5:47Now PlayingWe look at the increasingly dangerous political climate inside Israel where several peace protests have recently come under attack. On Saturday, rightwing activists burned a Palestinian flag, chanted racial slurs, and threw stones at an antiwar protest in Haifa of Arabs and Israelis opposed to the bombardment of Gaza. Haifa's deputy mayor, Dr. Suhail Assad, and his son were beaten. On Sunday, the captain of a youth soccer team in Be'er Sheva wrote on his facebook page"send leftwing voters to the gas chambers and clean this country of leftists." The week before the Gaza invasion began, gangs were reportedly seen roaming the streets of Jerusalem and other towns shouting, "death to Arabs." We go to Israel to speak with Rann BarOn, an Israeli peace activist and Duke University mathematics lecturer, who took part in Saturday's Haifa protest. And we are joined by Max Blumenthal, senior writer for Alternet.org and bestselling author whose latest book, "GoliathLife and Loathing in Greater Israel," documents the spread of rightwing Israeli extremism.
