Who is Baruch Goldstein ?




http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baruch_Goldstein

Baruch Kappel Goldstein (Hebrew: ברוך גולדשטיין‎; December 9, 1956 – February 25, 1994) was an American-born Jewish Israeli (http://www.debatepolicy.com/wiki/Israelis) physician who perpetrated the 1994 Cave of the Patriarchs massacre in the city of Hebron, killing 29 Muslims at prayer there and wounding another 150.

Was Baruch Goldstein Completely Innocent? by Barry Chamish

Avraham Yosef concludes, "Dr. Baruch Goldstein was found guilty of mass murder by the government media in a pre-designed campaign though he killed no one. The fingerprints of the real plotter behind this ghastly plot are on the hands of the then-head of the Jewish Department of the Shabak."

At Goldstein's eulogy Rabbi Dov Lior of Kiryat Arba stated:
"Goldstein could not continue to bear all the cases he was seeing as a doctor; he might have gone insane from all he went through."

Rabbi Lior added that
"since Goldstein did what he did in God's name, he is to be regarded as a Righteous Man"

and asserted that Goldstein was
"a martyr of God";
"His hands are innocent, and his heart is pure."

My Comment:

the reason i posted this topic is not to say that dr goldstien is a terrorist or to say that he is innocent, i just presented all the sides, the side that blame him, and the side that defend him.


- So, is there something called jewish extremists, or is that something exclusive to say about muslims only ?

which openion do you agree with:


1

In the United Kingdom, Chief Rabbi Dr. Jonathan Sacks stated:

-Such an act is an obscenity and a travesty of Jewish values. That it should have been perpetrated against worshippers in a house of prayer at a holy time makes it a blasphemy as well... Violence is evil. Violence committed in the name of God is doubly evil. Violence against those engaged in worshipping God is unspeakably evil.


-Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin denounced Goldstein. Rabin, addressing not just Goldstein and his legacy but also other settlers he regarded as militant, declared:
You are not part of the community of Israel... You are not part of the national democratic camp which we all belong to in this house, and many of the people despise you. You are not partners in the Zionist enterprise. You are a foreign implant. You are an errant weed. Sensible Judaism spits you out. You placed yourself outside the wall of Jewish law... We say to this horrible man and those like him: you are a shame on Zionism and an embarrassment to Judaism.

-Rabbi Yaacov Perrin claimed that even one million Arabs are "not worth a Jewish fingernail."

-Professor Samuel Hacohen declared Goldstein the "greatest Jew alive, not in one way but in every way" and said that he was "the only one who could do it, the only one who was 100 percent perfect."
