A burnt corpse belonging to a Palestinian national of Israel has been found inside a parked vehicle in the town of Jaljulia, in the center of the Palestinian land occupied since 1948, bringing the number of Palestinians killed in domestic crimes since yesterday to four.
Arab 48 website said the latest incident was the fourth since Saturday morning. The incident is part of an ongoing years-long crime wave blamed for Israeli Police tolerance of criminality and even collaboration with criminal gangs across the Arab communities in Israel.
Palestinians in today’s Israel are those who stayed on their land following the creation of the occupying state in 1948 and their descendants. They make up about 20 percent of the country’s nine million people.
By law, their rights are equal to those of Jewish citizens. But in practice they suffer discrimination in employment, housing, policing and other essentials.
Palestinians have long blamed the Israeli police for turning a blind eye to gun violence among Palestinian-Israelis and even complicity with criminal gangs.
