Our “Beacon of Democracy in the Middle East” - Stoning Women and Girls for Wearing Red

Someone call the ADL and get Abe Foxman to issue a statement denouncing this brutality.

Email Alan Dershowitz so he'll show righteous anger against this travesty.

Get Senator Joe LIeberman to introduce a bill...

What?

Can't touch this subject, since it's our only friend in the ME, Israel siccing another band of rabid thugs on anyone that dares voice a difference of opinion.

Sssssshhhh.

(Burning stores that sell MP3 players and internet access and stoning women who wear the “wrong” clothes. “If it takes fire to get them to stop, then so be it.” said one zealot of his support for these actions. This is what we call our beacon of democracy in the region? Notice the sign down there is addressed To WOMEN AND GIRLS. Girls. (What kind of sick, cowardly, piece of shit throws rocks at girls? And we send these people money to help with their defense?)They would throw stones at girls because they don’t adhere to their ultra-fundamentalist views about an invisible flying spagetti monster and they dared walk through this neighborhood… in our Beacon of Democracy in the Region?
These are the same kinds of zealots that steal land in Palestine and attack little old ladies with baseball bats and they are the same kinds of zealots that keep track of voting records of OUR congressmen so they can pressure them into voting for THEIR issues. Now, I want you to think real hard about this; if this kind of behavior was taking place in Alabama about 40 ago, we would call these guys the Klan and we would brand them a hate-group.)

“In Israel’s ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, where the rule of law sometimes takes a back seat to the rule of God, zealots are on a campaign to stamp out behavior they consider unchaste. They hurl stones at women for such “sins” as wearing a red blouse and attack stores selling devices that can access the Internet.

In recent weeks, self-styled “modesty patrols” have been accused of breaking into the apartment of a Jerusalem woman and beating her for allegedly consorting with men. They have torched a store that sells MP4 players, fearing devout Jews would use them to download pornography.

“These breaches of purity and modesty endanger our community,” said 38-year-old Elchanan Blau, defending the bearded, black-robed zealots. “If it takes fire to get them to stop, then so be it.”

The unidentified, 31-year-old woman had left the ultra-Orthodox fold after getting divorced, according to the indictment filed by the Jerusalem district attorney's office. The indictment said her assailant tried to get her to leave her apartment in a haredi neighborhood in Jerusalem by gagging, beating and threatening to kill her. He was paid $2,000 for the attack, it said.

A 17-year-old who moved to Israel from New York five years ago said she was hospitalized after being attacked with pepper spray by a crowd of men outraged that she was walking down a Jerusalem street with boys.

"They can burn in hell," said the girl, who would identify herself only as Rivka.

She lives in Beit Shemesh, a town outside Jerusalem where the vigilantism has been particularly violent. Zealots there have thrown rocks and spat at women, and set fire to trash bins to protest impiety. Walls of the neighborhood are plastered with signs exhorting women to dress modestly — spelled out as closed-necked, long-sleeved blouses and long skirts.

The state, catering to religious sensitivities, subsidizes gender-segregated bus routes that service religious neighborhoods. Ragen and several other women challenged the practice in Israel's Supreme Court after an Orthodox Canadian woman in her 50s told police she was kicked, slapped, pushed to the floor and spat upon by men for refusing to move to the back of the bus.

Another Beit Shemesh girl, who asked to be identified only as Esther, said zealots threw rocks, cursed and spat at a friend for wearing a red blouse — taboo because the color attracts attention.

Those Zionist kids are so sick in the mind.  It so difficult to watch kids so young, act in such racist, violent manner.  And in ZionTV we are told it is the original Arabs who are the problem.... lies and deception!
