Police dispersed dozens of protesters who chanted anti-Arab slogans at the site of the bomb attack in Jerusalem Wednesday.

Protesters of the outlawed Kach movement were blocked by police from reaching the Mahane Yehuda marketplace, just up the street from the site of Wednesday's bombing, for fear they would seek to attack Arabs working there, media reports said.

Israel Radio said that in all 150 demonstrators showed up at the site as rescue workers were clearing up after the attack in which 16 people were killed and more than 100 were wounded.

Shortly after the attack, a small group of onlookers, lead by a bare-chested man swinging his black T-shirt in the air shouted "Death to the Arabs" and "Revenge."

Soon afterward, the mob of encircled an Arab worker, who was extricated by three Border Policemen.

A group of right-wing youths belonging to the "Kach" movement were reported in the area after the attack. They were heard chanting, "No Arabs, No attacks".

In a separate incident, a group of about 80 extremist Jews reportedly tried to attack Arabs who had passed through Zion Square Wednesday night, the Hebrew-language Web site Ynet reported.

The Israelis try to crackdown on incitement against Arabs, any chance of the Palestinians cracking down on similiar incitement against Jews?

So it's not just the "Arab street" that has rage anymore.

If the Arabs keep up the suicide missions, then thse radical Jews are going to win recruits. After all, fanaticism produces fanaticism. What is going to keep them from slipping into The West Bank and blowing up Arabs at random?

Because Judaism is the real Religion of Peace^TM, and radical, bloodthirsty, Arab-hating Jews are a rare anomoly, not the norm.

Peace-loving religion or not, one can be driven over the edge. A Quaker who was given charge over the Comanches in Oklahoma finally became so enraged by the repeated duplicity of one Comanche chief that he lunged at the Indian's throat and was close to throttling the indian when he was pulled off by two soldiers.(They were concerned about his well-being, not the indian's). His Quaker superiors were miffed and relieved him, but General Sherman--who reported this incident--had some kind words to say about this Quaker. What the Palestinians need is a Quannah Parker who can persuade his fellow that they can't win. Those Palestinians who believe they can should all be killed.

Thank you. We forget that it took the intervention of German Sherman before the South Plains could be wrestled from the hands of the Comanches. Just a few thousand families, but were they MEAN! They beat the Apaches,they beat the Spaniards, and they fought the Texans to a stand still. Then along came Ole "Cump."and they faced someone meaner than they were.
