Quick thread of videos showing what Palestinians are facing right now...
Here, Palestinian children (citizens of Israel btw) break down crying as an Israeli mob tries to break into their home in Haifa:Here, another mob of Israelis are destroying Palestinian-owned businesses:
Here, a crowd chant "death to the Arabs" as they assault a Palestinian driver as he frantically tries to get away:
Here, Israeli police break into a Palestinian home in Nazareth & attack the residents:
Here, a mob of Israelis in Ramla is checking vehicles passing by -- ones with Jewish drivers/passengers are allowed through unharmed, while ones with Palestinians are violently attacked with rocks:
Here, an Israeli fanatic is asking the mob for the addresses of Palestinian citizens in his city: "Give me the addresses of Arabs in Netanya"
Here, an Israeli mob viciously beat a Palestinian man unconscious. They continue beating him as he's out cold.
Here, Israeli soldiers joke on video about selling the Palestinian children they've kidnapped ("arrested" in Palestinian areas where the soldiers don't belong) for a hundred shekels:
Here is a mob in Bat Yam going on a rampage of Palestinian-owned businesses:
Here is a driver repeatedly reiterating to the mobs in the streets that he's Jewish (a different answer to this question would've made this a very different night for him):
Here, the daughter of a Palestinian man brutalized & beaten unconscious by Israeli mobs under Israeli police protection in Akka (Acre) rushes to check if he's alive:
Missing from this list are the videos of the torn bodies of Palestinian children in Gaza from Israeli bombardment. I won't be sharing them, but I will remind you that Israel killed more than 550 children in the span of 6 weeks in 2014 (17 children killed in the last 3 days).
