How a crime epidemic is spotlighting inequality in Israeli society
A mother shot dead outside a supermarket. A man killed after leaving a mosque. A doctor gunned down while treating patients. These shocking cases are no longer anomalies: they are the toll of a violent crime epidemic sweeping across Israel.
This article discusses the rising crime epidemic in Israel, particularly affecting Palestinian citizens, and highlights the stark inequality in the Israeli government's response and the effectiveness of the Israel Police in solving homicides. It notes that Palestinian citizens, who make up 20% of Israel's population, have seen a dramatic increase in homicides, with one person killed every day on average this year. The article also points out that the Israel Police have solved only 15% of homicides in Arab communities compared to 65% among Jewish Israelis. The situation has led to widespread protests by Palestinian citizens and some Jewish Israelis demanding government action.
