Nablus tragedy

Rabbi Elyakim Levanon, one of the top settlement rabbis, has urged his followers and others not to travel to Nablus after a young ultra-Orthodox Jew and father of four was killed when he and his colleagues tried to run a Palestinian checkpoint after visiting the alleged burial place of Joseph.
Ben-Yosef Livnat, a nephew of the Likud Minister Limor Livnat, was killed after he and his group failed to liaise their visit with the Israeli Army and the PA. He and his colleagues were in three cars when they tried to run the checkpoint. According to an Israeli Army report, the Palestinian police officers fired warning shots into the air before opening fire at the speeding vehicles.
This is a tragedy born of the fact that some people think it is beneath them to stop at checkpoints and Rabbi Levanon is correct to warn others of travelling to the West Bank city. It is most unfortunate that people's minds have been poisoned into thinking they are invincible and that the law doesn't apply to them.

Because of Arab antisemitism. Do Arabs need to co-ordinate every visit of theirs to the Temple Mount? if they did, you would be the first to start screaming about it saying "apartheid apartheid".. You are one sick individual. |

We are dealing with people (PA) who neither respect life nor anyone else's religion - as you mention they attempted to burn down the Tomb again after the murder. That being so we are enjoined by the Torah to live by the precepts not die by them. These Breslover Hassidim were fortunate to have enjoyed Hashem's bounty and were not previously harmed however one must take all necessary precautions where there is a possibility of putting oneself in harm's way and they did not. |
