"Peace Now" Nazis Call to Desecrate Goldstein Tomb
(IsraelNN.com) The extreme-left “Peace Now” organization has asked police to demolish the tomb of Doctor Baruch Goldstein, which is located just outside of Hebron. The call for the tomb’s desecration came hours after police arrested a young man who waved a picture of Rabbi Meir Kahane during a Megilla reading at the site. The arrest led to confrontations between police and other worshippers.
Doctor Baruch Goldstein killed 29 Arab worshippers in the Tomb of the Patriarchs on Purim of 1994, exactly 13 years ago. While many area residents denounce his actions, some claim that he saved the Jewish community from attack, and have made his tomb a site of pilgrimage and group prayer.
