In light of Arab violence, Israeli towns & cities shut their gates to Palestinian workers

 

The closure is on Jewish communities and does not include the industrial areas, still a good example of coexistence, or the Gush Etzion junction, where Arabs & Jews alike shop together at a Rami Levi supermarket.

By TOVAH LAZAROFF
Many settlements decided on Tuesday night to temporarily close their gates to Palestinian workers on Wednesday, and in some cases for the rest of the week, to protect themselves against possible attacks in their home communities.

Palestinians turned the Holy Muslim site into the Dome of the Rocks

 

view videoIs Al-Aqsa really as sacred as described, if the Palestinians use it to store rocks to incite violence, and is the filth & destruction caused worth repelling the ‘filthy infidels’?

By Tsvi Sadan

 

The latest Temple Mount rioting during Rosh Hashanah has demonstrated once again that Muslim holy places are regularly used in service to militant Islam.

The cinder blocks and rocks piled up inside the Al Aqsa Mosque (Islam’s third holiest site) that turned prayer carpets into filthy rugs are a vivid reminder of the stark differences between the Muslim and Christian concepts of the sacred. From a Muslim point of view, dirty carpets are a small price to pay in the heroic effort to protect the holy place from the much greater filth of infidels. Continue Reading »

EU foreign policy chief explains that terror stabbings will continue without Palestinian state, while Canada’s FM condemns continued incitement by Arab leaders.

By  Israel Today Staff

 

Following Monday’s deadly terror stabbings, Western leaders engaged in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process were quick to issue statements of condemnation, though their substance was disparate, and very telling as to whom Jerusalem could truly count on to understand its security needs.

The knife used in Monday’s stabbing attack in Judea, in which a young Jewish woman was killed and two others were wounded.

First up was new European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini, who expressed “concern” over the attacks, which she insisted was “further evidence” that the Palestinians now erupting in violence must be given their own state, lest the violence grow worse.
