Bedouin tent torched in apparent Jewish extremist attack

A tent in a Palestinian Bedouin village was burned to cinders overnight Wednesday in the northern West Bank in a suspected arson attack by Jewish right-wing extremists. There were no injuries.

Close to the charred remains of the tent, which was used for storage, graffiti on a rock proclaimed “administrative revenge” alongside a Star of David.

The graffiti seemed to refer to the internment without charge — known as administrative detention — of three alleged Jewish extremists in the wake of a July 31 arson attack in the West Bank village of Duma that killed 18-month-old Palestinian Ali Saad Dawabsha and his father, Saad. The mother and a second, 4-year-old son are still being treated in Israeli hospitals for severe burns.

“A tent belonging to a Palestinian Bedouin was set on fire and completely burned. Luckily there were no people in the tent but only food for (livestock),” the Israeli NGO Rabbis for Human Rights said.

Is it any surprise that many Israelis treat them as less than human?

The "extremists" are only extreme in their behavior. They share the same philosophy with a large segment of their Israeli brethren.
