The 1929 Arab Terror Attack: When Hebron Became Occupied Territory Hebron was the first piece of land ever purchased by a Jew in Israel. Approximately 38 centuries ago, the patriarch Abraham purchased a cave in Hebron to bury his beloved wife Sarah. Jews have owned land in Hebron from then until the early part of the 20th century. On Friday, August 23, 1929, that changed. Things began to stir as the Jewish community was preparing for the Sabbath: At about half past two on Friday we saw a young Arab arrive by motorcycle from Jerusalem.

If only we had known in 1929, that nasty pogrom would not have been necessary. Our Arab neighbors don't want to kill us, they just don't want us to live here. If only we'd voluntarily remove ourselves en masse, we'd have piece at last, just like we do in Aza. But they will graciously...

Despite the overwhelming evidence, why do some archeologists claim that Hebron was uninhabited during the times of Moses and Joshua? The city of Hebron presents a unique problem to the Biblical archaeologist. Ancient Hebron, located a few miles west of the Dead Sea and about 20 miles south of Jerusalem, figures prominently in the Jewish Bible, mentioned more than 70 times. Hebron is known to be one of the oldest cities in the world. Josephus Flavius, the noted first century CE Jewish historian, stated that in his time Hebron was already 2,300 years old!1 The city with its rolling hills...

Isn't it funny how so much of the world cries when they hear the proverbial Arabian story that "my grandmother" or "my grandfather" still has the key to this home or that building in Jerusalem or Haifa or Beer Sheva if only the Zionists didn't throw them out of this house they would still live there to this day. Even though it is pretty worn out and dollars to donuts a lie much of the time, it still provokes anger and creates tears from the gullible anti-Jew. How easy it is to create animosity towards Jews.

As another U.S.-sponsored peace process winds down without result amid changes of administration in Washington and Israel, and...

The Israeli and international medias are abuzz with reports out of Hebron regarding yesterday’s forced removal of two Jewish families from an old wholesale market building they took over outside of the tiny defined Jewish area of the biblical town.
