'I kicked the Arab, I stepped on his head' - Chronicle of an urban massacre

From Haaretz.

In a nutshell: 80 or more Israeli kids making an appointment (by SMS or ICQ messages) to meet by the mall to 'harm Arabs for being Arabs'. They catch two random Palestinian chaps who were going shopping, beat the living crap out of them - the two kids only survive because a police patrol causes the mob to flee.

Irony - this took place in Pisgat Ze'ev, which is a settlement of occupied East Jerusalem. I was actually taken once to do some grocery shopping in the mall's supermarket...

Next time, I'll know better. I should take my flak jacket next time I'm around heavy concentrations of potentially angry Israelis...
