Four young Jewish citizens have been indicted in connection with “Tag Mechir” and other attacks against Arabs. The phenomenon of Jewish extremism, which exists among a radical minority of the Israeli population, is linked to anti-Arab arson and desecration of targets such as churches, mosques and schools.
Many experts argue that the roots of this extremism is among the communities of Judea and Samaria but not exclusively. Our tour will explore the phenomenon from social, religious and historical perspectives.
The tour includes
A briefing with Prof. Kimmy Kaplan, chairman of the Bar Ilan University Department of Jewish History and Contemporary Jewry
A meeting with Shilo Rabbi Dov Berkovich
A meeting with Shimon Riklin, Yesha leader and journalist
