Not Kishinev but From Itamar Back to Maaleh Hahamisha

Lenny Ben-David has posted two photos at his blog.

One is of the biers of the Fogel Family, slaughtered in 2011 at Itamar.

The second is of the victims of the Kishinev pogrom.

But there is a third. The incident was in 1937:

On November 9, 1937, five Jewish workers set out to work in the fields of Kibbutz Kiryat Anavim, near Jerusalem. They were encircled by an Arab gang and after exchanges of fire, all five were killed and robbed of their rifles (Kibbutz Maaleh Hahamisha - The Hill of the Five - was named for them). The murder stunned the Jewish community in Jerusalem, but despite their pain and anger, the leaders of the Jewish Agency continued to call for restraint.

At the funeral were 50,000.




Very shortly after, the Kibbutz of Maaleh HaHamisha was established.

So, the real parallel picture is my third one - the Zionist response for decades has been to build, to continue normal life activity, not to yield in the face of terror.

"Zionist response for decades has been to build"

So now you have apartheid. And what is the Zionist response to the global demand for human rights for everyone in Erez Israel ?

You have anti-Zionism.

We do give human rights but not political rights to people who do not derve them. The Arabs of Israel vote, get elected, some serve in the Army, there is no separate toilets or drinking fountains.

Either come up with more intelligent and informed points or stay away, even though you guys are so funny at times in your nonsense.
