Palestinians face intense online hate from Israelis
(MENAFN) Israel's 1.7 million Palestinian citizens are facing a tidal wave of incitement and hate speech on social media, including from government ministers, community leaders have warned.
They say the increasingly hostile political climate in Israel is stoking violence from the police and street gangs and has laid the ground for a recent raft of legislative proposals many Palestinians consider racist.
The alert comes as a group of Palestinian lawyers demand that Israel's attorney general investigates Gilad Erdan, the internal security minister, for alleged incitement to racism.
Adalah, a legal group for Israel's Palestinian minority, highlighted statements from Erdan blaming Palestinian citizens for "arson terrorism" last November after forest fires swept the country, despite their having been no prosecutions.
