Anti-Arab slurs and vandalism are routine staples of Israeli racism
Evidence
In the racist mind of the aging Benjamin Emanuel—who does not know the language of concealing one’s bigotry and speaks like the Irgun terrorist that he was—he simply switches the African for the Arab and lets go of “the values upon which he has raised his family”. What the senior Emanuel uttered is not all that odd for an Israeli racist. The domain of anti-Arab bigotry in Israel, from which Benjamin Emanuel draws freely, is not limited to Irgun terrorists. “Mohammad’s a pig”, and “Death to Arabs” are the staples of Israeli racism regularly sprayed on mosques and spewed at the residents of occupied Palestine, as is the hurling of severed pigs’ heads into Muslim houses of worship. — Hamid Dabashi, Brown Skin, White Masks, 567
