Settlers attack West Bank mosque and burn holy Muslim books
The Times ^ | 12/11/2009 | James Hider

Suspected Jewish settlers today attacked a mosque in the northern West Bank, burning holy books and spraying threatening graffiti in Hebrew on the building, Palestinian officials and Israeli police said.

Extremists broke into the mosque in the village of Yasuf, near the city of Nablus, and burned Muslim holy books and prayers carpets, while sprayed slogans on the floor reading “Price tag – greetings from Effi.”

The so-called price tag is the Jewish settlers’ policy of attacking Palestinians and their property in retribution for any Israeli government curb on settlement expansion. Effi is a Jewish name.

The dawn attack appeared to be the work of hardline settlers furious that the right-wing government of Binyamin Netanyahu has given in to US pressure to try and enforce a temporary freeze on the construction of Jewish settlements in the West Bank, where some 300,000 settlers live.

While the attackers escaped, the Israeli government was quick to condemn the attack. "This is an extremist act geared toward harming the government's efforts to advance the political process for the sake of Israel's future," said Ehud Barak, the Israeli defence minister, whose department is overseeing the freeze.

When they discovered the desecration of their mosque, Palestinian villagers started throwing stones at Israeli soldiers, whom they often accuse of complicity with settlers when they carry out such attacks on them and their olive orchards. Two Palestinians and an Israeli soldier were hurt in the clashes.

Thousands of angry settlers gathered for a demonstration close to the Prime Minister’s residence in Jerusalem this week, vowing to continue building and condemning Mr Natanyahu’s decision to bow to pressure from Barack Obama, the US president. They carried banners that said “Obama wants us frozen, God wants us chosen,” and “God’s Bible gave us this land.”

I don't believe a word of this.

Moreover, it is the Muzzies who are full of rage and who are not to be trusted.

But since the Muzzies are already angry for nothing, here ya go.

Does not make sense Jewish settlers don't need this kind of trouble. Muslims however will sacrifice their own children to suicide bombing, do you not think it a small thing for them to vandalize their own mosques. Their only loyalty is to the promotion of hate for anything not muslim. May PISS be upon mohammads head

This is just as inexcusable as when the Palestinians attack jewish holy sites.

For the record, if in fact this story is true, my household, with me as its head, supports these actions 100% and pray they continue to stand up and fight back against these barbaric animal child rapists and murderers known as ‘muslims’....

They need to evacuate. Time to give up on the Israeli dream of self governance.

I think Mohammed Obama condones the Iranian plan for vaporization of Jews. Best to get the hell out now. In 1939 it was a good Idea to get out of Germany. Its now a damm good Idea to get out of Israel.

Incredibly stupid. Nothing like giving your enemies more reason to attack you.
