ARABS ASK ISRAEL TO GET RID OF LEFTIE WESTERNERS

Hevron Arabs Ask Jews For Help in Banishing Leftist Activists
"Arab leaders in Hevron [Hebron] have contacted the city's Jewish leaders for help in getting rid of self-proclaimed anarchist volunteers who, they complain, are destroying their traditional way of life," reports Arutz Sheva:

The anarchists, many of whom are members of the International Solidarity Movement, flock to flashpoints throughout Judea and Samaria, ostensibly to help PA Arabs contend with IDF closures and protect them from harassment. In actuality, many of the volunteers seek confrontations with IDF soldiers and local Jewish residents, taking advantage of their Western passports to cause havoc--knowing that, at worst, they will be deported, not jailed.

The local Arabs in the Hevron region whom the activists claim to be helping are now complaining that the American and European students behave in a provocative and offensive manner in Hevron's public areas. The Arabs say the activists disrespect the moral norms and standards of the local population.

You may recall that the International Solidarity Movement was the group to which Rachel Corrie--the terror advocate who died in a self-inflicted bulldozer accident--belonged.
