...violence erupted in downtown Cairo for the first time in nearly two years. More than 500 workers from the Helwan industrial complex massed in front of the Interior Ministry demanding a rollback of food prices, which have soared an estimated 20% in the past year. Although police disbanded the mob with clubs and tear gas, protesters roamed through the center of the capital, stoning buses and smashing windows at Libyan Arab Airlines and Air France...
...minutes of the attack, hordes of irate "Southie" residents surged in front of the high school's imposing iron gates. "Bus them back to Africa!" they screamed. "Why are we here?" shrieked one man. "To get those niggers!" When Boston police, bolstered by 125 state troopers, charged the mob, the crowd retaliated by hurling bricks and bottles.

Bet She'an was somehow different. An enraged mob hurled the bodies of the dead guerrillas from a second-story apartment window, kicked them, spat on them, stabbed them with sticks, then doused them with kerosene and set them afire. "Kill them again! Kill them again!" some shouted. Throwing back Israeli policemen who tried to smother the flames with blankets, the crowd chanted...
