Then, for good measure, a mob beats the shit out of him while he's bleeding.

One of those two states needs to blow the fuck out of each other and get this shit over with.

The Israeli police launched an investigation into what local media described as a “lynching” Sunday against an innocent man — shot amid the chaos of an attack that left an Israeli soldier dead.


I need context. Doesn't sound like this guy was just minding his own business and then an Israeli soldier fell over dead.

He added that police were examining security tapes in attempts to identify those who assaulted the wounded man at a bus station in the southern city of Beersheba.

In the attack, an Israeli Bedouin Arab attacker killed a 19-year-old soldier, Omri Levy, whose military rifle was taken and used by the assailant. A second victim, police said, was an Eritrean asylum seeker shot by a security guard who mistakenly believed he was a second attacker.

He committed the ultimate offense of trying to run away from a guy getting into a tussle with the soldiers already present.

Sounds like there was a lot of confusion, and some random dude grabbed a soldiers gun, started firing it and killed the soldier, when there were already daily attacks happening from refugees:
The attack, which took place in the Negev desert city’s central bus station during the busy rush-hour period, followed more than two weeks of daily attacks by Palestinians against Israelis that have left the country shaken and suspicious.


Too bad you weren't there, I bet you could have sorted that shit right out. :-D
