"I look at every Jew and am afraid" A Palestinian inspector on Jerusalem's bus lines was beaten twice this year just for asking riders to show their transit cards. Both attacks broke his arms. The last one damaged his eye too, eyelid folded inward, another surgery in November. "I look at every Jew and am afraid," he says. Two more inspectors were assaulted within days of that. One went back to work anyway. Unprovoked, with no pretext of security, Gideon Levi describes these events as a normalized racist violence in the public sphere, set against the outcry that would follow if Jewish bus drivers were attacked for their Judaism in Europe.
