'Yom Kippur riot' in Israeli city

 'Yom Kippur riot' in Israeli city

Riots have broken out in the mixed city of Acre after an Israeli Arab man drove his car during the Yom Kippur religious holiday, Israeli reports say.

Dozens of cars and shops were damaged as hundreds of people took to the streets, Haaretz newspaper reported.

For Jews, Yom Kippur is a sombre day of fasting, during which it is considered offensive to drive in much of Israel.

The Arab man was reportedly attacked by youths who said he was making noise intentionally, the paper said.

He is reported to have said he was simply driving to a property he owned in the eastern part of the city.

"This is a very serious incident that the city of Acre has not seen the likes of in recent years and we will deal with all the rioters and those who take the law into their own hands with an iron fist," the head of the Acre police station, Chief Superintendent Avi Edri, told Haaretz.

The city has a mixed population, with the highest concentration of Israeli Arabs in the Old City.

Israeli Arabs are people of Palestinian origin whose forbears remained in Israel after the foundation of the country in 1948.

They number about one million - about one-fifth of the Israeli population - and although they have full rights as Israeli citizens they often complain of discrimination and exclusion.

I'm sorry, but I am confused.

Driving is NOT OK because it disturbs a holy day.

Rioting is OK because it is over having the holy day disturbed.

I'm no longer confused.

stay safe.

Hopefully the motorist was smart enough when attacked by a mob to simply press his gas pedal to the floor and drive off . . . and if some thugs got in the way, too bad.

Essentially there where two riots. A Jewish riot, in 'retaliation' for having the holy day disturbed, and an Arab riot 'for' having one of their own attacked.

Can we please come back to shooting rioters please?

The jooz are rong on this 1.

The correct response is:

"What's that noise?  Who would drive on Yom Kippur?

Hmm.  Oh well.  Back to praying."

Not:

"Let's go beat his *expletive deleted*ss down 'cuz we don't have a football, rugby or soccer game to be hooligans at!"

Today it was stupid jooz.  Usually it isn't, but today it was.

Israel's biggest problem is the Palestinians.  Israel's second biggest problem is the Chasids.

Violence-prone religious zealots exist in every religion, even in Judaism.

Please tell that to all the Jewish right-wingers that Ben-Gurion killed.

Theocratic socialist state.  Hmm, what's the worst that could happen?

The reason Israel's Orthodox Jewish community is a walking, talking social problem is not due to some inherent problem with Orthodox doctrine - it's due to ISrael's welfare policies and the Shas Party.


The reason Israel's General Security Service maintains a Jewish Division that kidnaps people and imprisons them without trial is not terorrism, it's because the country was founded by guys like Ben-Gurion - moral cripples who thought Lenin was awesome and that installing a Constitution was bad because it would 'limit the government', and that the anti-Semitic stereotypes of Jews as worthless people who could do nothing but lawyering and 'intellectual professions' were indeed true and that it had to be fixed by returning them to glorious manual labor.

Yeah, I'm sure all the victims of the Leninist terror groups who went on to fairly senior positions in the Israeli government would agree.....because manufacturing the truth via propaganda is how leninists work.

Many people died as a result of terrorism for opposing the communists who founded Israel, and they continued to die for it for decades...on both sides of the ethnic divide.

Support for militant leninists and their heirs is not support for Israel, period.  I support American freedoms for Israelis, and you can see my reception on this board for it.

Anybody who doubts Shootinstudent's description of Ben-Gurion and his cronies needs to read Yehuda Lapidot's book, "Season".

Obviously, it's about the Hagana's Operation Season - several years in which the Hagana set upon non-socialist Zionist factions, killed and tortured some of their members and turned others over to the British for imprisonment or hanging.

To this day the activities of Hagana in this field are not completely investigated.
