'Jews protest Arab construction in Israel’
I had to read and reread that headline a dozen times before I realised that it was not Jews building on Palestinian land. But when you read the article and see which Jews are doing the protesting, you can understand the irony of it all…."They are taking over the land of Israel without permission, building on hilltops as you can see here to the right and to the left," said Baruch Marzel, who is associated with the banned Kach movement. It should be noted that the 'Jews’ involved in this protest live on illegal settlements built on Palestinian land.
Just who is this Baruch Marzel? Wikipedia offers the following information anout him…. Baruch Marzel (Hebrew: ברוך מרזל) is an Israeli politician. Marzel, an American-born Orthodox Jew, lives in the Jewish community of Hebron in Tel Rumeida with his wife and nine children. He is the leader of the Religious Zionism-orientated Jewish National Front party. He claims he was the "right hand man" of assassinated Rabbi Meir Kahane, acting as spokesman for the American rabbi’s Kach organization for ten years until it was outlawed in Israel and the US as a terrorist organization. The mainstream Israeli press regularly describes him as an "extreme right-wing activist.
Jewish National Front Party? Right hand man of assassinated Rabbi Meir Kahane?? Extreme right-wing activist??? That is being way to kind! He’s a god damn nazi!! Just look at this criminal…. how could his own mother even love that?
After reading the article below and seeing which 'Jews’ were involved in the protest I felt that the headline was very misleading… it should have read 'nazis protest Arab construction in Israel’.
Jews protest Arab construction in Israel
By Izzy Lemberg
More than 1,000 police officers were deployed to the southern Israeli Bedouin town of Rahat on Sunday morning as two dozen Jewish right-wing extremists protested what they said was unlawful Arab construction on neighboring hilltops.
A Bedouin Arab girl protests near an Israeli police roadblock on the outskirts of Rahat in Israel on Sunday.
Several hundred Bedouin residents who are Israeli citizens held a counter-demonstration in the center of town.
About 25 protesters arrived in two buses under police presence. They were allowed to march a short distance, as police on horseback and in a helicopter hovered around.
Police closed off the main road to prevent the two sides from coming into contact.
"They are taking over the land of Israel without permission, building on hilltops as you can see here to the right and to the left," said Baruch Marzel, who is associated with the banned Kach movement.
Far-right parliament member Michael Ben Ari of the National Union party said allowing Bedouins to settle on hilltops while removing Jews from hilltops in the West Bank is discrimination.
In the town center, residents held a demonstration with lawmakers from Israeli Arab parties in attendance.
Talab El-Sana, a Bedouin from the Democratic Arab Party, urged the counter-demonstrators to show restraint.
"We told the people to be quiet, we are not against the policemen, we are against these people who call for discrimination or transfer for the Arabs," he told CNN.
Settler organizations have publicly proclaimed their intention of rebuilding at least eleven outposts in newspapers across Israel today. They claim to be taking a stand against the international pressure on Israel to destroy illegal settlements and freeze all settlement activity. What is really going on with this public proclamation of intent?
Why would they inform the entire world about their intent before doing anything? Why not rebuild the outposts and then tell the world? This is another instance of the game that the settlers along with the authorities of the state of Israel are playing to make the settlement issue into something that it is not. It is not a violent internal struggle, at least between the settlers and the IDF. The settlers do not exist without the full permission of the Israeli government and the military support of the IDF. These settler proclamations are a simple way to create an image of a problem for the international media. Israel attempts to create the illusion of a painful cost of removing outposts as a result of stunts like this settler proclamation. It is a silly game.

We should also keep in mind that it is the middle of summer which means summer vacation for the children. What is a better way for children to spend summer vacation than to rebuild outposts and fight with the army in staged photo op?
July 26th, 2009. Israeli settlers occupy a house in Sheik Jarrah, a Palestinian neighborhood in East Jerusalem. This is part of a larger plan by settlers, the most visible of them, Irving Moskowitz, an American Jew, to put facts on the ground in East Jerusalem, halting any attempts by Palestinians to claim East Jerusalem as a capital for their future state. In the meantime what is occurring is nothing short of ethnic cleansing of thousands of Palestinians from homes they have lived in for fifty years or more.
CNN for some reason DOES NOT report on these incidents…. I wonder why.
