Chanting "Death to Arabs," Israeli Mobs Attack Arab-Owned Businesses and Assault Driver
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
