No doubt another case of attempted murder that will, of course, go unpunished.

Anywhere else in the world, this would be treated as a felony hit-and-run. But in Israel, where the boss and master is the Zionist Jew, this will be brushed away and ignored. The soldiers standing there will just say, “We were surrounded by a hostile crowd of demonstrators. We didn’t see what happened on the other side of the street.”

This type of criminality is only possible because of the dehumanization of Arabs and racism toward Arabs in which Israeli Jewish society marinates.

How dare this pesky Palestinian drive on my Jews only road.

A settler. Need to say more? And please don’t call them Nazis it’s not helpful.

IMO and FWIW, the protester wasn’t struck by the car. He was part of a crowd that had swarmed the car. As the car maneuvered its way out of the crowd, everyone appeared to get clear of the vehicle, exept for the protester, who only fell from / was shaken from the vehicle when it was finally cleared the crowd and began to drive away.
