What happened to the Arab bus drivers in Jerusalem this past weekend was not an isolated lynching. It was a condensed replica \u2014 a chilling microcosm \u2014 of what Israel has done to Gaza for the past twenty months. A smaller version, but disturbingly similar. Ironically, this local act of brutality in Israel sparked more visible outrage than the broader, ongoing devastation in Gaza. Yet the war is even more ruthless than the lynching.<\/p>\n

Beitar Jerusalem football fans have never needed a reason to assault an Arab driver \u2014 but this time, they found one. Zahy Ahmad, an Arab player like the drivers, dared to score the winning goal in the Israeli Cup final, securing victory for Hapoel Be’er Sheva against Beitar.<\/p>\n

From the Stadium to the Streets: How Racist Rage Turned a Football Goal into a Call for Violence<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
To Beitar fans, an Arab scoring in a Cup final was akin to another October 7th \u2014 an intolerable provocation. Just like after that date, retaliation was deemed necessary. In their eyes, the league should have long been cleansed of Arabs. The audacity of an Arab triumphing over a Jewish team \u2014 and in the final, no less \u2014 demanded revenge. And revenge came swiftly, on bus line 505.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you were shocked by their attack on an Arab man, why weren\u2019t you equally shocked by the war? The beating on the bus is a painfully precise reflection of what\u2019s happening in Gaza. Both acts of violence were rationalized by a supposed \u201ctrigger.\u201d Of course, there\u2019s no real comparison between the horrors of October 7 and a football goal \u2014 nor between a wounded driver and a thousand dead infants. But to \u201cLa Familia\u201d \u2014 Beitar’s notorious fan base \u2014 one goal by an Arab foot is a national affront, a crime that must be punished.<\/div>\n

The parallels only deepen from here. In both cases, the responses were wildly disproportionate. Justifying Israel\u2019s war in Gaza as \u201cthe most justified war ever\u201d is no different from saying Beitar fans had a reason to beat a bus driver. The connection between that driver and Beitar’s loss is as nonsensical as linking Gaza\u2019s children to October 7.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Claiming the war is to rescue hostages or defeat Hamas is as baseless as claiming the lynching would prevent future Arab goals. Beitar fans believed they could \u201cdeter\u201d future humiliation through violence. Israel thinks genocide will \u201cdeter\u201d Gaza. The thirst for vengeance is the same.<\/div>\n

Lynching in Jerusalem, Bombing in Gaza: A Mirror of Brutality and Silence<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
In both cases, there are no brakes \u2014 not legal, not moral. The beating lacked mercy, just like the bombing lacks mercy. The majority of victims are innocent. The imbalance of power is identical: dozens of attackers against one man \u2014 just like one of the world\u2019s most heavily armed militaries versus a population with nowhere to run. Gaza is being lynched. Bombed while bleeding, starved, and sick \u2014 like a man kicked while bleeding on the ground.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This wasn\u2019t the first lynching of Arab drivers in Jerusalem, and it won\u2019t be the last. According to the drivers\u2019 union, at least two such assaults occur every day in the city. Just like Gaza\u2019s assault is neither the first nor the last. The public surrounds the scene, shouting or standing by. We can\u2019t tell if they\u2019re shocked or thrilled. No one steps in.<\/div>\n

The drivers won\u2019t recover soon, if ever. It\u2019s unlikely they\u2019ll feel safe transporting people in this city again. And Gaza? Gaza will never recover. It will remain in eternal trauma from what Israel has done.<\/p>\n
