of dark periods in Jewish history, the attacker approached a yeshiva boy and beat him violently, to the joyous joy of his friends cheering him from behind. And what is the fault of the yeshiva guy? Just being a Jew. |
| | + | |
| | + | Try to imagine the opposite situation - a young Jew would upload a video to Tiktok, when he approached an Arab guy, whose only sin was that he was riding a bus, and hit him hard in the face, to the sound of his friends rejoicing. What was the reasonable reaction in Jewish society to such a case? Deep shock is likely. The Israeli media was tumultuous, and rightly so. The condemnations of politicians would come from the right and the left, and with them the questions would begin to arise, what in education and discourse in our society causes weeds to act racistly. |
| | + | |
| | + | This response of society is correct and important; This is a response that reflects an aversion to violence, and rightly so for a reformed civil society. Knowing that anyone who behaves racistly and violently towards Arabs will be condemned and condemned on all sides, prevents extremists and violent people from realizing their desires. |
| | + | |
| | + | But the tiktok video that brutally beat a man who committed a crime for actually being a Jew was not condemned, and the Palestinian media did not bring up shocking and disgusting articles. On the contrary - he received positive and encouraging responses from all sides. What fuels the violence of the rioters who seek opportunity to harm Jews is public legitimacy. The perpetrators of the riots are not the rioters, as they are only the end product of broad public conduct in which Palestinian teachers, parents, politicians, artists and media outlets legitimize violence. |
| | + | |
| | + | Arab Knesset members choose to remain silent |
| | + | |
| | + | When thousands of Arab rioters search in the street for potential Jewish victims, Arab Knesset members, instead of condemning murderous racism, instead of asking what in our society's discourse legitimizes violence and racism, they simply choose to remain silent, and in some cases even back the rioters. |
| | + | |
| | + | It is important to understand that responses such as "we are against violence on both sides" or "it is the police who create the violence" constitute overt support for the attackers and their encouragement to hunt down the next Jew. Instead of taking responsibility, the automatic response of the Arab leadership in Israel is to blame the Jewish institutions, thereby actually justifying and backing up the violence. Whoever attacks others because of their race, whoever throws bricks and irons, thereby endangering the lives of policemen, must not explain what the "justification" for his actions is; It must first be condemned and any other response is support for violence. |
| | + | Those responsible for harming the Jews who are being attacked and for harming the Arab rioters who are attacking are first and foremost the Arab Knesset members who to this day have filled their mouths with water, and even now they have decided to respond in most cases unwillingly, and of course all those Israeli bodies that legitimized the violent racism of those MKs. |
| | + | |
| | + | Anyone who sees extreme and murderous violence against people whose main "crime" is actually being Jews, and does not go out of their way to combat this phenomenon, is dark and racist. This is true ... also when it comes to a gynecologist or dentist dressed in a suit and speaking in high and beautiful language.</font></blockquote></ref> |

| | + | A sharp indictment was filed against three Arabs from the east of the city who lynched Aviah Antman - two of them were indicted for attempting to set fire to a bus near the Naomi Shemer tunnel with Molotov cocktails that only luckily did not hit the bus - the three were arrested until the end of the proceedings. |
| | + | |
| | + | The State Attorney's Office filed an indictment in the Jerusalem District Court last Sunday against Omar Jaber (25), Ashraf Jaber (24) and Yusef Jaber (18), residents of East Jerusalem, for involvement in a lynching of Aviah Antman, shortly after he proposed Marriage to his partner in Beit Hachoshen in the At-Tur neighborhood. Two of them are accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at a bus after the Mount Scopus tunnel, and only luckily the bus was not hit or caught on fire. |
| | + | |
| | + | The three are accused of a terrorist act of aggravated intentional sabotage, rioting and intentional sabotage a vehicle, racially motivated. The prosecution requested that their detention be extended until the end of the proceedings, and the court granted the request. |
| | + | |
| | + | According to the indictment, on the evening of May 9, Antman arrived with his partner, Shachar Cohen, at the Hoshen House on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, where he proposed marriage to her. The two then continued their journey towards the Beit Orot neighborhood in the city, and around eight o'clock in the evening when they reached the a-Tor junction, some rioters who recognized that they were Jews - started running after the vehicle while shouting "Settler, son of a b#tch." |
| | + | |
| | + | The three defendants, who were driving in front of the couple's vehicle, heard the shouts and understood that they were Jews. Defendant Omar, who was driving the vehicle, suddenly braked and blocked the couple's vehicle to prevent them from continuing their journey, so that the rioters could attack them "for ideological-nationalist motives because they were Jews," the indictment said. The rioters began throwing stones at the couple while inside the vehicle, breaking its rear window. |
| | + | |
| | + | At one point Aviah got out of the vehicle and was caught by the rioters, who beat him all over his body while he was lying on the floor. Defendants Omar and Yusef also joined them. At the same time, Shahar also escaped from the vehicle, hid behind another vehicle and called the police. During the incident Avia was beaten using a police checkpoint, sticks, a sharp object and even a full axle can that hit his head. This is in addition to the slaps, punches and kicks he received on all parts of his body. Defendant Ashraf remained in the vehicle at the time of the incident, and later entered the driver’s seat and moved it. |
| | + | |
| | + | The indictment states that Aviah finally managed to escape from the rioters and return to his vehicle, then drove to the nearby Beit Orot neighborhood and called the border forces. As a result of the attack he sustained numerous bruises and two stab wounds in the back. |
| | + | |
| | + | Defendants Ashraf and Yusef Jaber are charged with additional offenses they committed in another incident that occurred two days later. They are charged with a terrorist act of attempted arson, action with a weapon for terrorist purposes, throwing or firing a stone or object at a vehicle, intentionally sabotaging out of a racist motive and an act of terrorism with aggravated intentional sabotage. |

| | + | Molotov cocktails on a bus in a tunnel |
| | + | |
| | + | The indictment states that on May 11, around 9 pm, the two met at the Flower Gate in Jerusalem, together with another person, Fares Jaber. The three planned to throw stones and Molotov cocktails at an Egged bus traveling in the direction of Ma'ale Adumim and passing on the main street below the At-Tur neighborhood, "in order to set it on fire out of nationalist-ideological motives, due to being a Jewish company bus and to harm Jewish passengers using the bus." In the indictment. |
| | + | |
| | + | The three went to Yusef's house, and on the way collected glass bottles they found. When they arrived at the house, Yusef filled the bottles with gasoline from a generator in his house, and packed them with glue. The three set off after leaving their cell phones at home so they could not be traced through locations. |
| | + | |
| | + | The indictment states that the three marched in masked clothes on the road to Ma'ale Adumim in the direction of the a-Za'im checkpoint, when they noticed two tires on the way. Fares placed them on the road in order to slow down the movement of vehicles and allow the stones and Molotov cocktails to be thrown at them. At around ten o'clock at night, an Egged bus passed by, where an Arab citizen was driving and between 10 and 15 passengers were traveling on it. |
| | + | |
| | + | After crossing the Naomi Shemer tunnel and noticing the burning tires, the driver slowed down, instructing the passengers to lie down on the floor. The defendants threw large stones at the bus and threw Molotov cocktails. One of the bottles hit the right side of the bus, fell to the floor and did not catch fire. The other two hit the ground.</font></blockquote></ref> |

| | + | Three also indicted for beating Jewish man in Acre. |
| | + | |
| | + | 5 defendants are residents of the city, 2 are West Bank Palestinians who were illegally in country; prosecutors say they aimed to ‘instill fear.’ |
| | + | |
| | + | [Yigal Yehoshua, 56, died after being struck in the head with a brick while driving home in Lod.] |
| | + | |
| | + | Murder, terrorism, and racism charges were filed Thursday against seven men accused of stoning Yigal Yehoshua to death in the central Israeli city of Lod last month, during widespread clashes between Jews Arabs in the country. |
| | + | Five of those indicted at the Central District Court are Arab Israelis and the other two are Palestinians who were illegally staying in Israel at the time. |
| | + | They are Lod residents Yusef al-Qadhayim, 21, Walid al-Qadhayim, 25, Karim Bahlul, 18, Iyad Marahla, 20, Haled Hassouna, 51, and West Bank residents Ahad Danun, 25, and Kamel Deif Alla, 21. |
| | + | |
| | + | They were charged with murder under aggravated circumstances in a collaborated act of terror, collaborating to throw stones in an act of terror against a vehicle, and deliberately damaging a vehicle for racist motives. |
| | + | In addition, six were charged with collaborating to obstruct justice for trying, among other acts, to erase footage of the incident caught on security cameras. |
| | + | |
| | + | Prosecutors said the defendants acted "out of a nationalist-ideological motives and with the aim of instilling fear and panic in the public and when there was real risk of serious injury to a person’s body." |
| | + | They asked that the defendants be held until the end of proceedings. |
| | + | The deadly attack that killed Yehoshua, a 56-year-old resident of Lod, occurred amid heavy rioting throughout the country that saw multiple cases of assault against Jewish Israelis by Arab Israelis and vice versa. |
| | + | |
| | + | According to the indictment, on May 11 Arab youths arrived at an industrial area in the north of Lod, where they lit fires and blocked roads causing traffic to slow down. |
| | + | When they identified the occupants of passing cars as Jewish they hurled stones at them, prosecutors said. The defendants attacked Yehoshua’s car and one stone came through the window, hitting him in the head and causing him serious injury. |
| | + | Yehoshua parked his car for a few moments near the site of the attack. He then drove the rest of the way to the parking lot beneath his home, where he crashed his car into another vehicle while trying to park, apparently because of his injuries. He was rushed to the hospital and died six days later. |
| | + | Some of the defendants also stoned Jewish cars two days after the incident as unrest in the city continued, prosecutors said. |
| | + | Nearly all of the defendants confessed to the crimes during questioning by the Shin Bet security agency, and played out the sequence of events at the scene, Haaretz reported. |
| | + | They were identified by security cameras in the area, while a location system in Yehoshua’s car provided accurate information as to the time and place of the incident... |
| | + | |
| | + | The families of some of the defendants claim the confessions came after hours of interrogation during which the suspects were tied to their chairs, and that they were not involved in the killing, the report said. |
| | + | Earlier this week police revealed that eight people had been arrested in connection with Yehoshua’s death. |
| | + | The suspects were arrested over the past several weeks in a joint operation by the Shin Bet and Israel Police, according to a statement from the two organizations at the time. |
| | + | The eighth man, Muhammad Hassouna, 33, was not charged on Thursday. |
| | + | |
| | + | Video footage distributed by the Israel Police (above) showed the attack as it unfolded, with Yehoshua’s car slowing down because of the flaming roadblocks, then being hit by rocks and bricks. He could then be seen driving away, pulling into his parking lot and hitting the parked car. Additional footage showed some of the suspects apparently attempting to erase the security camera recordings from that night. |
| | + | Some of Yehoshua’s organs were later used in life-saving transplants. His heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys were all donated to patients in need. One of his kidneys went to an Arab Israeli woman, Randa Aweis, a 58-year-old Christian from Jerusalem. |
| | + | Thursday also saw prosecutors file indictments against three suspects accused of attacking Mor Janashvili and causing him serious injuries during rioting in the northern city of Acre, also on May 12. |

| | + | Adam Bashir was indicted for intentionally causing grievous bodily harm in an act of terror and rioting. Bilal Hiluani was charged with rioting. |
| | + | According to the incitement, masked youths set up roadblocks in the city and threw stones at a police water cannon vehicle that arrived to disperse them. |
| | + | As Janashvili drove past they hurled stones at his vehicle, hitting it and smashing the windshield. Janashvili lost control and crashed into a wall, also hitting an Arab youth who was standing there. |
| | + | Hiluani spurred on the mob by shouting to them that the Arab youth who was hit by the car had died, although in fact he was alive and was able to stand up with the assistance of others, prosecutors say. |
| | + | Janashvili exited the vehicle but before he could escape was beaten by the mob. The attackers only stopped when a local sheikh arrived and told them to stop. He was saved by an Arab nurse who was at the scene. The two later had an emotional reunion in the hospital. |
| | + | Janashvili’s car was set alight and destroyed. |

Hiluani took part in the terror attack on Mor Janashvilli in Acco on May 12, 2021, during Operation Guardian of the Walls and was convicted of rioting.
