I don't see any peace for Israel ever happening. Why? Jerusalem. The Israelis in trying to secure a Jewish State have a fourteen hundred year Muslim Mosque considered holy at the epicenter of their illegally annexed capital...
Funny they easily find stone throwers at tanks but still have not found the culprits who burned a family alive.
Albert Einstein refused the Presidency of the Jewish State warning us that Fascism is at the heart of Zionism.
This incident is a result of it...
A quiet street in Jerusalem becomes a new front line between Israelis, Palestinians
JERUSALEM — On the surface, Meir Nakar Street seems like an idyllic place to live. A kindergarten and a leafy park are on one side of the street and a row of neat stone houses is on the other.
But this quiet area has recently become a new front line of sorts in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
For many nights over the past month, Palestinian youths have lobbed stones, pipe bombs and Molotov cocktails at the houses here, residents say. One property was hit more than 17 times in 10 days, sparking a fire inside the home and in the garden.
The attacks come from Abu Rabi’a Street, a thoroughfare that snakes through the adjacent Arab neighborhood of Jabel Mukaber.
“These attacks have happened in the past, but now they seem more organized,” said Gill Schecter, who has lived on Meir Nakar Street for five years. He called the situation a “new intifada,” in reference to two violent Palestinian uprisings against Israel in the late 1980s and early 2000s.
And he’s worried that the situation will only get worse.
[Jewish extremists torch Palestinian homes, killing toddler, authorities say]
“What happened in Duma goes through my mind,” Schecter said, referring to a firebombing in July in the West Bank in which a Palestinian family was burned alive. Israeli authorities think Jewish extremists were behind that attack.
“We are only one step away from what happened there and, so far, we have just been lucky,” he said.
Abu Rabi’a Street bustles with grocery stores and other businesses during the day. Despite the uptick in violence at night, residents from the Jewish neighborhood, Armon Hanatziv, still shop there.
Although no official line demarks where Armon Hanatziv ends and Jabel Mukaberbegins, the contrast between the two is stark. The Jewish area is modern with wide, well-planned streets. The Arab area has no parks and few trees, and the roads are narrow and winding.
Last week, the municipality erected a nearly 20-foot-high wire fence between the two communities in an attempt to stop the attacks on Jewish residents. Heavily armed police are now permanently stationed on both streets.
