I was really shocked to hear about this on NPR last night. I can't find the NPR article on the matter, but this one gives the basics. I am struggling to wrap my mind around the sad irony of a people who were beaten, tortured and killed because of their "race" - now the tables are turned and they're burning storefronts, breaking windows and intimidating other refugees because of "race". The whole story bummed me out.

It turns out that it is hard to see an evil in ones self when you have been a victim of it.
In my experience racism is something that somehow only goys can do. ;)
Israel seems like a place of such dichotomies. There seem to be equal numbers of great and terrible things about it (sort of like the US, I suppose). I guess that is bound to happen in a democracy, where all opinions can be represented. The line about crime being lower among immigrants is telling, because it is the same here; we are also a nation founded by immigrants who are now xenophobes.
