What鈥檚 Killing Israel鈥檚 Arabs?
Why Israeli Arabs are suffering a violent crime wave that's left them accounting for a majority of the country's murders - and how the fallout could threaten coexistence with Jews.
Israel鈥檚 Arab population is in the grip of a violent and deadly crime wave. Since the start of the year, scores of Arab citizens have lost their lives and increasingly, even women and children are victims of drive-by killings, point-blank shootings and escalating gang warfare. Arabs account for only around one in five of all Israelis, yet they are now the vast majority of the country鈥檚 murder victims. The 麻豆社鈥檚 Yolande Knell meets victims鈥� families and those in authority to find out what is going on, and asks what hope there is for an end to the carnage.
