Palestinians Hurl Stones at Jewish Worshippers… Again By Andrew L. Jaffee, February 27, 2004	Home   Search   Forum   Terms

Some Palestinians hold absolutely nothing sacred. Today, a mob of Palestinian teenagers hurled rocks at Jews praying at Judaism’s most holy site, the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem. Just to set the record straight, a stone can kill. This isn’t “peaceful resistance.” And this isn’t the first time such an incident has occurred.

Palestinians threw stones at worshippers at the Wailing Wall on September 30, 2000, October 6, 2000, and July 30, 2001, just to name a few times such violence has been expressed. Let’s not forget when Palestinians assaulted one of their own, the Egyptian Foreign Minister, on the Temple Mount above the Wailing Wall. And what about the Palestinian desecration of the patriarch Joseph’s tomb?

The left and the Islamists ascribe such violent acts of desecration to Palestinian “desperation.” I lay the blame for this brutal behavior on the ugly, bigoted ideas that Palestinians are taught from the day of birth.
