Bad Jews

A new survey has found that a large number of Jews have prejudices against Arabs. In a report, the Association for Civil Rights in Israel said expression of anti-Arab views had doubled, and racist incidents had increased by 26%. In another poll, almost 75% of Jewish youths said Arabs were less intelligent and less clean than Jews.

Given what has been done to the Jews by the Arabs over the centuries, one may say that they have a right to feel suspicious or uncomfortable with the Arabs. But there's no excuse for this. I'm disappointed; I thought the Israelis were better than this.
