In the Israeli city of Safed, an 89-year-old man has been accused of treachery for welcoming Arab students. Catrina Stewart reports

It is terrible to see a survivor of the Holocaust to be threatened. This article did surprise me. The Holocaust is a very sensitive topic for many Jewish people but I never knew some Jews would go as far as to attack their own, especially a Holocaust survivor.

Moshe, 35, a music store manager, insists the issue is not one of racism, but that encouraging a large influx of Arabs into the city demonstrates a "blatant disregard" for the existing Jewish community. "Our experience of Arabs over the last 10 years is terror," he said. "Now they're saying, 'Let us be neighbours.' You don't force peace on people."

I highly doubt some of these people desire peace in the first place.
