Ynet: "Arabs flee home due to racist threats" in Tel Aviv:

Five residents of the north, four Muslims and a Druze, were forced to leave their apartment in southern Tel Aviv due to threats and persecution by their Jewish neighbors, Ynet learned Thursday.

    “How long will American Jews deny this crushing reality?” Hey get real American Jews have not only denied the “crushing reality” in Israel/Palestine for five decades. Most have and continue to support the “crushing reality”

    i urge everyone to read both these articles.

    “I felt humiliated by the hatred,” said Ganem Abbas, the young Druze man, who has served in the IDF.

    Abbas, originally from Abu Sinan in the north, came to the center of Israel two weeks ago in order to work at a construction site in Jaffa, which he says is owned by the municipality. He and his friends decided to rent an apartment nearby, in Shapiro neighborhood in Tel Aviv.

    But three days ago the friends returned home in the evening to see that their main water pipe had been broken. Gas bottles had been stolen.

    “The landlady told me that people from the neighborhood had threatened to torch the house and attack her if we don’t get out, because we’re Arabs,” Abbas said.

    so it’s ok to serve in the idf but don’t rent to them…okkkkaya

    Rephrasing the question to how long will Jewish-American Zionists endure this crushing reality? Until their dream that, but for the taking, a Jewish utopia is available to them in Palestine is replaced by another dream, this one attainable – That a utopia can be created right here in the U.S. of A., not only for Jews but for everyone. Has to do with the struggle to build a world in which each of us is equally important, not only in the day to day but in the total scheme of things, a world in which one is in charge of one’s own destiny.
