HAIFA (PIC)– An Israeli man stabbed and killed a Palestinian taxi driver in Kiryat Yam north of Haifa on Monday then admitted that he committed the crime just because the victim was an Arab.
Arab media in the 1948 occupied lands reported that Emad Khouri 41 who works as a taxi driver went to a public park for a short rest when the culprit came from behind and stabbed him.
The media sources said that Khouri managed to walk for almost 20 meters before he collapsed and fell in the street; paramedics could not save his life.
Police captured the culprit who is in his thirties and he confessed his racist crime saying that he planned “to kill an Arab”.
Police sources said that the criminal would be sent for psychological check-up. In similar past crimes the police claimed that the culprits were mentally deranged which lessened their sentences to the minimum.
Arab MP in the Israeli parliament Jamal Zahalka said that the “racist provocation turns into knives killing Arabs”. He charged that a racist wave had ripped through the Israeli society with the full blessing of the official regime.
He said that the murderer was bred on that racism and grew full of hatred for Arabs in an environment nurturing such anti-Arab racism.
