Arabs Blocked Road to Jerusalem
Arutz Sheva ^ | 16/10/12 | Gil Ronen

About 100 residents of the Arab village Beit Ur a-Tachta intermittently blocked traffic Tuesday morning on Route 443, a major highway leading to Jerusalem from Lod and the coastal area.

Large police and IDF forces arrived on the scene of the disturbance, near Bet Horon, and dispersed the Arabs, making one arrest. PLO flags that were planted by the rioters would be removed by Public Works Commission workers, officials said.

The Arabs claim that dozens of their olive trees have been uprooted recently, ahead of the olive harvest.

Arutz Sheva notes that similar Arab claims against Jews who supposedly uproot their trees surface regularly during harvest season. Investigators usually find that the Arabs are the ones who damaged their own trees in order to blame the Jews, in the knowledge that the media loves "anti-settler" stories.

What crap. Olive harvest has been and gone. The only ones remaining are black and shriveled, and edible without curing right off the tree. Perhaps they can still be used for oil.

“Bad arabs killing their own trees, then the PLO fires a Libyan missile at Israeli jet.”

“Bad arabs killing their own trees” ? ? ?

There are such things as “good’ arabs? When did they evolve? Is there even one citation in peer reviewed literature to support such a statement?

Or is the above merely a minor redundancy?

;-)

There are Christian and Druze Arabs, and culturally Arab Jews.

The non-Muslim Arabs are insignificant, but I am aware of them. A Druze has a shop with the cheapest and best AC components for vehicles of any place in Miami, and a fellow shooter is a Chabad Jew from Lebanon.

In the larger scale, these peoples are statistically and politically insignificant in that regardless of the level of their good behavior, NONE of it will be accepted by the Muslim Arabs.

Therefore:
ISLAM DELENDA EST - because of what Islam is and what Muslims do.

In the US, the Arab Christians are significant, esp. Lebanese. But whatever “delenda” means, it applies to Muslims, esp. Arab Muslims, who make life hell for anyone cursed with their presence in significant numbers nearby. Ask the folks in Dearborn, MI, or Paris.

Agreed!

The “Islam Delenda Est” is from a famous Roman line announcing the total destruction of Carthage - “Carthago Delenda Est”. “Carthage is destroyed” is a rough translation into English, well more accurately “Carthage has been deleted”.
