Israeli television lives on Arab residents from Jewish extremists

The images of a crowd of Israeli extremists at Tel Aviv attacking a man who believed to be Arab were broadcast live on Israeli television yesterday as the conflict with Palestine continues to take innocent lives.

Shocking images showed the man who was forced out of his car and beaten to the loss of feelings by the crowd of dozens of Jewish extremists.

The attack, broadcast by Israeli public television Kan, took place at the Bat Yam mall south of Israel's commercial centre, Tel Aviv.

Police and emergency services came only in 15 minutes, when the victim was standing on the ground motionless, backed in the middle of the road.

Some members of the lynching mob were justified in trying to hit right nationalists by car, but the driver had attempted to avoid the Israeli demonstration.

The lynching victim was injured but already stabilised in hospital”, Ichilov hospital said in a statement at Tel Aviv, without revealing the identity of the attack.

Israeli right-wing MEP Betzalel Smotrich, leader of the party “Religious Zionysm”, said he was ashamed of the cruel attack.

Rabbi Yitzhak Yossef also called for stopping Jewish attacks.

Innocent citizens are being attacked by terrorist organisations, let's not get involved in provocations and aggression”, he said.

Israeli extremists' demonstrations have erupted in cities from Wednesday, causing clashes with Arab citizens and police.

Police said they had intervened in ethnic incidents in the towns of Acre, Haifa and Lod. In Acre, the mixed Arab-Hebrew town in northern Israel, an Israeli was severely injured by the release of stones. /tch
