It doesn't even come into your mind, only Jews or "mentally ill" like the attackers in Strassbourg yesterday, "mentally ill both."

You've created your own monsters..now deal with them... TATA

torching synagogues is a red line that no Jew would cross

You should try to visit the tomb of Joseph and see how it's like. You should try to visit the synagogue of gush katif which weren't destroyed at the disengagement. You should visit the old city of jerusalem, and take a look at more than 30 sygagogues destroyed by arabs between 48-67. You should see the synagogue that Ehud Barak destroyed already 4-5 times. For "settlers", you have what ? One carpet of a mosquee (the "accused settlers" where innocent and no link at all with this at the end !!!), and a burned one apparently because of electrical problems ?!?

So a mosque burnt in Ramallah is arson ????( by settlers ???), 3 synagogues burnt in Jerusalem by a pyromaniac or settlers (???) , a bomb in Time square by...? arson against Jews in France etccc, the list is enless...settlers (?????) Please STOP DEMONIZING PEOPLE !!!!!!!

an elderly man attacked outside a synagogue in Nimes France....by....??????

but most likely there is more to come... extremists often have mental problems, whatever "group" they belong to. because its usually the not so "stable" who seek "shelter" with them. its always been extremists, who brought societies down. and it has always been extremists who killed their own people - because their extremist views justify this... same old.

According to a book by Dr. Meron Benvenisti, of the 160 mosques in the Palestinian villages incorporated into Israel under the armistice agreements, fewer than 40 are still standing.

Before you accuse the settlers of torching Synagogues, show us your proof of this vile act.

Yes Observer, settlers are Jews......

One mosque damaged and it hits the front page.

setlers pay taxes haredim don't. and setlers don't burn books it's the other way around considering many haredim practice pagan rituals that not conected to judaism.

the ashkenazis synagogue in jerusalem in 1948 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurva_Synagogue there is the synagouge in Egypt in center cahiro who was bombarded and only last year they begane its restore, http://www.ynet.co.il/english/articles/0,7340,L-3859474,00.html and the most resent was the tomb that Muslims want to destroy in north afrika area casuse they want to built there something else. and as for the mosques many were destroyed by the British cause the turks use the minirats as snifering tower. like the mosque in Beer shiva,

I did check. 52 (!!!) synagogues were destroyed after 48 by jordanians in the old city of jerusalem. And we can add the Kotel (the Western Wall) which have been used for garbage.

In July 1950, Majdal - today Ashkelon - Mash'had Nabi Hussein, an 11th-century Mosque, was blown up. What is unusual about the case of Mash'had Nabi Hussein is that the demolition is documented, and direct responsibility was taken by none other than the GOC Southern Command at the time, an officer named Moshe Dayan. The documentation shows that the holy site was blown up deliberately, as part of a broader operation that included at least two additional mosques, one in Yavneh and the other in Ashdod. Synagogue fires are believed to be linked to the power struggles between the various hasidic sects. a15-year-old sets fire in synagogue claiming she wanted revenge for Haredi harassment, like Rabin murder and Hebron Mosque massacre committed by fervent settlers. Can you just be strict in naming a single synagogue destroyed after 1949 in the whole Arab world from where 50% Israeli Arab Jews (Mizrahim) came.
