(Times of Israel) Elhanan Miller - Six Israeli tourists were assaulted Monday at a market in Rabba in southern Jordan, 100 km. south of Amman, when one of the vendors identified the tourists as Israeli due to the men's skullcaps, which "provoked the sensibilities of the vendors," Al-Arab Al-Yawm reported. The vendor proceeded to assault the men with shoes, a symbol of disdain in Arab culture. The Israeli tourists fled the area in their cars as buyers joined the attack. A shopper told Al-Arab Al-Yawm: "Those who talk about peace between Israelis and Jordanians are delusional. The signed agreements are nothing but ink on paper. They are meaningless."
