Police lynch arab citizen in Tel Aviv

The horrific lynching by police on an arab citizen is still in the news. It's more than horrific ... especially no govt. leader has yet to make a statement about it. More horrific because it's this xenophobic, fear and hatred based attitude that the govt. is inculcating on its jewish citizens that has led to this type of attacks and violence on innocent non-jews. If it were the other way round, it would be anti-Semitism and a worldwide outcry would be heard. More horrific now because not only are non-jews not protected by the law but now the law will apply the death penalty only to non-jews. Where is this country going? Where are the Torah values? Why are the rabbis silent? Can YHWH be pleased with this?  http://www.haaretz.com/opinion/1.721155

More horrific because it took place in Tel Aviv, the most open and liberal and tolerant city in the country. More horrific because the attackers were off-duty police who did not identify themselves when they approached the arab citizen. This is all so tragic.

Ex. 22:21 "Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt."
Deut. 10:19  "And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt."
Lev. 19:34  "The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God."

Full moon over Damascus Gate
Empty streets

And as if to show nature's displeasure ... strange changes have been taking place in the weather. Temperatures dropped drastically last night and it began drizzling all night. This morning it rained and the skies continue to be overcast. A very cold wind is blowing and noon temperature is barely 15 degrees.

The moon is once again full .... very eerie as it sits above the City Walls in this cold wet night. The streets are deadly quite and empty as local arabs in my Muslim Quarter fear attacks from the police. Everyone stays home. At 3am, police raid houses without warrants in the arab quarter and gather information from arabs above other arabs.  http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-1.720994
