August 27, 2009 - Wall Street Journal -

"....Yet another wrenching exile and return, now rarely remembered, occurred 80 years ago this week. On Aug. 23-24, 1929, the Jewish community of Hebron was exiled following a horrific pogrom. The tragedy is known as Tarpat, an acronym for its date in the Hebrew calendar. -

Until 1929, Jews had lived in Hebron for three millennia. There, according to Jewish tradition, Abraham purchased the cave of Machpelah to bury Sarah. It was the first parcel of land owned by the Jewish people in their promised land. Ever since, religious Jews revered Hebron as the burial site of their matriarchs and patriarchs.

“In the Anglo-Palestine Bank, where 23 corpses were discovered, blood covered the tile floor. That day, three children under the age of five were murdered. Teenage girls, their mothers and grandmothers were raped and killed. Rabbis and their students were castrated before they were slain.

Standard Operating Procedure for Moslems, and it has been since the advent of the bloody pirate Mohammed.

He was a ...

PIRATE
THIEF
MURDERER
GENOCIDIST
TORTURER
EXECUTIONER
THIEF
PLUNDERER
DESPOT
OPPRESSOR
POLYGAMIST
RAPIST
PEDOPHILE
MISOGYNIST
ADULTERER
RACIST
LIAR
TRUCEBREAKER

Islamic teaching cals Mohammed, with all the abovelisted traits, “the perfect man”, to whom all moslem men must aspire.

Mohamedanism is a death cult for bloody savages.
