La versione online di Yediot Ahronot riporta oggi il video su di una festa di Purim molto particolare, tenutasi nella casa di Sheykh Jarrah, quartiere di Gerusalemme est, occupata da coloni israeliani. Si cantava e si ballava, nella casa. E si cantavano anche canzoni che inneggiavano a Baruch Goldstein, il colono radicale protagonista dell’attentato terroristico nella Moschea Ibrahimi di Hebron, in cui, nel febbraio 1994, uccise 29 fedeli in preghiera.
The video was filmed this past Monday, and shows residents singing and dancing next to their Arab neighbors: “Dr. Goldstein, there is none other like you in the world. Dr. Goldstein, we all love you… he aimed at terrorists’ heads, squeezed the trigger hard, and shot bullets, and shot, and shot.”
One of the leaders of the leftist campaign in the neighborhood, Assaf Sharon, described to Ynet: “The settlers are allowed to hold political activities and aggravating and offensive as could possibly be, and the neighborhood’s original residents, who are still a majority there, are not allowed to do a thing. We saw them enter a house, have a party, and play very loud music.”
