Israel/Palestine

Time to crack down

I can’t begin to express the outrage I feel at the disgusting behavior of Israeli settlers reacting to the court-ordered evacuation of a house in Hebron.

I am sure the overwhelming majority of Israelis reject their acts of violence against Israeli soldiers and Palestinians. The problem is that the Israeli government never seems to deal seriously with these extremists, who rarely serve serious prison time. Will it take the death of a soldier or policeman at the hand of a settler before the government cracks down? I fear that’s not an unimaginable event anymore.

And more than ever, it’s time to evacuate the Jewish settlement in Hebron.

We’ve seen how this scum treats Palestinians.

This is how they serve the Beta Israel and other Jews of African descent, and the Druze, who are serving their country. From Ynet:

“Niggers don’t expel Jews! This isn’t what we brought you to Israel for!” are just some of the degrading slurs Border Guard officers reported hearing from masked settlers.

During the violent clashes between Israeli forces andsettlers in Hebron on Tuesday “a bunch of veiled people started yelling at us: Who are you to expel us from our home? An Ethiopian does not expel a Jew! A nigger does not expel a Jew!” one Border Guard officer of Ethiopian descent recounted.

“I just didn’t know what to do with myself,” he said.

And it turns out this was not the only such incident to take place. Another officer reported that while arriving to make an arrest about a week and-a-half ago, a group of youths verbally attacked him saying, “Who told you to come and evacuate us? You Ethiopians. What are you, this State’s niggers? Olmert’s niggers?”

Utter, utter filth.
