The Israeli Mind-Set, Bigotry and Palestinian Dress

Besides the logic of the Israeli and Palestinian conflict, one would think Israeli would be the last people on the globe to be obscenely bigoted.

Mickey Rosenfeld, a spokesperson for Israeli's Police defended the savage beating and brutal assault on a Palestinian sheep herder by Israeli settlers at the West Bank with the Palestinian was dressed like a westerner and not the "traditional" dress.
This attitude goes back to Golda Meir's (the first female Prime Minister of Israel) position that Palestinians are animals, implying in principle and deed no treatment is of limits.
The West Bank just as any inch of Palestinian soil is a constant flash point.
B'tselem a Israeli Human Rights Group in response to Palestinian complaints of Israeli settler brutality provided Palestinians with camcorders to record and document encounters with settlers. This latest instance of settler brutality and assault had four young males with their faces covered attacking the Palestinian. So in the acts defense, Mickey Rosenfeld the Police spokesperson proposed the ironic rationale that the Palestinian provoked the attack because he wore a baseball cap, pants and a shirt---and so he was savagely beaten.
The historical irony of this reveals the hubris of the Israeli mind-set. Nazi Germany with it's policy of extermination against the forebearers of Israel also used dress as reason.
It's one thing for a prejudiced settler grasping for any defense to support the obviousness of land grabbing to say that. But for a spokesperson for the Israeli Government to defend settler aggression with Nazi logic shows Fascism has many banners.
