Lets focus on THIS story and not make excuses. You might
sound like the parent of the Arab girl in response: .."but
all races exhibit racism."

The facts as the Post has presented,point to a hatred of
Jews by this Arab girl;which continued into a act of violence.

Lets stick to the facts of the story as presented by the Post commented on by Freepers without "suggesting" FReepers here are racist.

I repeat my earlier statement that had the races of the two involved in the incident have been reversed, the story would not have been posted. Yes, I believe certain members of FR are anti-Arab racists.

Truth, about this issue of prejudiced views, I can't help comparing this thread, with one about 3 months ago. It was an article from a Sydney paper, about "anti-Muslim" violence in Sydney, and it described some incidents where Arab schoolgirls were attacked on the streets by Australian men.

I wrote in a response, (for Sydney is my home-town), saying how the story was vastly exagerrated - a minor incident, and the men who beat the schoolgirl were just a few thugs from the margins of society - there are these types in any large city. It did not, in my view, represent any Australian reality. To my astonishment, people wrote in to correct me, saying that these men were "patriotic Australians"! Other Freeps suggested various insults which could have been profitably been aimed at the girls while they were been assaulted.

Obviously, the Sydney case is very different to this, as the assailiants were adults, and the victims were Arab, rather than Jewish, girls. But the responses were pretty off-putting.
