Max Blumenthal.com - The “Summer Camp Of Destruction:” Israeli High Schoolers Assist The Razing Of A Bedouin Town

AL-ARAKIB, ISRAEL — On July 26, Israeli police demolished 45 buildings in the unrecognized Bedouin village of al-Arakib, razing the entire village to the ground to make way for a Jewish National Fund forest....
One of the most troubling aspects of the destruction of al-Arakib was a report by CNNthat the hundreds of Israeli riot police who stormed the village were accompanied by “busloads of cheering civilians.” Who were these civilians and why didn’t CNN or any outlet investigate further?

Tikum Olam - Don’t Like an Israel Palestinian MK? Burn Him

One of my Israeli readers brings word of a truly ghoulish Israeli right-wing Facebook group, I Too Want to Burn MK Talib A-Sana. It seems that A-Sana, the Israeli Palestinian elected representative of the Raam-Tal Arab nationalist party has asked the officers of the Knesset for permission to travel to Gaza to witness conditions under which the residents live while under Israeli siege.

Provocative? Yes. But who’d a thunk there’d be Israelis nutty enough to advocate publicly in Facebook burning the guy at the stake for his alleged sins?

Globe & Mail - A hostile takeover of Zionism

[This is an important article about the growing power of fanatical ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel and how it could dramatically change Israel into a theocracy.]

Ironically, considering these religious leaders have made such use of the democratic process, they continue to say democracy is not consistent with Halacha. “In many ways these guys are closer to Islamic fundamentalists than to anything else,” Prof. Ben Yehuda said. They also do not shrink from violence.

Prof. Ben Yehuda's research found that violence is the number-one criminal infraction among Haredim. He also found that most of that violence is for political purposes.

Haaretz editorial - Defeat settler terror

[Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports what we never hear about in the North American media.]

The unrestrained rampages by the settlers, and the insults they heaped on soldiers and policemen
who participated in yesterday's evacuation of the "Federman Farm" near Kiryat Arba, reveal the lawless and dangerous nature of the settlers' rejectionist front.

Inter alia, opponents of the evacuation called for "revenge attacks" against the security forces; told IDF soldiers that "you should all be defeated by your enemies, you should all become [kidnapped soldier] Gilad Shalit, you should all be killed, you should all be slaughtered, because that's what you deserve"; and set a "price tag" for the evacuation in the form of assaults on IDF and Palestinian property.

Guardian UK - A bitter harvest

The olive harvest is in full swing at the moment; so too are the
settlers' clubs and the soldiers' batons, as they do their level best
to impede the farmers' attempts to harvest their meagre crops the
length and breadth of the Occupied Territories. I went to the tiny
hamlet of Izzmut this week, unhappily situated alongside the
settlement of Elon Moreh, from whose borders emanate almost daily
attacks by settlers hell bent on disrupting the proceedings.

The Guardian UK - Israeli peace advocate attacked

A prominent Israeli professor and peace advocate was injured
yesterday when a pipe bomb blew up outside his house in what police
believe was an attack by right-wing Jewish extremists.

Zeev Sternhell, a political scientist at Hebrew University, was
wounded in the leg when the bomb exploded as he stepped out of his
front door to close the garden gate in Jerusalem.

Police found posters in the area offering a reward of around
£170,000 to anyone who kills a member of Peace Now, a well-known
Israeli group which campaigns against the occupation. Sternhell has
long been a Peace Now supporter.

Times Online- Settler gang pushes Palestinian boy off roof

Beatings of Palestinians by radical religious settlers, protected by
the Israeli army and police, are a common occurrence in this dangerous
city, where Jewish settlements nudge into the heart of a community of
about 120,000 Arabs. What happened next was shocking even by the
violent standards of Hebron however.
