What’s Killing Israel’s 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’s 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’s murder victims. The ´óÏó´«Ã½â€™s Yolande Knell meets victims’ families and those in authority to find out what is going on, and asks what hope there is for an end to the carnage.
