Israel: Yom Kippur Riots

‘Yesterday marked the beginning of Yom Kippur, or, the Day of Atonement in the Jewish faith. It is a pitiful irony then, that it should end in riots accompanied with chants of “death to the Arabs”, following an attack on an Israeli Arab man who merely tried to drive from one side of the city to the other,’ writes Caledoniyya.

    ya know Jews are finally getting enough of Arab violence and their police following the leftest cowards and protecting themselves. no more porgrams from Arabs especially in Israel, no more repeats of Chevron murderous riots from Arabs. I am thrilled to see Jews fighting back. Arabs have been biting the hands that feed them to long. the time is come for Israel to face the fact that arabs in israel are a 5th columb and need to finalize the population exchange the arabs began years ago when they deported all Jews from their lands. Israel needs to send the other population packing and soon. You can not make peace with murderers and butchers.

    Extreme views will not help bring peace or justice to Israel and Palestine. As a Jew, I would never support the ethnic cleansing of Israeli Arabs. There is no justifiable “population exchange” position. And I say that as Jew of Moroccan descent, whose family had to flee Morocco. Two wrongs don’t make a right. The solution lies in cultivating an end to racism and anti-Semitism, an end to vicious anti-Israel propaganda on the one side and anti-Arab hatred on the other. We can get there, but we actually have to make the effort.

    Sadly you choose to tell only half the truth. Despite this, I think both sides came out as idiots in this event. Both Arab and Jewish attackers that is.
