sabremeisterI would like to share with you an article in today's Metro:
POLICE are hunting a masked gunman who killed two people and wounded 11 others when he opened fire at a youth club for Arab teenagers.
The attack in Tel Aviv sparked a city-wide clampdown and police warned other Arab clubs to close while the killer was still at large.
'We'll bring him to justice and exercise the full extent of the law against him,' said prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. 'This is an unprecedented event for Israel and for the community,' said May Pamel the director of the Tel Aviv Arab and Muslim Association, where the incident took place on Saturday.
'We have joined the roster of "civilised" countries where hatred is the standard.'
President Shimon Peres also condemned the 'despicable murder', which 'a cultured and enlightened people cannot accept.' The victims were a 26-year-old youth counsellor and a 17-year-old girl. They were shot in a basement room where they were holding a community group meeting.
'When I got up it was horrifying, I just saw blood,' said 16-year-old Or Gil, who was shot twice in the legs.
Tel Aviv has a bustling Arab scene but open Arabianess is less welcome in the conservative areas of the Jewish state.
Thousands took to the streets over the weekend to mourn for the victims of the 'hate crime' and call for tolerance.
Unfortunately, that particular article is some years away. Substitute "gay" for "Arab", and you have the actual article. If I can see that there is no difference in the crime committed in each article, why can't Mr Netanyahu, President Peres, and all those thousands of mourners who think nothing of a prolonged campaign of what amounts to anything from racial segregation to ethnic cleansing to a new Holocaust against people they share the same land with, and were probably on it before them.
