Look at this YNET article on Jerusalem police officers making East Jerusalem
Palestinian kids take off their "offensive" t-shirts before going to
the Temple Mount.
A group of Arab summer camp children were banned from entering Temple Mount in Jerusalem while wearing their camp t-shirts.
When the children arrived at Temple Mount wearing their orange summer camp shirt, which read ''Al-Quds – Arab Culture Capital," police officers told them that if they wish to enter, the shirts must come off.
[Weiss: great that the headline from Ynet talks about their "humiliation"; good reporting by Tal Rabinovsky] Between yesterday's bigotry directed toward Haredi (check out the police chief's quote about Haredi: very similar to
statements about Arabs and Muslims. He had some others but they may
have been taken out of earlier versions of the riot stories. Jerry Haber notes the attitude in his post today) and today's bigotry directed
toward Palestinian kids, the Jerusalem Police Force should soon be
quoted by Israeli and SQL leaders as "the most moral police force in
the world."

Big deal. Do you guys ever make a stink that it is ILLEGAL for a Jew to pray at the site? To pray at our holyest site is illegal! No closing your eyes, no swaying back and forth no prayer books. So excuse me if I don't break down and cry if little kids can't wear seditious shirts to our holyest site.
How is wearing a shirt bearing the name of a revered city seditious?
"No closing your eyes, no swaying back and forth no prayer books" What a goddamn NUT. Shut the hell up and quit making the Jews look like psychopaths just because YOU'RE a psychopath.
LOL, so true. I think Zionists in the vein of psychos like Thom/Eitan/Scum in Jerusalem WANT Jews to be hated. That justifies everything Israel does for them so they need that pretext.
RE: Ynet talks about their "humiliation" FROM HAARETZ, 11/14/08: (excerpt) …Last week, soldiers from the Golani infantry brigade posted a video on YouTube depicting a blindfolded Palestinian being forced to repeat phrases in Hebrew as the soldiers manning the checkpoint laugh in the background. One of the lines is: "Golani will bring you a log to stick up your ass." As the detainee repeats the words, the soldiers are heard laughing raucously in the background….

RE: "No closing your eyes, no swaying back and forth no prayer books." NEWS FROM THE HOLY LAND: "10 police officers hurt as Jerusalem riots continue into the night", by Jonathan Lis, Haaretz Correspondent, 07/17/09 (EXCERPT) Riots in Jerusalem over the recent arrest of an ultra-Orthodox woman suspected of starving her 3-year-old son escalated as demonstrators concluded their third consecutive day of violent protests with no indication that they were planning to ease up. So far ten police officers have been lightly hurt by stone throwers. Three of them were taken to the emergency room at Hadassah hospital after sustaining head injuries. All in all, hundreds of police officers participated in the dispersal efforts, including officers called up from other districts. 20 demonstrators were detained for questioning. Hundreds of people also arrived at a rally, in support of the mother, held at Jerusalem's Shabbat Square. The demonstrators called out insults against Hadassah hospital, where the ill boy is recuperating…. ENTIRE ARTICLE – http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1100683.html
Again completely unrelated comment from Dickerson serving no purpose to the actual debate at hand.
To paraphrase Netanyahu (slightly altered): It is 1938 and Israel (not Iran) is Germany.
It is ALWAYS innapropriate to make a Nazi comparison. It's done far too much these days. One thing you might notice is that I compare NOBODY to Nazis ever. It's just a way of opting out of arguing on an intellectual level by making an emotional "low blows" to Jews who were effected by the horror. I really am going to try to limit my responses to people that make Nazi comparison save only to point out %99 it is not relevant to compare Jews or Arabs or anyone to Nazi.
Richard, stop that! or i am gonna' fall in love wid you!
RE: "…their orange summer camp shirt, which read ''Al-Quds – Arab Culture Capital," police officers told them that if they wish to enter, the shirts must come off…" SEE ALSO: "Wiping Arabic Names Off the Map – Israeli Road Signs", By JONATHAN COOK, 07/17/09 (EXCERPT) Thousands of road signs are the latest front in Israel’s battle to erase Arab heritage from much of the Holy Land. Israel Katz, the transport minister, announced this week that signs on all major roads in Israel, East Jerusalem and possibly parts of the West Bank would be “standardised”, converting English and Arabic place names into straight transliterations of the Hebrew name. Currently, road signs include the place name as it is traditionally rendered in all three languages. Under the new scheme, the Arab identity of important Palestinian communities will be obscured: Jerusalem, or “al Quds” in Arabic, will be Hebraised to “Yerushalayim”; Nazareth, or “al Nasra” in Arabic, the city of Jesus’s childhood, will become “Natzrat”; and Jaffa, the port city after which Palestine’s oranges were named, will be “Yafo”….

The apartheid S African regime said the same thing. If this is so, then the model for evil that was the Nazi State, that is, all its means and ends and the interrelation between them, must be irrelevant. The concept of Fascism too? The internationally recognized "crimes against humanity," and "aggressive war" etc were all extracted from that model. And those ex post facto laws hung the German leaders at Nuremberg. Nothing is more appropriate than to make the comparison when it seems to fit, and to the extent it does not fit, should also be argued. The same crime is very rarely committed in exactly the same way. The principles of the criminal law as articulated by legislation (and common law in the USA & England) are always applied to the facts in the instant case.
Good question. Compare those Israeli t-shirts with the sniper logo on civilians.
Another ignorant posting from the goofballs at MondoLies. The Temple Mount in Jerusalem is the holiest site in all of Judaism. Islam has claimed it for itself, as Islam has done to very holy sites of several other religions. In1967, immediately after the Six Day War, Moshe Dayan (an anti-religion activist) granted control of the Temple Mount to the Waqf, the Islamic authority. To keep the Waqf happy, Jews are not supposed to enter the holiest site in Judaism and by Israeli law are not allowed to pray AT ALL. The Waqf actually sends inspectors to shadow any Jews who visit to ensure that they do not move their lips. No kidding! No prayer books, no groups of Jewish tourists more than a handful at a time, no Jewish religious articles, no mumbling of prayers off by heart. Israeli law COOPERATES with this ISLAMIC BIGOTRY… and MondoLies is worried about… T-SHIRTS???? What a bunch of ignorant MondoBigots!
From Jake's description it is clear that on both sides of the conflict, there is suffering. The Palestinians are confined to an open air prison and attacked by air sea and land. At the same time, Jews are suffering horribly too. They are not allowed to engage in their bizarre and ludicrous devil worship in the vicinity of several crumbling structures in Jerusalem. Who said you lacked perspective, Jake?
Thank you for your erudite contribution. For homework, go look up "erudite". MondoBigot.
