BAT YAM – Israel is on fire. Lynch mobs roam the streets of mixed cities. Groups of Jews beat up Arabs and vice versa. Firearms are even used here and there, while a soldier in critical condition is hospitalized after being attacked in Jaffa. Synagogues go up in flames, restaurants and shops are in ruins. If there was any coexistence, it now appears to be shattered.
