In this 13 May 2021 interview with Al Jazeera English, Jadaliyya Co-Editor Mouin Rabbani discussed the growing civil conflict in numerous Israeli towns and cities between Israeli Jews and Palestinian citizens of Israel. The interview explains that the recent eruption of violence needs to be understood against the background of nearly 75 years of Israeli institutional racism against Palestinian citizens, with the state is, therefore, an active participant rather than neutral arbiter. Furthermore, the extremist gangs roaming the streets are also a core constituency of the Israeli government and their radical ideology has infiltrated many key institutions.
