Chris Varley sends along this picture he took last spring of Baruch Goldstein's hallowed grave in a settlement near Hebron in the Occupied Territories. Note the stones on the grave, marks of reverence in Jewish tradition. Goldstein, a doctor who emigrated to those colonies from the U.S., and who reportedly refused to treat non-Jews, killed 29 Arabs in the spring of 1994 inside the Temple {sorry–Tomb) of the Patriarchs in Hebron before being beaten to death. During the festival of Purim (which celebrates the murders of thousands of enemies of the Jews in retaliation for a plot against Jews).
A friend says the inscription on the grave can be translated:
Here was buried
the saint
the Doctor Reb Baruch Kapel Goldstein
May this saint and righteous's memory be blessed, God will revenge his
blood
son of Reb Israel, may he live a long and good life
a seventh generation for the old rebbe "Baal Hatanya"
Reb Shneor Zalman from Liadi
he gave his life for the people of Israel, their bible and their land
he who is clean and couragous
was born in He in Tevet TSYZ
was murdered for worshipping god
in Adar, Purim TSND
May his soul be bounded in the bundle of life
