Int'l Media Justify Synagogue Burnings 18:59 Sep 13, '05 / 9 Elul 5765 By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

Several major international media outlets have justified Arab burning 19 synagogues remaining on the ruins of Gush Katif. Arab Knesset Knesset supported destroying the Jewish sanctuaries.

Knight-Ridder News agency, a major news source for American dailies, reported, " 'I want to destroy everything here as they did the Al Aqsa mosque,' said Mahmoud Malahi, who told a reporter he had lost a leg to an Israeli tank when he was 15. 'I want to destroy everything here. It's a symbol of occupation. Destroying it is a symbol of Islam.'"

The news agency did not tell its readers that the Al-Aqsa mosque still stands on the Jewish Temple Mount and enjoys the same protected status as Christian and Jewish places of worship. Israel opened the Christian and Jewish holy places after it survived combined Arab attacks in the 1967 Six-Day War and Jordanian armies fled the eastern part of the city and the rest of Judea and Samaria.

Reporters for British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), reporting on the Arab mobs that overwhelmed the Gush Katif ruins, told viewers that Israel "stole" the Gaza region. "Palestinians came streaming to the settlements that caused them so much pain, to sightsee and to loot. Israel stole thirty-eight years from them. Today, many were ready to take back anything they could," BBC reported.

The Palestinians demanded that the homes be destroyed by Israel. They said they would never ever live in a home where jews had lived.

I thnk the bigger question is why, in an area of poverty, is either side destroying any buildings at all. How wasteful.

Israel destroyed the housing because the PA considered it unsuitable for their needs, and wanted it destroyed.

Despite poverty, many Palestinians want Israeli buildings demolished

That is almost unbearably stupid of the Palestinians...

I wonder why Sharon made that agreement to destroy the Synagogues and then didn't do it. Do you suppose he wanted the world to see how the Palestinians would behave?

Sadly, no big surprise there. As for the heathens destroying Christian places in Judea and Samaria, that wouldn't even be on the MSM's radar. The media only cares about the Koran and mosques, it doesn't give a flying rat's fig about synagogues, churches, Jews and Christians (except for the useful idiot lefty-religious-in-name-only types).

All this is again further evidence of where the good is and where the evil can be found, such a spiritual battle is at hand! Should be further evidence to all the world of how ferociously Satan is rearing his huge ugly head up against the One Truth, trying to quiet any mention of Truth about the God of the Bible! To think that almost ALL the world and it's Media is coming up against Israel and the God of Abraham at this time, in unison! - Such clear evidence and proof of the accuracy again of His Word, The Bible, the Battle Between Jehovah and Satan!
