Crowd Shouts 'Death to the Arabs' at an Israeli Wedding of Jew and Muslim

RISHON LEZION Israel (Reuters) - Israeli police on Sunday blocked more than 200 far-right Israeli protesters from rushing guests at a wedding of a Jewish woman and Muslim man as they shouted "death to the Arabs" in a sign of tensions stoked by the Gaza war.

Protesters, many of them young men wearing black shirts, denounced Malka, who was born Jewish and converted to Islam before the wedding, as a "traitor against the Jewish state," and shouted epithets of hatred toward Arabs including "death to the Arabs." They sang a song that urges, "May your village burn down."


Lehava spokesman and former lawmaker Michael Ben-Ari denounced Jews intermarrying with non-Jews of any denomination as "worse than what Hitler did," alluding to the murder of 6 million Jews across Europe in World War Two.

Marrying non Jews is "worse than what Hitler did?" My head hurts.
Michael Ben-Ari needs to shut up. Not helping.

"Malka’s father, Yoram Malka, said on Israeli tv that he objected to the wedding, calling it “a very sad occasion”. He said he was angry that his daughter had converted to Islam. Of his now son-in-law, he stated: “My dilemma with him is that he is an Arab.”

3. Rabbi Druckman: Intermarriage is a Catastrophe

"There is no other word for it but terrible assimilation,” he said. “It is very painful. We feel the pain of intermarriage outside of Israel, in the Diaspora. This phenomoenon inflicts a holocaust upon our nation. So when it happens in the Land of Israel, among us, will we not be pained? Will we not protest this?”

Rabbi Druckman also responded to the statement by Health Minister Yael Geman (Yesh Atid), who said that the marriage was “another step in the transformation of Israeli society into a more tolerant and pluralistic one.”

"It is no less painful to hear a minister in the Israeli government talking like that,” he said. “The pain is multiplied several times. It turns out that in the Israeli government, too, there are those who are not aware of the uniqueness of the Jewish people, and are not aware of the Nation of Israel's special identity.

“This is a most illegitimate phenomenon,” ha added, regarding the marriage in Rishon Letzion. “One must understand, even Jews who call themselves secular would not agree that their son or daughter marry a Muslim.”

They can dust off the original, update it only a few decades is all, and implement it despite the slippery conditions of their hands.

Plenty of other useful rules in the template as well, to protect flags and ensure proper employment, among other directives.

Then all can gather, the original authors and the plagiarists, and celebrate the circular nature of hate.

Who'll know or perceive the irony?

And the rest of us will mill about outside until we're finally arrayed like we're staring into Farmer Jones window, looking first at one, then to the other, and finally realizing it's become impossible to say which is which.
