THE GENOCIDAL SETTLERS PRAISED BY ISRAELI PM
On this day in 2019, Israeli settlers assaulted and hospitalised Husam Abu Hadid, Treasurer of Hebron Rehabilitation Committee in the old city of Hebron. The first leader of the Hebron settlers, Rabbi Moshe Levinger, was asked about his feelings for 29 Palestinians massacred in Hebron and replied, “I am not only sorry for dead Arabs, but also sorry for dead flies as well.” Netanyahu praised Levinger and Israeli President Rivlin said “his ability to build the settlement movement made him one of Israel’s most treasured sons”.امتدح رئيس الوزراء الإسرائيلي جرائم المسطوطنين

في مثل هذا اليوم من عام 2019 ، اعتدى مستوطنون إسرائيليون على حسام أبو حديد أمين صندوق لجنة إعمار الخليل في البلدة القديمة في الخليل ونقل إلى المستشفى. سُأل أول زعيم لمستوطني الخليل ، الحاخام موشيه لفينجر ، عن مشاعره نحو 29 فلسطينيًا الذين قتلوا في الخليل ، فأجاب: "أنا لست آسفًا للقتلى العرب فحسب ، بل آسف أيضًا على الذباب الميت أيضًا". وأشاد نتنياهو بلفينجر وقال الرئيس الإسرائيلي ريفلين إن "قدرته على بناء الحركة الاستيطانية جعلته واحدا من أعز أبناء إسرائيل".
The genocidal Jewish settlers of Hebron can't bear to see Palestinians.
"The Israel military welded shut the street-facing doors of all the Palestinian homes and shops, and by the time of the Second Intifada in 2000, had turned the bustling thoroughfare into a ghost street on which no one was permitted to set foot. No one, that is, who is Palestinian. Israeli Jews and foreign visitors are free to come and go..."
The inspiring story of the Hebron Rehabilitation Committee
"A ghost city revived: the remarkable transformation of Hebron. When the Israeli army barricaded the entrance to Usama Abu Sharek’s home in Hebron, he and his family were forced to climb over walls or clamber through windows on their way in and out of their 500-year-old property. The barricades were to allow hardline Jewish settlers to reach their houses without having to encounter their Palestinian neighbours."
Netanyahu called Levinger,, the supporter of mass murder of Muslim worshippers at prayer "an outstanding example of a generation that sought to realize the Zionist dream, in deed and in spirit, after the Six Day War”.
For Israeli President Rivlin, the murderous racist was "one of our most treasured sons and founders of the Jewish community here",
The solidarity of the pro-Israel lobby extends from Labour Friends of Israel via Netanyahu and Rivlin to include the most genocidal elements of the settler movement.
Levinger had studied under Rabbi Kook, founder of Mercaz HaRav:.
"Mercaz HaRav yeshiva is based on contempt for all Gentiles, not only Arabs. This yeshiva was founded by Rabbi A.Y. Kook, and later led by his son, T.Y. Kook. The manner in which young minds are shaped at this Yeshiva can be guessed from one of A.Y.'s spiritual pronouncements, that “The difference between a Jewish soul and souls of non-Jews – all of them in all different levels – is greater and deeper than the difference between a human soul and the souls of cattle.” Kook's classification of Palestinians as non-human allows the graduates of Mercaz HaRav to ignore those commandments that forbid stealing, murder and coveting.
