Jews Cut Down Arab Olive Trees
On Saturday night Jews destroyed 205 olive trees belonging to Palestinians from the village of Salim. Lets make things clear. As a Jew, and a citizen of Israel, I am ashamed of this hideous and criminal act. If this disgusting act of hatred and vandalism was done by religious settlers as suggested by the local police, I can only say that the perpetrators may pretend to be religious Jews, but in my eyes they are pagans, horrible people that I would vomit them from the Jewish community if I only could. These people are not only destroying people's income and livelihood, but they install hatred and animosity, which creates feelings of revenge and can be a major cause in motivating terrorism and violence. I came to live in Israel because I am proud to be Jewish, and I want my children and hopefully their future generations to receive the same kind of wonderful education my parents and Jewish community gave to me, and to continue these Jewish values that I am sure has helped keep Jews united and strong even when suffering terrible torment under very hard and frightening times in our long history. It is so sad and scary that some religious Jews are influencing future generations to lose their Jewish identity and values and to use Judaism as a justification to commit criminal acts of violence. If I have to chose between a secular Jew who respects his neighbours and teaches his children to strive for peace with those that probably are full of hatred towards him, yet are willing to fight like lions in the defence of Israel and the future of the Jewish people, or those vial hoodlums who disguise themselves as religious Jews and spend their spare time on Motzei Shabbat destroying olive groves, I'm sure from the gist of this blog you all know who I would choose.
I suggest that anyone who knows who committed this horrendous crime , for the sake of the Jewish people, turn these criminals over to the relevant authorities immediately, so that they will never do such unkind and nauseating acts of violence again.
Have we Jews not suffered so much by such ugly deeds over the past 2000 years that we have to copy what was done to us and commit the same acts of shameful barbarism onto others less fortunate!!!!!!
