Under police protection gangs of immigrant settlers parade throught the old Streets of Jerusalem threatenting to carry out pogroms against the Arabs who have lived there for centuries.
" The settlers chanted “death to Arabs” and other racists slogans while marching in Arab markets and the alleys of the Old City. "

Israeli politicians propose a new round of human rights violations against both Gazans and imprisoned Palestinians after the failure of the outgoing Olmert government to free Captured soldier Gilad Shalit by taking the necessary steps.
Among the violations proposed are the collective punishment of Gazans by restricting supplies to the bombed enclave and also the collective punishment of prisoners held in Israel's jails.

In our collective memory, the terrorists' joy on the day of their release would be nothing compared to the excitement of the moment when we see Gilad getting out of the abductors' vehicle and running into his mother's arms. For a moment like that, any price is worthwhile. "
