Very sad to see & #39;Death to Arabs& #39; trending.

The rise of extremism among Jewish youths in Israel, is alarming.

And the potential for violent clashes between Israelis and Palestinians in Jerusalem, spiralling without intervention, is like a tinderbox https://jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/more-than-100-hurt-in-jerusalem-as-palestinians-clash-with-jewish-supremacists/">https://jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/more-than...

I went to Jerusalem a few years ago, and I have to say, I absolutely hated the atmosphere there. It was tense, in some ways unfriendly... lots of armed police and army folks around. It& #39;s a city which Israel claims & #39;undivided& #39;.. it& #39;s clearly very divided https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaomfW9zfeI">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

I am not an expert but It feels like the young Jewish extremists chanting these things do so, because they see the far-right in the Knesset - and they also see Arab Parties, threatening to get into government.

I.e. They see the polarity, and a vacuum of centrism.

There& #39;s no serious voices advocating coexistence. There is Bibi, who ploughs through with settlements. Bennet who looks like he might take over, who& #39;ll do the same. Even Gantz supports settlements. And the opposition is a 180 degree flip. End Israel etc

Basically, it& #39;s turned into a zero sum game. If you& #39;re a young Israeli, your options are far-right or soft right, or centrists pretending they& #39;re not on the right, when they actually are. And if you& #39;re Palestinian, what have you got to lose, being kept in limbo?
