Background: "Hebron Ghost Town" - Settlements in Hebron

Background to the Jewish settlement of Hebron, the only Palestinian city with a Jewish settlement at its heart. To enable a few hundred settlers to move about freely, Israel chose to enforce a formal policy of discrimination against the Palestinian residents of the city. Throughout the years Hebron city center became a ghost town. www.btselem.org

as a human, don't you find it immorally wrong to push our a race out of your city simply because you believe it is rightfully yours and because they are not of your race? isn't there a problem with that? This does not seem to be the teachings of Judaism at all.

Wrong again, Palestinians.

@birehsgr8est What's happening is as bad as apartheid. It's ugly, inhumane racism. And the rest of the world is just letting it pass...

The commentator with the perfect British pronunciation... It is a pity he does not explain that for hundreds years until 1929, Jews lived in Hebron peacefully with Arabs, until1929, when Jews were massacred by arab mob and British refused to protect them.  That time arabs comitted ethnic cleansing of Hebron against jews with the help of British Empire. Now jews returned to their ancient (first, even before Jerusalem) capitol. But jews still need protection from hateful arabs...

Like I've said before I'm 100% for Israel, but for 500 people to live in Hebron, and make the rest of civilization there revolve around them is just wrong. This settlement should be evicted in the peace talks. There is no need for these 500 people to cause so much trouble for innocent people trying to live their daily lives. The Arabs are not even able to go on certain streets because of this aggravating settlement. Leave to Israel.
