Muslim policemen shouting "Allahu akbar" open fire on Jews praying at Joseph's Tomb

"It was crazy, they were shooting to kill."

And yet the world will continue to condemn Israel and portray the Palestinians as victims. "Witness: Shooters yell Allahu Akbar," by Yair Altman for Ynet News, April 24 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

A group of Breslov Hassidim's regular twilight visit to Palestinian controlled Joseph's Tomb in Nablus came to a tragically violent end Sunday: According to one of the Breslovers, Palestinian police officers fired at the convoy as they were on their way in to the Tomb.

The fire continued as they drove out, killing Ben-Yosef Livnat, a 24 year-old father of four from Jerusalem and the nephew of Minister Limor Livnat, and injuring five others.

Military, Palestinians investigating shooting of Israelis near Joseph's Tomb. Initial details suggest event was security incident....

One of the Breslovers who was in the second car in the convoy and was lightly wounded told Ynet: "We arrived at the tomb like on many occasions in the past. Near the tomb we saw a spikes chain. One of the guys jumped out of the car and moved it aside.

"At this point a uniformed Palestinian police officer with a Kalashnikov in a jeep woke his colleagues up and they started firing into the air…I was in the front seat. We started driving fast in the direction of the tomb; we got out of the vehicles and kissed the tomb.

"When we got back to the vehicles the police shot at the vehicles, they were screaming 'Allahu Akbar'. It was crazy, they were shooting to kill. I screamed at the driver to drive out of there quickly. When we got to Har Bracha we attended to the wounded."...

i think that it is time that israel establishes a few rogue units (sort of like unit 101 led by meir har tzion and ariel sharon)that officially 'do not exist, we, the state, know nothing about them, we are doing everything to apprehend'...yada yada yada...so this, bibi could say with a straight face (and a **slight** twinkle in his eye when interviewed by such stalwarts of the msm as anderson cooper (spit!) wolf blitzer (repeat!) and others....

meanwhile, this 'rogue unit' will ensure that all those that have been involved **AND OTHERS** (just to be on the safe side)will be helped, to go and look for their 72 virgins....so let's spin this as a win-win story.

I find it interesting, YNet is widely considered a far left of center news site. Jerusalem Post is thought to be more centrist - Caroline Glick is its associate editor. Yet this and other similar stories are featured more often on YNet than the Post. I have yet to read this - religious motive for murder - in today's Jerusalem Post. YNet (Talkback) screeners seem to be more liberal in terms of reader's content than do J. Post screeners.

A PA policeman spokesperson justified the shooting and murder of unarmed Jewish civilians by saying that settlers 'are not normal' people. But isn't that how they feel about all Jews- men, women, children and the elderly? Any Jew is a legit target.

He also went on to say that there is no room for Jews in a Palestinian state. Not that it matters- they have no reason or need to even pretend to negotiate for peace or a state anymore. The rest of the world is happy to declare a Palestinian state without reaching any kind of understanding in regards to the safety of Israel.

The Third Infatada begins.

The Third Infatada begins.

AP's spin is that tours are OK'ed by both sides; and the Israelis are escorted by an Israeli guard to the site. This group, however, lacked authorization from both sides. AP was also pleased to inform the reader that one of the Israelis is the nephew of an "extreme right" Likud memember of the Knesset. I'm no expert on Law enforcement, but yelling about your god and shooting to kill seems like "extreme" policing to me. No arrest for trespassing, no trial, just capitol punishment on the the spot. Shameful, but not really surprising.

May the departed rest in peace.

Israel must be allowed to protect itself.

what i find 'shameful' and leaving me totally scratching my head is that on 'arutz 7' israel news, ...

"Brig. Gen. Nitzan Alon issued a short statement and expressed no anger at the murder of a Jewish citizen of Israel by PA "police."

is EVERYBODY crazy or what???

why not just hand in the keys to the muslimes kiss goodbye and shut off the lights???

what i see all around is all resistance to the spread of this cancerous curse called islam falling one by one by the wayside....

Muslim policemen shouting "Allahu akbar" open fire on Jews praying at Joseph's Tomb

As if pious Muslims didn't have their hands full on this Easter Sunday threatening and bombing Christians, there's plenty of Islamic hatred left to murder worshipping Jews, as well.

"Security incident"—is *that* what they call it when Palestinian police murder Jews?

And they were screaming "Allahu Akbar" while they did it—which would be odd, if this were just about a car full of visitors ignoring a routine traffic stop...

Maybe it's harsh, I don't really know.
But i have very little sympathy for dhimmi's.
I understand they suffer but you don't have to be a dhimmi.
Get off your knees and start fighting back.

Where are the Kahanists ??

Where are the Kahanists? Don't just sit and talk, do something !!

Easily said when one is sitting in a comfortable airmchair in a nice home in a tolerant, diverse, Western democratic nation.

"allahu akubar" the cry of hate and primitiveness!
This cry should be met with a blast of bullets - shoot
to kill!

I want to point out that this story is a lie. The Israeli government has not classified this as a terrorist attack. The car carrying the Israelis refused to stop at a checkpoint and was shot at. They had no authorization to be there in fact Israelis are forbidden from entering by the Israeli government.Furthermore there have been several attacks on Palestinians in the area carried out by Jewish fanatics trying to gain revenge for the murder last month of a Jewish family. I am long time reader of your site Robert but you have lately been doing little other than shoveling out propaganda for Israel without checking the facts. If you want your site to succeed in it's worthy aim you'll clarify the facts on the above story.

I just read the Ynet story. It would appear that Jews visit Joseph’s tomb on a nightly basis without first coordinating the visit with the IDF. On this occasion, an uncoordinated visit, one Palestinian guard was awake and fired his AK-47 into the air as a warning. When the Jews did not leave, he roused his snoring comrades and they proceeded to launch an all out attack on the Jews, killing one and injuring others. The fact that the Palestinians used the jihadist war cry “Allahu Akbar” would indicate they used the opportunity to full advantage, i.e., to murder and maim as many Jews as possible. The Palestinians could have just as easily escorted the unarmed Jews off the property without firing a shot.

Please excuse me if I don't wait for Israel to classify these murders as anything at all.

What I see are undisciplined, savage, superstitious, imperious Muslims firing their guns disregarding human life, and screaming about their erstwhile blood-god while doing it.

Do I need a dictionary to be disgusted by the behavior? Where exactly did Robert classify this as a "terrorist attack"?

If kids in your neighborhood come onto your property to go cow-tipping do you shoot them dead, screaming about God, justifying your actions with religious ideals?

It's obvious even from the story that these people were sneaking, God forbid, a visit to a revered historical figure's tomb.

Can you please tell me why these ghouls from hell are allowed to even be near these Christian and Jewish relics?

They should be wrapped in those spikes and thrown into the Jordan. Screw you and your "fairness". These people, and I used that term unwillingly, are effing police officers. Do you see that there is no difference between these people and sociopaths? Allah is the greatest!!

So there are a few angry "fanatics" (what makes you call them, fantatics, exactly? Is that part of the not-propaganda part?) trying to get revenge...criminals, right?

What are these officers' excuse for killing essentially pranksters on their yearly kiss to Joseph's tomb.

It's not like they blew up hundreds in the city of Mumbai or slaughtered innocent people during the "security incident". Why exactly would the Palestinians put spikes around a Christian and Jewish holy place? Because they're great people?

Take your moral equivalence and throw it away and try looking at the absurdity of the situation instead of playing the Gaza/Israel make it up as they go along "rule" game.

If you fail to stop at a check point, in Palestine, Iraq, Northern Ireland, Chechnya or anywhere else you run the risk or being shot at. The Israeli government agrees as it has no classified this as a terrorist attack in other words it sees that that Palestinian police opened fire with good reason. Israeli soldiers would have done the same thing. Furthermore the following comment:

"What I see are undisciplined, savage, superstitious, imperious Muslims firing their guns disregarding human life, and screaming about their erstwhile blood-god while doing it."

will be removed by Robert if he has any sense as it marks you out as an ignorant bigot.

..........................

Very true, Mike. Dhimmitude practiced in Dar-al-Islam by insecure Infidels is not pleasant to watch, but it is understandable.

What is neither understandable nor defensible is when dhimmitude is carried out in the civilized West. If we don't take a stand when it is (largely) safe to do so, we will soon find ourselves in the position of those threatened dhimmis in the Muslim world.

Gunfire, You said they ran a check point and that is the reason they were shot at.

Do you mean to tell me that they get no trial no day in court or no arrest they are simply gunned down?

If the answer is yes, then I say what is the differance between being gunned down stopping for the check point, or running through the check point? They were to be killed either way.

Isn't jihad about killing kufars (non-Muslims) world wide? With that in mind, I guess I wouldn't stop at a Muslim check point either. In fact without protection I'd stay as far away from Muslims as I could.

If a Palestinian vehicle drove at an Israeli checkpoint without stopping would they get a day in court?

In your scenario...no the pali most likely wouldn't get a day in court and I'll tell you why. Palis are encouraged to go on suicide missions- to kill themselves and murder Jews. I remember a few years back there was a 16 yr. old pali girl who drove a car packed with dynamite into a checkpoint, killing herself and a few Israeli soldiers. How many times have we heard of suicide bombers rushing checkpoints? They are often disguised as sick or pregnant women. They don't get shot at for no reason, unlike the Jews who were going to pray.

Here's my question: why the HELL are Muslims permitted to control Jewish access to a Jewish shrine on ancestral Hebrew traditional land, in the first place?

WHY should Jews have to jump through elaborate security hoops before they can visit and pray at a Jewish site? ( A site that Muslims have, in the past, viciously vandalised, by the way).

During the Muslim imperium over eretz Israel, many Jewish and Christian holy places were seized by Muslims and appropriated for exclusive Muslim use. (James Parkes talks about this, and lists some of the places thus seized - quite a few of them - in his book 'Whose Land?'). From 1267 to 1967 NO JEW was allowed inside the Cave of Machpelah, the burial place of Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob and Leah. That's *700 years* of strutting, sneering, gloating deliberate Muslim humiliation and HURTING of Jews. The Muslims grabbed and squatted on the Hebrews' most ancient holy place and excluded the Jews from any real access to it: their reasons being, *I* think, sheer vicious, ugly, bullying spite. A contemptible spectacle, enough to make one want to vomit.

Like Gravenimage says: God, I hate Islam.
