Armed PA Arabs March on Jewish Town
Arutz Sheva ^ | 28/8/11 | Maayana Miskin

Jews in the village of Esh Kodesh in Samaria who planned a Torah class on Friday found themselves facing off against an angry Palestinian Authority mob instead. IDF soldiers managed to prevent bloodshed.

The mob, made up of roughly 100 men and youths, was armed “with whatever they could find,” recalled Rafi Fischer, who spoke Sunday to Arutz Sheva. Among the makeshift weapons were metal pipes and clubs, he said.

The small group of Jewish villagers could hear the muezzin (Muslim prayer leader) calling on residents of the nearby PA town of Kusra to join in the attack on Esh Kodesh.

Fortunately, Fischer said, “The army was determined,” and soldiers prevented the PA mob from carrying out a violent attack at the site. The Jewish villagers were evacuated for their own protection, and proceeded to hold the planned Torah class in a nearby town.

While the IDF put a stop to the planned bloodshed, it is also IDF actions that set the mob in motion, Fischer stated. PA Arabs used to leave Esh Kodesh alone, but began attacking the site after seeing the IDF's Civil Administration destroy buildings in the community, he said.

Fischer brought proof for his theory from the PA mob itself . A listserve used by PA residents of Kotzra was found to include statements saying that the Zionist army had destroyed buildings at the site. The statements ended with a declaration, “Today we go up,” he said.

Esh Kodesh was intended as a site for Jewish settlement as many as 30 years ago, he noted.

How soon in our future will we read of a muslim mob heading to a small town? The fed’s would probably come in to try to confiscate the town’s guns so nobody would get killed or hurt.

ps - it just hit me. A government mob came to a small enclosure to save the children and wound up killing 93 men, women and children. Was that in the US? /sarc

Good Lord, they just gassed them with CS gas until the ones without gas masks (mainly children) backs broke from convulsions. Quit being so dramatic

IDF soldiers managed to prevent bloodshed. Why weren’t they causing some well deserved bloodshed?

Why would they want to do that? Shouldn't they have just wasted the murdering bastards?

"The Jewish villagers were evacuated for their own protection"

The terrorist village should be relocated, not the innocent Jewish village.

Jordan is a logical location for them to go.
