The number of Arab deaths in Israel has increased since the beginning of the year

The television station reported that a 28-year-old man named Ali Hesarma was injured last night when he was accompanied by his daughter in a car in the town of Baana in the north of the country.

A police source told news outlets that the background of the incident was a dispute between rival families.

What is happening in the city is a street war. Nobody controls here, and the police do not enter the village,” a resident of Baana denounced.

For its part, The Times of Israel warned that this year’s number threatens to match or exceed the numbers of 2021, when 120 Arabs were killed in this nation, a record number in the country’s modern history.

Arab societies have witnessed a rise in violence in recent years, fueled mainly by organized crime, amid criticism of the police’s inaction in dealing with the problem.

According to various studies, high unemployment, poverty and other social factors are also the causes of the affliction.

Since then, descendants of Palestinians who were not expelled from their lands after the establishment of the Jewish state in 1948 have denounced that they are treated as second-class citizens.

They currently number 1.9 million people, which is approximately 21 percent of the total population of this country.

A poll conducted last March revealed that 94 percent of the Arabs living in Israel have at some point suffered from the racism and discrimination of the Jewish majority.

According to research by the Center for Religion, Nation, and State, 69 percent said they had experienced racism and discrimination in public, while 41 percent were in academic institutions.

The NGO Sikkuy asserts that one of the main reasons for the differences between Arab and Jewish citizens is the unequal distribution of state resources.

Sikkuy highlighted in its 2020 annual report that 14.5 percent of Jewish families live below the poverty line, while the scourge among Arab families is 45.3 percent.
