The violence of the authorities, paired with the callousness of #Israelis and the major elected politicians, are all symptomatic of a society that is inherently racist, incapable of demonstrating the slightest measure of sympathy for the suffering. #Israel#COVID19
One of the plagues that #Palestinians have to live with is a group of violent, sociopathic Jewish teenagers who call themselves the HilltopYouth . They are radically indoctrinated, violent and racist and were capable of burning to death a family in their home. #Israel#COVID19

The UN specified that “The attacks include stoning of vehicles, vandalizing structures and physical assault.” “Some 100 Palestinian-owned olive trees were uprooted and surveillance cameras were damaged or stolen from a home and school.” #homeschooling#COVID19#Israel#Israelis
