The rest of the caption to this photo claimed attacks by Jews on Taxi drivers, as much as last October and even this is in question.

What the photo failed to mentioned, is in the last few months, there has been no reports of any assaults by Jews upon Palestinian taxi drivers.

It was reported, that the relationships between the Jewish people and the Palestinians is improving by the day.

It is felt this is just another case of Anti-Semitism perpetrated against the Jewish people, to instigate a situation that is no longer occurring or was infrequent to begin with.

Personally, I find it hard to believe that Orthodox Jews that I have known, would do what was mentioned to the Palestinian taxi drivers, to begin with, for they have always been nice and polite to me.
