[Salon] Mobs kill Indians in Israel




Dozens of Israeli teens lynch another teen in front of his girlfriend, shouting “CHINA! CHINA!” as they kicked, stoned and stabbed to death the recent immigrant from India 

From the web edition:
FATHER: “Yoel was a victim of racism…sadly there are Israelis who disparage Beni Menashe [Indian Jews]…the racism against us is because we look different”
MOTHER: “He was murdererd because of racism, because of us looking different”
Lehanghel's girlfriend Hadassah, who witnessed his lynching from start to finish, reflects: “[Yoel] didn’t think that people would call us ‘Chinese… Thai’ etc. they almost always want to fight…[police] said 'It'll all be okay'" – but "didn’t do anything"
Kops and klan go hand in hand, part ∞: Israeli officer called to scene of Lehanghel’s lynching noticed his daughter among the mob, so he left and made no police report, and later helped hide evidence on one of the murder suspects: his daughter’s boyfriend

 investigation into Yoel Lehangel’s murder is a devastating indictment of the racism rampant in Israeli society and the corruption of its cops: “If I tell you everything I experienced, it will be a movie about racism 24 hours long”

Quotes from Yoel’s girlfriend’s cousin who tried to defend him from the mob of Israeli teens:

“I came here to the army, to defend the State of Israel… Ever since I enlisted, everyone calls me Chinese… Everyone is racist to me… When I wear civilian clothes, everyone hates me”

Quotes from the Israeli teenagers who mobbed Yoel:

“They’re 40 Thais”

“I punched a 30-year-old Filipino in the face, knocking him to the ground”

“Like an ISIS squadron, bro. They’re all midget-like, and they reek”

“Koreans, Kuchinites, may those whore die, fucks their moms”

One of Yoel’s murderers boasted “I stabbed the son of a bitch!” and then his friends hid the murder weapon for him; another one of the murderers was caught on camera destroying the clothes he was wearing, but he’ll likely be exonerated because his ex’s dad is a cop who helped him
Part of a pattern – in 2020 another unprovoked Israeli mob attack left an immigrant from India hospitalized with severe injuries:
