Far from the freezer, far from the heart: a horrifying Lynch was hiding in the edition while you were shocked by Sanfrost
In a concise article, Yossi Eli described on News 13 how dozens of Jews attacked an Arab worker in a Jerusalem supermarket with insane violence.
We must ask not only how we got to this situation, but also how such an event was swallowed up in the general noise while the state and the media are devoured by half a mouse in a bag of frozen vegetables

Sickening violence.

These days are days of drought, television cucumber season, not to mention: frozen vegetable season.
The country is buzzing about animal parts found in frozen vegetables.
Nature wakes up, it turns out, and broke the sacred covenant between the consumer and the corporation: how did the snail enter the holy of holies of the bag of frozen vegetables?
How dare he, for God's sake, one slug alone.
This story shocked all thresholds.
We already said: days of drought.
In Europe, the drought reveals ships lost in World War II.
In the news in Israel, the news drought also reveals a whole world of happenings and attention to other things, more hidden from view, highly dramatic but usually neglected.
Cheers to the drought.
And so, between spring and cloud, somewhere between the carnival of the animals in the vegetable bag and the rain in the middle of summer, a short, concise and to-the-point article by Yossi Eli appeared in News 13: a short video documentation of a lynching attempt in Jerusalem - a group of young people against one Arab worker, simply because he is Arab.
109 seconds in the release.
Thus, a handful of Jews raided a store in the capital city to attack an Arab employee.
His name is Mehdi Jabarin.
They are many, he is one, and they marvel at his blows.
One of them rips a metal beam from somewhere to heighten the effect.
Another attacker, says the reporter, is only 12 years old. Their clothes are white, handsome, respectable, but their hearts are black with hatred.
The older security guard tries to fend them off but in vain.
He will also kidnap.
In total, three workers had to evacuate to the hospital.
Despite the documentation, only one attacker was found.
An indictment was filed against him.
The others will continue to roam freely.
The documentation of the event is sickening and shocking, unimaginable.
An outbreak of evil, hatred and racist and bloody violence.
It's all here on the screen.
Will the country be upset?
No, the country is now abuzz with mouse parts that came the wrong way into a bag of frozen vegetables.
There are many terrible things in this story, but it is worth talking about the trivialization of the violence: the fact that such a story is not prominently placed on the agenda, not even by the media body that publishes its documentation exclusively;
And in the current attention economy, "new discoveries about Snowfrost" open editions while insane violence is met with a shrug.
After all, it was swallowed up in the general noise, in the already tired chronicle.
More in Walla!

The soul-searching that Israeli society needs to do does not only concern the question of how it is possible for young Israelis to lynch racism in a store, but also about the indifference to this, in the media and in the public.
This is what's going on outside while you're shocked by the snowfrost.
The stories are interconnected, the animal parts in the frozen vegetables and the lynching.
These are the new power relations: the consumer story, the very idea that something hurt us while shopping, penetrated into the bag of vegetables - drives the country mad as if there is no more burning problem in the world, an unforgivable sin, while hatred and racism are unpleasant taboos at best and normalized at worst.
In fact, the malfunction of Sunfrost allows us to pretend that we live in a normal reality that has its problems, and suppress the rest.
Far from the freezer, far from the heart: in the pivot between rage and indifference, between the frozen bag we bought and the murderous blows that kidnap someone else, it has probably been decided where we stand.
