The Dance of Death


The Middle East "Dance of Death" goes on and on.  Neither side appears
willing to live and let live.  Above is the Mosque burned out by Jewish extremists.

The Dance of Death:  A mosque in Israel has been torched and sprayed with graffiti, in a suspected attack by Jewish extremists.


In all nations the Middle East Dance of Death never ends.  Everyone thinks that God speaks only to them and God wants us all to die or be slaves of the majority.

Hundreds of residents from the village of Tuba-Zangariya marched in protest against the attack, and there were reports of clashes with the police.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said he was "outraged" by images from the village.

Police said it appeared to be a "price tag" attack - a reference to a violent campaign by Jewish settlers.

The attack on the mosque happened in the early hours of Monday, reports the BBC.

"The whole mosque was burnt - the carpet, the books, the Korans, all burnt," the village imam, Fuad Zangariya, told Israel's Army Radio.

The words "Revenge", "Price Tag" and "Palmer" were reported to have been written in Hebrew on the mosque walls.

The latter was an apparent reference to a car crash on 23 September in which Israeli settler Asher Palmer and his one-year-old son were killed after Palestinians threw stones at their car.

"Price Tag" attacks, carried out against any policy to reduce the presence of Jewish settlers and settlements on occupied Palestinian land in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, have increased in recent months.

Most happen in the West Bank, though a similar incident took place in the Arab Israeli village of Iblin last year.

Police said they had already arrested a number of suspects in connection with Monday's attack.

Arab Israelis account for about 20% of Israel's population.
