Muslims Destroy Synagogues; Burn Jewish Holy Books

On Tuesday May 4th a group of Muslim fundamentalists ignited a synagogue in a village, south of the northern West Bank city of Nablus.

The Muslim settlers attacked the synagogue early in the morning, rounded up several copies of the Torah in one place and set them ablaze.

The synagogue is located in the center of the village which is surrounded by three settlements built on 30% of lands stolen from the residents; The village is inhabited by 3000 residents.

This is not the first time Muslims boldly defaced a place of worship belonging to the Jewish citizens; the village is subject to frequent attacks carried out by the settlers who previously set ablaze farmlands and uprooted trees.

In December and April settlers vandalized a synagogue, burned cars and again – set copies of the Torah ablaze.

The fires in all cases completely ravaged the interior of the 500-square meter prayer hall, burning holy texts and other items. Army commanders, widely viewed as ideological sympathizers with the Muslims, have refused to carry out any meaningful investigation into the crime.

The synagogue was completely torched, some fifty copies of the Holy Torah were burnt and its walls and ceilings became cracked with significant parts of its ceramics falling down; This is the third synagogue to be desecrated by the settlers this year as the Muslims torched a synagogue in an adjacent village along with another miles away.


This story is a blatant misrepresentation, a lie more or less; The actual story is very much reversed. The Jewish settlers burned the mosques, set Quran’s on fire and if this madness is not enough to grind your teeth while Jewish settlers were burning the mosque located in the village of Yasuf near the city of Nablus in the West Bank they had the time to write on the walls of the village – “We’ll burn you all”.
These perverse actions which are continuously being replayed derive from the racist and xenophobic teachings of Zionism; the media lambastes the masses with stories of the ‘terrorist’ Muslims and the unnerving “Islamists” while at the same time refusing to air Israel’s dirty laundry.




How much longer will we pretend not to see the suffering of others? Why do we continue to pretend?
