On October 12, 2002, during the Second Intifada, two Israeli army reservists were captured in the Palestinian city of Ramallah and hung by a civilian mob in a Palestinian police station. Pictures and film of the event had a strong effect on convincing Israelis that Palestinians had no desire to stem the violence and live in peace with Israel. See Asser, Martin. “Lynch mob’s brutal attack.” 13 October 2000. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/969778.stm.  http://www.justvision.org/glossary/ramallah-lynching
