> Leaderless Palestinian youth, inspired by instructional videos and photos on social media encouraging people to "Stab a Jew," are thought to be behind a new wave of violence in Israel and the West Bank. Uncoordinated and spontaneous attacks by individual young Palestinians, mostly under the age of 25, started to occur almost daily from October 2015, with assailants often using a household weapon — a knife, axe, meat cleaver, screwdriver — before being fired upon by nearby Israeli security forces. So far, the bloodshed has claimed the lives of at least 28 Israelis and 189 Palestinians, 128 of whom Israel says were assailants.
What does it even mean? What are the red and green marks?
What's even weirder to me is that they don't touch upon more examples. It's just so incredibly arbitrary that it can be used to easily cover up anything with zero consequences.
If you refer to "#stab and be the fear" etc., I guess it's not because it's about Zionism, but rather because it's an incitement to commit terrorist acts (totally credible, seen the situatuon). So I guess it makes sense. (And I say this as a total sympathizer with the plight of Palestinians and their struggle against the Israeli occupation.)
