JERUSALEM – Israel police are on high alert to avert possible clashes as Jews and Muslims observe their faith's major holidays of Yom Kippur and Eid al-Adha, which overlap this year.

Police spokeswoman Luba Samri says reinforced police contingents are deployed across Israel. There are large Muslim minorities in four important Israeli cities: Jerusalem, the Tel Aviv twin city of Jaffa — Yafo in Hebrew — and also in Haifa and Acre.

Yom Kippur, Judaism's holiest day, begins at sunset Friday and ends on Saturday night.

Eid al-Adha, a three-day holiday that starts Saturday, is an occasion for family celebrations and outings. It commemorates the willingness of the prophet Ibrahim — or Abraham, as he is known in the Bible — to sacrifice his son....

The Muslims have a long history of attacking Israel on her holy days.

In every war that has occurred in human history, you drive the enemy out of your territory and from your midst. You protect your own, and you make the enemy suffer losses.

The United Nations, Hamas, the European Union, and the United States under Barack Ebola make Israel play a rigged game, where they are told not to fight back, not to win, and not to exist.

Author Bill Salus wrote a book recently called "Israelestine."

He believes that the Scriptures point to a major war sometime in the future, which is a regional war involving Israel and her immediate neighbors. Israel will prevail and drive out the Muslims from her borders, and the nations that attack her will suffer a major defeat. Israel, however, will pay a price for this victory with the blood of her people, but she will prevail.

As I look at what ISIL is now fomenting, I can see his predictions coming true.

so....this conflict of holidays is due to Israeli aggression - but never Islam - because that religion is the Religion of Peace (<— Major Sarcasm)

I pray Israel wipes the virus that is Islam off this planet - because the US govt & elected leaders are too stupid or cowardly to do so...

Well it ain’t the Jews who rush out of synagogue shouting bloody hate-filled curses at non-Jews.

No, they don't. The IDF acts with great constraint, yet Obama and the UN condemn even their defensive postures to protect their own citizens.
