SAFED, MOST RACIST CITY IN ISRAEL? November 23rd 2010

SAFED, Israel. The Israeli city of Safed has been making headlines ever since its chief rabbi issued a religious ruling banning the sale or renting of property to Arabs. A decree which prompted one reknowned Israeli editorialist to call Safed: "the most racist city in Israel." The anti-arab campaign launched by Safed's chief rabbi has put a city used to be in the spotlight but for completely different reasons. Safed is famous for being one of the four main holy cities of Judaism, and the birth place of Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas. But its also known for its cheese and for attracting Kabalah (Jewish mysticism) enthusiasts,like Madonna, from around the world. Its chief rabbi is now warning the young Jewish girls of the risks they run if they date Arab men. This campaign sparked violent comments and attacks on Arab residents carried out by ultra orthodox Jews. But Jews who rent to Arabs have also been targetted. Practically no one dares to rent to some of the 1300 Arab students in a town which holds some 40 000 Israeli Jews. While the American administration is still trying to save the peace process, relations between the Jewish and Muslim communities of Safed are rapidly deteriorating.

Euromideastnews reduces Safed's heritage as one of the four holy cities in Judaism and the center of Jewish mysticism to cheese and Madonna. Euromideastnews - the most racist news agency in the world.

Oh, I mean forget about Arab countries, how about the Arab neighborhoods or communities within Israel where it is not even safe for Jews to walk around freely. Did you want to report on that? Or are you just like a fly, looking for crap to consume? Oh, wait, what about the people from the Sudan who are trafficked in Saudi Arabia? Did you also do a video about the Muslims from Darfur who are risking their lives to live in the safety of the Jewish Land of Israel?

What was the point of this video? To show how racist the Israelis are? Really? Is that why the Arabs have access to the college and education? Do you also have a video showing the LACK of any Jews living safely in Arab countries?

Why not do a video about the neighborhoods in the US (or anywhere else for that matter) who won't let certain income brackets live there?

This is about, as the Israeli speaker said, maintaining the integrity of the city as a safe place for Jews.

I live in Tzfat.

Recently, there has been an intentional stirring up problems with the Arabs.

Someone is making trouble between Jews and Arabs in this town in order to cover up the human experimentation that is being done in this town - and the experimenters don't discriminate.

There is a 30 million suit pending against the Rivka Ziv Hospital for doing experiments.
