East Jerusalem Arabs detail violence they face by city's Jews
By Haaretz Staff and Channel 10
Tags: East Jerusalem, Jew, Israel 
Haaretz.com/Channel 10 daily feature for May 28, 2008.

Last month's attack by a Jewish mob on Arab youths got ample press, but shouldn't be considered an isolated incident.

In fact, Arab residents of Jerusalem, particularly taxi drivers, detail a pattern of racially-motivated violent acts by religious Jews.

The drivers from East Jerusalem call the western part of the city the "Wild West." This week, prominent rabbis circulated Halakhic rulings online, calling for the city's Jews to carry out violent acts against Arab residents.
