Six arrested in Jerusalem over attack on Israeli Druze man
[Ynet] Suspects appear in court for remand hearing over attack on 21-year-old music student last week; Tommy Hassoun was reportedly attacked for speaking Arabic.

The Jerusalem police tossed in the slammer
Please don't kill me!
 six men on Monday on suspicion on involvement in the brutal attack on 21-year-old Druze student Tommy Hassoun last week. The suspects were brought Jerusalem Magistrate's Court for a hearing on the extension of their remand.

Tommy Hassoun was brutally attacked by a group of Jewish men in Jerusalem on Thursday ‐ reportedly after they heard him speaking Arabic.
Every group has its vicious idiots. The question is whether the groups celebrates them or punishes them for acting on their impulses.
What Tommy Hassoun's assailants did not know was that they were attacking a young man who had completed his IDF service three months earlier and had recently moved to Jerusalem to study music.

The men, who were wearing skullcaps, hit the 21-year-old Druze student and broke a glass bottle on him. Hassoun was hospitalized suffering from bruises to his face and back of his head.

Hassoun, a musician who grew up in the Druze town of Daliyat al-Karmel near Haifa, had moved to Jerusalem to study at a music academy. For his military service, Hasson had served in a combat unit and later at the President's Residence.

On Sunday, Hassoun posted a message on his Facebook preaching peace and tolerance ‐ despite his ordeal.

"Many people who have never met me asked forgiveness," wrote Hassoun. "I am in a lot of pain, but my head is held high."

President Reuven Rivlin, who knew Hassoun from his IDF service, called the young man's father to express support for the family.

"On a personal level I believed up until now that this is one nation ‐ I never saw a difference between a Jew and a Druze," said Hassoun's father. "I believed and I will continue to believe in the future that this is the land of the Jewish nation ‐ it has a right to live here."
And every group has wise ones. Again, the difference is whether they are punished or celebrated.
Tommy's brother, Julian, said: "A month ago two Druze coppers were murdered during terror attacks and now a Druze gets hit by Jews."
