Three assailants target Fahad Qubati after he gave Jewish tourists a ride and only fled after he proved he was an Arab-Christian
Cool. Now I know my life is in danger if I go to Greece because I look very stereotypically Jewish. They didn’t exactly stop to ask the guy what his opinion was on the Gaza genocide.
Yeah I think this is very troubling and counterproductive. The article says the guy was recently discharged from the IDF. Which for a Palestinian is weird because they don’t have to join the army, so I’m assuming he’s a Zionist. That being said, a Jew would get killed for being Jewish by these people and an Arab could apparently get away with being a Zionist. So this whole thing is just pointless violence/antisemitism.
There are “Arab Israelis” as well. Basically Palestinians who weren’t driven out and are now citizens or the descendants of those Palestinians. They have to serve in the IDF regardless of their politics (which, as you can imagine, aren’t very sympathetic toward Israel). They also prefer to be called Palestinian Citizens of Israel, but the media usually calls them Arab Israelis or Israeli Arabs to differentiate them from the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
IDF draft laws only apply to Jews, and male Druze and Circassians.

Bedouins, etc. serve voluntarily.And from the Wikipedia page, it seems like it’s not all, but a majority that refer to themselves in that way.

If everyone has to do national service in the IDF, you can’t really assume a person’s politics from that fact.
As I said he is Palestinian and Palestinians except for a few groups don’t have to serve in the army and most of them do not consider themselves Israeli and have no interest in serving the interests of their colonizer.
Not that this attack was justified, it definitely wasn’t, but I’m honestly curious what his opinion is on Gaza since he was clearly in the IDF as the article says.
See, Israel. This is what antisemitism looks like.
Under catholic grandparents, I was taught that crosses are there to make satan’s minions flee.
Seems like it worked in this case (if you beat a random guy in the streets I’m not sure what else to call you)
I had to read this over so many times. Kept reading it as “assailants flee after seeing his crocs”. I need sleep
