Porat: IDF Left Terrorists in Churches but Forces Jews from Synagogues

(IsraelNN.com) Former Knesset Member Rabbi Chanan Porat tearfully said Thursday night that the Sharon government refused to allow soldiers to remove terrorists who hid in Bethlehem churches last year but ordered them to evict Jews from Gush Katif synagogues Thursday.
He spoke to an Israel radio reporter who was describing the violence between expulsion opponents and security forces and asked Porat," Was all this necessary? Isn't this [scene] the fault of the national religious [camp]?"
Porat said the scene was not necessary and the fault is the "evil Prime Minister Ariel Sharon." The Israel Radio reporter, in questioning Porat, accused the opponents of being responsible for desecration of holy objects by holding Torah scrolls during the forced evacuation.
I know Barry Chamish is Way Out There, but on his web site he claims that Israel is importing foreign non-Jewish soldiers to do the expelling, since many Jewish soldiers would refuse to do so.
