For the past twenty years I find it impossible to contain my joy over the tragedy that befell the Hebronite Arabs . I've never liked the Arabs of Hebron and I still view them with utter contempt . I will keep gloating over their misfortune to the bitter end... Abdel Karim Salim Sharif Jerusalem Friday : February 21st, 2014

6. Muslim Hebron Riots since 1929!
Benny ,   Iran   (02.21.14)
Muslims killed ,maimed, raped , tortured & decapitated Jews in the historic Hebron Riots ,which is well documented. You can't live with people who act like beasts. The Arabs have to be separated or moved out of this sacred area! The Jewish presence brings business & these Muslim idiots create mayhem, like in Libya,Iraq,Syria,Lebanon,etc.

8. Israeli Logic
Michael ,   Haifa   (02.21.14)
We just need another bloodthirsty settler to gun down another 29 Palestinians and then we can declare the whole of Hebron a "closed military zone"

11. 170.000 of murders ....
Avram Goldsmith ,   Toronto, Canada   (02.21.14)
Hevron sucked in Jewish blood of 25000 Jwes slaughter by Arabs. Time to bring them to justice, out from Jewish land!!!
12. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.21.14)
We'll send the "Palestinians" back to the Hejaz in the Western Arabian desert, and allow them to claim their desert and their goatherding. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca and Leah are all buried in the Machpelah. Abraham -- who cast out his illegitimate son Ishmael -- is the only one of the foregoing individuals buried in the Machpelah that is venerated in Islam. All those buried there are the three patriarchs of Judaism and three of the four matriarchs. Hebron was a Jewish enclave for over a thousand years before Mohammed's birth. The "Palestinian" claim to Hebron is not quite as strong as a British convict sentenced to transport's claim to Ululu. Are you beginning to get a glimmer of understanding, dimwit?
13. Fast Facts on Hebron
Rachamim Dwek ,   Israel   (02.23.14)
By law and by agreement Jews are confined to Sector H2 in Hebron, a sector comprising a mere 18% of the city. Within H2, Jews are confined by IDF Regulations to a mere 3% of the sector. In real terms this translates as Jews being confined to less than half of 1% of Hebron. "al Shuhada" is actually named King David Street and was referred to by Arabs as "al Yahudiyyah" (Street of the Jews) until 1952 when Jordan renamed the street after having demolished most of the town's Jewish Quarter. Arabs, who are freely allowed to go anywhere in the street- including "al Shuhada" arent angry over anything other than a noticeable Jewish presence in a town that served as the capital of a sovereign Jewish State some 300 years before the first Arab stepped onto the historical stage in 853 BCE/AD- which happens to be 1,100 years before the very first Arab arrived in Hebron (638 CE/AD). Finally, there are more than 800 Jews living in H2, but counting Kiryat Arba which is immediately contigious to H2 the Jewish Population is nearly 14,000- just a tad bit different than "500 Jews living in Hebron."
