The opening as it read in October 6, 2023

Anti-Palestinian/anti-Arab slogan Desecration of a grave in the city of Bethlehem shortly after the end of the Second Intifada .1 The graffiti reads "Death to the Arabs" in Hebrew . " Death to Arabs " or " Death to the Arabs " ( Māwet lā-Arāvīm ) is a slogan commonly used by Jewish extremists across Israel and the West Bank .2 Depending on the person's temperament, it may specifically be an expression of anti-Palestinian sentiment (see Israeli–Palestinian conflict ) or otherwise a more broad expression of anti-Arab sentiment , which includes non-Palestinian Arabs (see Arab–Israeli conflict ). It is widely condemned as racist and hateful in nature, with some observers asserting that it manifests genocidal intent.3 The slogan is primarily invoked during confrontations with Palestinians in the West Bank, where it is a popular rallying cry for revenge attacks in response to killings of Israelis by Palestinians, though it may also be used against Israeli Arabs during times of inter-ethnic civil unrest within Israel. It is typically chanted at marches in Jerusalem (e.g., the Dance of Flags ) and at football matches, and has also appeared in graffiti vandalism ; it is a recurrent aspect of Israeli settler violence in the West Bank.4
