Judenrein Hebron

There are hundreds of articles that talk about the supposed suffering of Palestinian Arabs in Hebron, as the Jews who live there are characterized as radical, zealous extremists who impose their capricious will on the frightened populace. An entire UN team and a separate Christian group painstakingly report every real and imagined crime done by Jews in Hebron.

But this morning, Ma'an reports:

Palestinian police handed over an Israeli citizen to the Israeli authorities on Friday morning, who claimed he had entered Hebron by mistake.

The Israeli authorities said that any Israeli who enters area "A" is going against the orders of the Israeli military commander.

Casual observers have no idea that "Area A" (or H1) the Judenrein part of Hebron, exists.

Fewer still know that this area comprises 80% of Hebron.

This area includes parts that were unquestioningly Jewish owned before the 1929 massacre that killed 67 Jews in Hebron, driving them out of the city that they had lived in for thousands of years continuously. And Jews are still not allowed to return to those areas, as the world considers the concept of "return" to exclusively belong to Palestinian Arabs, not Palestinian Jews.

Since 1967, the Arab population of Hebron has ballooned from 38,000 to over 130,000, hardly evidence of Israeli oppression.

Only by sheer luck did the Jew who wandered into the Judenrein part of Hebron this morning survive without getting murdered.

Since Baruch Goldstein killed 29 Arabs in Hebron in 1994, at least 50 Jews have been murdered in that area in terror attacks, including a massacre of 12 Jews coming from synagogue in 2002, but no international or Christian teams care about protecting them.
