The Palestinian attack today on Jewish yeshiva (rabbinical seminary) in Jerusalem struck at the heart of Israel's hard-line religious West Bank settler's movement.

CBS Evening News (March 6, 2008):

"A [Palestinian] gunman opened fire inside a rabbinical college that supports Israeli control over Palestinian territories.

...

The attack [at the Jewish yeshiva (rabbinical seminary) in Jerusalem] struck at the heart of the HARD-LINE [Jewish] religious [fundamentalists] WEST BANK SETTLERS' MOVEMENT.

...

The seminary is the Mercaz Harav yeshiva in the Kiryat Moshe quarter at the entrance to Jerusalem, a prestigious center of Jewish studies identified with the leadership of the Jewish settlement movement in the West Bank.

It was founded by the late Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Hacohen Kook, the movement's spiritual founder, and serves high school students and young Israeli soldiers, and many of them carry arms."

this is a sick article, there is no real justification for what happened yesterday. the more that tit for tat violence happens in israel and the occupied territories the more blodshed we will see, it is a disgrace that the murder of 8 civilians aged 15-19 is celebrated as a job well done, even the jewish chronicle is critical of israel when it kills innocent children!

NO PASARAN!

you are a disgrace!

EVERY international human rights organization has comdemned Israel's at least "reckless" and "recklessly negligent" (to use their words) killing of Palestinian civilians -- as well as the dire humanitarian crisis created by ISRAEL in the Gaza strip, which Israel has, in effect and purpose, ironically, turned into history's largest concentration camp for history's latest unwanted and "despised" minority, the Palestinians (turned into a minority in their own native land by invading Zionist Jews).

If Zionist Jews were to list the civilian deaths that *ISRAEL* has caused -- men, women, teenagers, little girls, little boys, and even babies -- in just the Gaza strip alone -- in just a week alone -- you would need *MULTIPLES* of a whole *LOT* more than 8 names.

If you Zionists care about civilian deaths, then why don't you grieve for the almost countless *Palestinian* civilian victims -- you know, the *indigenous* people that European Jews violently invaded, forced off the Palestinians' own land, an imposed a *foreign* apartheid state on? How could a people, European Jews, who have had their homes taken away so often by European Christians -- *not* by Palestinians -- go brutally take away the homes of another people? The once sometimes brutally oppressed European Jews have become the brutal oppressors themselves. But then, being *Zionists*, you *wouldn't* grieve for the Palestinian people.

(How do you think that the UK or U.S. or any other country/people would react if they were purposely invaded by violent outsiders, from thousands of miles away[!!], from entirely another continent[!!], with that violent intention?)

Then you can list the name of the *MILLIONS* of Palestinians brutally and often *terroristically* and homicidally driven from their homes for Israel -- "the land without a people" -- which is a state founded on ZIONIST JEWISH TERRORISM, with an argument that is literally worse than MEDIEVAL: "3,000 years ago GOD promised us Jews the land" and "We Jews once had a an ANCIENT KINGDOM there *2,000* years ago when the ROMANS kicked us out" because the ROMANS thought we were stirring up political trouble! What other country/people in the world would accept such an inanely ridiculous argument for a far away invading people to come take over their land and take their homes?

OYYY VEYYY...!!


a little question?

07.03.2008 21:16

did you previous 4 posters feel strongly enough about the 150+ palestinians killed in the last 7 days to make a post?

it makes me sick what you will justify in defence of israeli apartheid?

palestinians are defending themselves with stones and fireworks as they are getting zero defence from the international community

and only then do you raise your voice

fuck us for our complicity, we make me sick


fuck zionism


all killing of innocents is wrong you fuckwits!

08.03.2008 02:12

just because i show outrage at indymedia celebrating the killing of 8 civilians doesnt mean i am not disgusted by the arbitrary killing of the Palestinians you arse holes, you dont know how many pro peace protests i have been on, so dont claim that just because i am stunned that this website rejoices in the killing of young people doesnt mean that i dont care about the hundreds killed by Israel, so dont guilt trip me into believing your bullshit, you should be ashamed of yourself, this act isnt going to bring about peace in the middle east any more than the "security" wall cutting up the region but i dont celebrate that illegal peice of shit either! fuck off you ignorant reactionary idots who think that any sort of violence like this is going to make anyones lives better!

not a zionist

It wasn't just a 'religious school', it's really an ultra-right-wing Zionist indoctrination centre, which teaches its rabbinical 'Jewish Taliban' students HATRED, HARD-LINE RACISM and RIGHT-WING REVISIONISM.

Knew there was more to It...
