Anti-Zionist
Orthodox Jews protesting the desecration of graves by a highway
construction project near Haifa were attacked and brutally beaten by
private security guards hired by the Ministry of Transportation.
The
group, known for being outspokenly critical of the State of Israel and
its very existence were peacefully demonstrating at the time. This
attack follows a long history of violence against the Orthodox Jewish
community.
Consistent
with fundamental Jewish beliefs, some of these protesters often take
part in demonstrations, side by side with Palestinians, against the
State of Israel and its inhuman policies toward the Palestinian people.”
The apparent strategy of using organized violence through private
security personnel against these peaceful protesters is only one of many
tactics used by the State of Israel to intimidate and discourage
further protests. The police were nowhere to be found at the time or
even hours after the melee. Several Rabbis and children were attacked
with electric stun gun devices and knives, requiring some to be
hospitalized.
Among
the injured were Rabbi Leibl Deutsch and Rabbi Yisroel Rothchild, both
of Jerusalem who were stabbed in the lower back and leg respectively.
The Jewish cemetery at the heart of the incident dates back to the
Second Temple era, over 2000 years ago.Some of the caves that comprise
the cemetery have been destroyed as a result of the ongoing highway work
and there are heightened fears of further desecration as the highway
project continues unabated.
