. . Watch Video Report Israeli soldiers hauled Jewish settlers out of a disputed house in the West Bank city of Hebron Thursday, firing tear gas and stun grenades to subdue the extremists who pelted them with rocks, eggs and chemicals. Rioting by settlers quickly spread to other parts of the Palestinian territory. Settlers set fires around two Palestinian homes, attacked motorists and burned tires to protest the eviction in Hebron. Others blocked the main road to Jerusalem, and scuffled with police who tried to disperse them. Palestinians reported one person injured by settler gunfire. The army declared the entire Hebron region a "closed military zone," barring nonresidents from entering. Hebron, a city of 170,000 Palestinians with about 500 of the most extreme Jewish settlers living in their midst, has for decades been a focal point of Israeli-Arab violence. The biblical city is the traditional burial site of Abraham, the shared patriarch of both Jews and Muslims, and that shrine is a major source of friction in Hebron. In the latest clash, some 600 soldiers and policemen took over the disputed Hebron house in a surprise operation. They quickly began dragging out people barricaded inside one by one, their hands and legs held by teams of two or four officers. Young boys and girls scuffled with police, punching and hitting soldiers. Security forces in full riot gear used stun grenades and tear gas to repel the settlers. Army spokeswoman Maj. Avital Leibovitz said the evacuation was completed in about 20 minutes. After they were forcibly removed, the settlers attempted to go back into the four-story building, but soldiers formed a human chain around it to keep them out. "This is an act of scoundrels, Jews evicting Jews from their homes," settler leader Daniella Weiss told Israel's Channel 10 TV. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's spokesman Mark Regev countered: "In Israel, the rule of law prevails and not the rule of the vigilante." Israel's rescue service said 25 people on both sides were hurt. One of the settlers sustained serious head wounds, and he was whisked into an ambulance on a stretcher. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said a policeman was moderately injured after a chemical liquid was tossed in his face. Nearby, fist fights broke out between settler youths and Palestinians. Israeli rescue services deployed two helicopters along with a fleet of ambulances to the scene to evacuate the wounded. Police said they arrested 11 rioters who stoned officers.
Every pain have to finish, every night have to be in day, hope one day Palestinians would get back their occupied land.
Huh?! what happens where and when? Yeah, we all hope the palestinians will form a democratic state, abandon armed fight and have normal relationships with Israel.
"HUH?" - dude don't act so naive. You know what I am talking about. Home demolitions and kicking out the owners of those homes, happens all the time to Palestinians. And maybe just maybe, Israel can stop demolishing homes, killing unborn children... then a people(Palestinians) can stop arming themselves to DEFEND.
Take all the settlers out from where they do not belong! About time Israel did something about the ILLEGAL settlements. There still needs to be done more! But it is a step in the right direction.
WTH does that have to do with illegal settlements in the west bank that israel is EXPANDING? NOTHING!
It's called the Arab Revolt of 1929, Zionists made up the name Hebron Massacre for sympathy so they could use it for justification for their claims that arabs hate them? Who knows. More Arabs died than Jews. You constantly try to hide the fact that you are Jewish, as if your claims will be any less rediculous coming from a non Jew lmao. http://www.zionismwatch.com/informa...he-cause-of-the-israelpalestine-conflict.html http://www.zionismwatch.com/information/59-israels-ultimate-goal.html
During the week of riots, at least 116 Arabs and 133 Jews were killed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1929_Palestine_riots you stink from miles away... FUUU....
It was a massacre, as it was initiated by the arabs to murder as many Jewish settlers as they could. After that the Jewish settlers tried to re-establish but in the arab revolt of 1936, all the Jewish people were forced to leave their homes, unable to return for 30 years.
Oh, really? You will probally dissapear now after having your poorly constructed sympathy story debunked but i will reply anyway. http://domino.un.org/unispal.nsf/1c...16b8c7cc809b7e5b8525694b0071f3bd!OpenDocument Any questions?
If I do disappear, it's only because having a conversation with you is not on my "things to do list". But I did come back only out of curiousity, to ask how did you debunk my, as you would say, "poorly constructed sympathy story". The massacre of Hebron, and the intent of the arabs to murder the Jewish settlers are historic facts. You are not trying to suggest that these are fairy tales, or are you?
