The Religion of Peace





Tuesday is the 13th of Tishrei, the day before Succot, but it's also the day of an incredibly shocking lynching that took place in Israel 7 years ago.
It had been just after the start of the most recent Terror War the Arabs have launched against Israel, and Vadim Nurzhitz and Yossi Avrahmi were on their way to their army base to report for reserve duty.
They took a wrong turn and found themselves in Ramallah where they were immediately arrested by Arab policemen. A mob formed around the police station demanding that they send the soldiers out to the mercy of the mob. They then stormed the building, beat the soldiers to death and threw their mutilated bodies into the street, where they were dragged with the mob continuing to beat the dead, limp bodies.
But the Palestinians said that the soldiers were on an undercover mission, in civilian clothes and driving a civilian car, when they were captured. The Israeli army said the men were reservists trying to reach their post when they took a wrong turn.
This in an article from CNN, and that statement is an outright lie, you can see from the pictures that they were soldiers because they were wearing their uniforms. They knew exactly who they were attacking, and this was how they would tell the story to the world.

What's really weird about the whole story is that the entire incident was caught in videotape by an Italian news channel, which then aired it. They were then immediately banned from entering the Arab controlled part of Israel. This is the letter then sent the following day:
Riccardo Christiano, Italian TV's representative in Israel,
wrote to the PA:
"To my dear friends in Palestine, We bless you, and feel that we must clarify that the photos of the events in Ramallah were taken by a private Italian station, and not by official Italian TV. We emphasize to you that we respect the proper journalistic work guidelines with the Palestinian Authority. Be sure that we would never do something like that."
Why did they do this? So they could continue broadcasting from the Arab conrolled areas! Who cares if they actually are accurate in their reporting!
