Mixed Race Dating
What would be the reaction to this headline in an american paper?
Vigilante Gangs Roam Malls to Break up White/Negro Dating
Not very favorable, one would imagine, but of course if the current right wing push to stir up race hatred is successful maybe we will see something like that.
But it seems there are headlines and stories with that exact news and wouldn't you know it, they're about our bestest little organ stealing buddies in the middle east.
'Protecting' Jewish girls from Arabs
"Every night, dozens of young men in Jerusalem's Pisgat Ze'ev neighborhood take to the streets and go out searching for girls.
But theirs is not a promiscuous search. In fact, the group of some 35 volunteers is looking to prevent such interaction and to stop what neighborhood residents have overwhelmingly complained is a growing problem in Pisgat Ze'ev - Arab men going out with Jewish girls.
What was once a rare occurrence, residents say, has become the norm in this north Jerusalem suburb, which shares a side of the security barrier with the Palestinian village of Anata and the scattered dwellings on the edge of Shuafat refugee camp.
Residents now say that, due to Pisgat Ze'ev's location and increasingly mixed Arab-Jewish population, the phenomenon of mixed dating has grown, with violent outbursts breaking out frequently between Arab and Jewish youth over the matter, and with growing communal anger over what many here feel is simply unacceptable."
