A Jewish man was attacked and badly wounded on Friday as he walked to the Kotel (Western Wall) to pray. The man, a resident of Samaria in his 30s, required surgery following the attack, and will need to undergo another surgery in four months.
The victim, H, recalled the attack. Near the American consulate, someone suddenly hit me in the back. I fell down and was hit again."
Two Arab men grabbed me, beat me, stripped off my pants and continued to beat me, while speaking to each other in Arabic. After a few minutes, they ran away.
"Every part of my body was bleeding. Nobody stopped to help. In the end, I reached the hospital, where I was taken to surgery and to be examined.
Doctors described H's medical condition as moderate to serious, with serious internal bleeding.
The day after the attack, police sent an Arab officer to meet with him and investigate the incident, H said.
"I hope the police will catch them and the court will give them the punishment they deserve, H said. My faith is even stronger now, thank G-d. When I leave the hospital, I plan to go to the Kotel and thank Hashem for watching over me and giving me the gift of life.
H expressed hope that the vicious attack he suffered would not deter other Jews from visiting Israel or making the country their home. Despite the serious incidents that sometimes occur here, this is every Jew's place. Don't be afraid to come here.
'This Won't Pass Quietly'
Members of Knesset and Zionist activists expressed dismay and anger over the serious assault. This incident will not be greeted with silence, said MK Nissim Zeev of Shas.
Zeev said he would bring up the incident in the Knesset on Monday, and would file a query with Defense Minister Ehud Barak regarding the course of the investigation.
MK Danny Danon of Likud said the incident was disturbing further proof of increasing extremism among Arab with Israeli citizenship. The attack was meant to cause damage extending beyond its one victim, he said, explaining, The damage was done not just to one man, but to Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem.
Jews will continue to pray at the Kotel despite terrorists and their supporters, Danon said. He wished a speedy recovery to H, and expressed hope that his attackers would be caught in the near future.
'Fruit of Govt. Weakness'
Samaria Council Head Gershon Mesika accused the government of creating an atmosphere in which Jew haters were more likely to attack. The enemy understands that the government is sending a message of weakness, and the spoilt fruits of that weakness are borne by citizens of Israel throughout the country, he said.
A similar attack to that in which H was wounded took place recently, and the victim that time was a Jewish resident of Jerusalem, Mesika recalled. Those who hate Jews do not distinguish between residents of Judea and Samaria and those living in other parts of Israel, he said. The crazed Arabs did not consider whether the victim was a resident of Jerusalem, like last week, or a resident of Samaria, like this latest time, but rather attacked Jews simply for being Jewish, he said.

polander.
With a notable exception of the word "Poland,"
current phraseology describing Poland and
people of Poland has no positive connotations in
the English language.
The adjective describing people from Poland, for
example, is the word: "Polish." When
mispronounced by native speakers of the Polish
language, the word changes to "polish" or
something you put on your shoes to make them
look shiny.
A "Pole" on the other hand, means a "stick." or a
vertical structure that supports telephone wires.
Only after that, one may associate the word with
more "noble" meanings like: "North Pole" or
"magnetic pole."
The Polish word to describe the native of Poland:
Polak (English spelling: Polack) has been
desecrated and is considered derogatory in
many of the English language dictionaries.
There is an alternative word in English language
to "Pole." The word "Polander," however, is not
widely used and it shows as misspelled word in
word processing programs. The connotation of
the "Polander" is much more positive, however
to the more widely used "Pole."
It is the purpose of this site to propagate the
word "Polander" as a substitute for "Pole" to help
especially those immigrants who struggle daily
with the negative connotations brought about by
the English language.
"The word As-shams (the sun) is feminine, and Qamar (moon) is masculine. The sun burns itself to give light and life to everything around, and the moon is Muneer, meaning it reflects the light; it radiates the brilliance of the sun. So when we shine as men, the implication is that we are reflecting the glorious light of our women."

Western wall is in East Jerusalem which Israel illegally occupies. Sad that people pay the price of their states illegal doings. I hope Israelis pull out of East Jerusalem and no more Jew is attacked on illegally occupied lands.

Oh, Goody. Carpet bombing. There is nothing better than to picnic and watch a good carpet bombing. I am sure that's what those filthy Zionists will do. Deli meats and torpex are a steady Jew diet. Why can't they be more like the loving, lovable and wholly peaceful Palestinians. I guess its because they are Jews, right?

Good point, you should live by that example and move back to Central Asia and give the land back to the Armenians and Greeks.

The native people of anatolia make up the majority of the Turkish people today. You can not expect people to leave their homeland because they converted to Islam. Thats plain stupid.

@ Adverse
I have no idea what the hell you are talking about. If that is meant to be offensive, I don't particularly find it so. If informative, I could point out a few more points about the points you came up with.

The majority today technically are the Kurds racially. Turks are mixed. The Anatolians were raped and massacred by the invading Turkish imperialists working for the Mongols. Now Turkey is full of European looking "Turks" who are just heavily mixed with Balkan DNA due to the Ottomans requiring Christian families give a son to a royal Turkish figure to molest and raise as a Muslim.

Wrong. Not only is it untrue, but even if it were (and it isn't), it's irrelevant since the Talmud is not the bible, it does not represent the Jewish faith and was written by specific rabbi's in the middle-ages.
so then,has the tabernacle been condenmed?has it been declared obsolete?
it was composed by specific rabbis so i presume its by a specific religious zealot group,a minority group.by some chance therefore would this minority group hold some power in the israeli knesset or decission making power in the government??
i've read the tabernacle and was disgusted by the racism it contains,i presume you have read it also.
Re: Jew Survives Vicious Attack by Arabs when he went to pray in Jerusalem

Aietus, what is the tabernacle?
As for the Talmud, so you claim to have read the Talmud. Which one? The Jerusalem or Babylon one? And you read the over 90 volumes of if? Did you read the Mishna as well? And did the spend the thousands of dollars to buy a complete set or did you go to a Jewish library and spend several years reading them there in the library? And which language translation did you use? Since there is only 1 English translation that isnt even complete yet. Or do you happen to know Hebrew and Aramaic?

That's the whole point, you hatefull little bigot. I havent read it, just like the vast majority of Jews didn't read it, just like most Christians did not read a specific Christian text, nor do they adherr to its teachings on a day-to-day basis. Or do you want me to judge you according to some obscure Christian text aswell?
And no, I don't believe for a minute you read the Talmud. What you did read was a hate site's misquoting of the Talmud. What read was "The Talmid Exposed" (or most likely an internet site quoting it). It has gained in popularity because of the Internet, claims to show the true nature and intentions of the Jewish people by quoting damning statements from the Talmud. The problem is not only are these alleged examples of nefarious Jewish tactics and bigotry taken wildly out of context but in many cases simply misquoted. But of course accuracy and good research are not the hallmarks of the bigot. Not only that, but Aetius' latest claims about the Talmud are, not only misquoted, but totally fabricated.

its well known that there is religious intolerance within your own country so never mind labelling me a bigot.
remember a few years ago when the state of israel attempted to label the "official"religion of the state and the backlash that ensued from those that would not qualify?
besides,tell me how its been "misquoted"?
does it not say that spitting at a gentile is a sin to contaminate your saliva?
was there an internet service several generations ago when part of your religion was exposed?
or was that misquoted also?
i suppose jews were chased out of europe many times in the past milliniums because they were role model citizens?
and the teachings of subdueing gentiles and using them as cattle had nothing to do with it?
geewiz,i wonder how the jews came to run the world?executing the russian tsar,genociding the russian population etc or wernt they jews?
next you'll be telling me people like lenin,stalin,hitler,roosevelt,trueman and co wernt jews
that their educational religious upbringing had nothing to do with it and im anti semetic for even pointing out the obvious.
well i'll try and remember my anti semetism next time i stand up for israel when the real bigots try and put you guys down.

None of the above was said in the Talmud, and even if it was, it is irrelevant to Judaism as middle-aged christian texts are relevant to modern Christians.
So feel free to claim "Jews are deceitfull" due to a middle-ages book you have never even read.
