IDF Pushes Back Rioters North of Capital
Arutz Sheva ^ | 5/6/11 | Gil Ronen

Posted on 06/05/2011 10:27:51 AM PDT by Eleutheria5

Border Police blocked an attempt by hundreds of Arabs to march into Jerusalem Sunday. The police used stun grenades and tear gas to disperse the march, near the Kalandiya checkpoint north of Jerusalem.

Stymied in their original plan, the Arabs proceeded to burn tires and hurl rocks at police (see photos below).

The march was part of the rioting marking 44 years since the Arab armies’ ignominious defeat at the hands of the IDF in the Six Day War.

In Samaria, hundreds of Arabs and their leftist sympathizers tried to burn down a memorial for a fallen IDF soldier.

The Arabs and leftists held a rally at a school which was illegally constructed within the municipal zone of Elon Moreh. They then marched toward Ein Kfir, where they tried to vandalize a memorial for fallen IDF soldier Kfir Hezy. Hezy, a resident of Elon Moreh, was killed in southern Lebanon in 1997.

Residents of Elon Moreh constructed a pool next to a natural spring and named it after Hezy.

The Arabs and the leftists lit tires in the memorial but IDF soldiers dispersed them before they could do any serious damage to the site.

Stun grenades and tear gas? Wake me when live ammo is authorized.

The Israelis ought to quickly get a handle on this. Good heavens what happens if 10,000 unarmed Arabs march to Jerusalem? Or 50,000? This is not looking good to me.

Crocodiles are misunderstood. They’re really just frustrated vegetarians who don’t like people sticking their legs in the drinking water. We understand them, so we get to ride on their backs, and are perfectly safe, so long as we keep promising to help them eat other people.

The Arabs are boxing with God and they will lose...miserably. Howdy Doody will also find out the hard way that he shouldn’t usurp Gods authority. This is going to make Jericho look like a picnic.

Not to worry. The IDF was forced to off 12 Muslim psychos as they tried to storm the Golan Heights border fence
