The Israeli government is witnessing escalating racism and violence directed at its Arab citizens, including Muslims, Druze, and Christians. Recent attacks by Jewish individuals against Arabic speakers have become more frequent. The article criticizes the influence of figures like Kahanists, who allegedly target those who do not adhere to Hebrew. Arabs constitute 20% of Israel's population, with a significant portion being Druze and Muslim citizens who serve in the military. Despite their service, these communities reportedly face home demolitions and a disregard for democratic principles. The author asserts that racist elements are attacking those who speak Arabic, referred to as the "language of the ضاد" (a characteristic letter in Arabic). The government has enacted laws, notably the "Kaminitz Law" and the "Nationality Law," which are described as particularly egregious.
