Jerusalem Racist Attacks

24-year-old Palestinian Hussam Rwidy was killed in the early morning hours of Friday February 13, when he and a friend, Murad Khader Joulani, were returning home from work. Family members say that a group of extremist Israelis yelled "Death to Arabs" before assaulting the two near Hillel Street in West Jerusalem. While the Israeli police and media portrayed Rwidy's murder as the product of a drunken brawl, the Rwidy family and its supporters say this line of reasoning is not only false, but serves as a way for the Israeli authorities to avoid accurately defining the attack as racially motivated.

UPDATE (23/02, 3PM): Yedioth Aharonot is reporting that four suspects have been arrested in relation to Rwidy's death, and are being charged with manslaughter. Israeli police have stated that it was racially-motivated. (YNET Article, Hebrew only: http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-4032782,00.html)

this is unacceptable. just as palestinians cannot tolerate the likes of hamas, israelis need to do all they can to curb this dangerous ideology.

@israelipatriot19 ,@enddebtslavery  I agree the Holocaust is over used! I think Zionist jews are Cowards,because they wont straight say what they want, and if they did... Do you think Israel would exist?

Stabbing a poor kid to death ... Isn't this also antisemitic? After all, Arabs are also Semitic people.

@israelipatriot19 I've got nothing to show, if you believe all muslims are fanatical then fine, i think you're a fucking idiot for thinking that. And just maybe all the muslims you come across hate you because you murder their brothers and sisters so you can steal their homeland.

Stop wasting my life retard you aren't bright enough to keep me interested.

@enddebtslavery I'm still waiting for you to show me that there are moderate Muslims and that there are sects within Islam that reject the idea of jihad

[israelipatriot19]

@enddebtslavery First of all, there is no such thing as Palestine. your not contradicting me, just a load of crap without sources. Islam killed over a milion Jews, Mohammad alone killed 25 thousand according to Ibn Ishaq. was there any Israel back then?!

Islam is the only political Ideology with universal goals because the Islamic calendar starts in the hijra.

I want a Jewish state within the limited land of Israel, not beyond.

They want to implement sharia universally, not me.

@israelipatriot19 Bollocks, zionists want the complete destruction of Palestine, and as long as i have breath in me that land will always be known as Palestine. So every muslim in the world is a fanatical nutjob eh? You are a child who lacks the ability to think on individual issues, it all comes down to that group versus this group.

Please spare me the zionist ideology, you sacrifice genuine jews for political bullshit which is all about control and profit.

Fuck you.

[israelipatriot19]

@enddebtslavery First of all, I'm not a Zionist. Zionists want a secular state within limited borders, I want all of Israel.

Secondly, unfortunately there are over a billion Muslims that believe in their religion. The discussion here is not about what is real and what isn't . We are discussing If there are moderate Muslims or not. all the schools of islamic jurisprudence ( Hanafi, Hanbali, Maliki, Shafi'i)+ the Shi'ites all agree on the issue of Jihad, so there are no moderate muslims

[enddebtslavery]

@israelipatriot19 And i suppose you believe Osama Bin Laden carried out 9/11 eh?

[enddebtslavery]

@israelipatriot19 You support zionism, thats it plain simple. You are driven by belief in a fictional higher power, fucking nonsence. If i believe something is made up then reading it will not then convince me its real. The problem with religion is no matter which you believe, you can have no logic in any arguement if your debate is based on a book which someone told you was the 'truth'.
