JERUSALEM - JULY 22: Right wing Israelis demonstrate at the site of a bulldozer attack on King David Street on July 22, 2008 in Jerusalem, Israel. The bulldozer driver was shot dead by an Israeli after he attacked two cars with the vehicle, injuring as many as seven people, police said. The incident appeared to be a copycat of the one on July 2, when a Palestinian in Jerusalem killed three people and wounded 30 others when he rammed a bulldozer into a bus and cars on a busy street before being shot dead.
Israeli right-wingers hold signs reading in Hebrew : �Destroy the house� during a demonstration calling for the demolition of the family house of Palestinian Hussam Tarysir Dwayat, who went on a rampage in Jerusalem driving a bulldozer, in the east Jerusalem neighbourhood of Sur Baher on July 6, 2008. Around 30 right-wing Israelis staged a demonstration at the east Jerusalem home of the Palestinian man who killed three people in a bulldozer rampage last week to demand its destruction.

Protesters say they were provoked by right-wing Israelis yelling "death to the Arabs."
