Palestinian target practice for US tourists in the West Bank
Rate Article:
Stay in a kibbutz, go out clubbing in Tel Aviv, say a prayer at the Western Wall and then go to a settlement to practice killing Palestinians.
This is the new summer camp for American tourists keen to get shooting at ‘terrorists’ in illegal settlements in the West Bank. At Gush Etzion, Israeli residents, who run activities, offer the chance to hear tales of ‘battles’, watch simulated assassinations and fire guns.
At the end of the thrill-filled day, tourists get a certificate to record that they "completed a basic shooting course in Israel."
"Suppose that the terrorist in front of me has an automatic weapon," Shay, one of the guides, told Ynet. "He can spray a cartridge within 2.8 seconds, which means I have less than three seconds to take him down. And that is what I will do."
The location of the course - over the green line and in Palestinian territory - is the main draw for the danger-seeking tourists. Although guides are clear that there is no actual threat.
Just outside the settlement, Palestinians who live in and around Bethlehem must go through checkpoints manned by IDF soldiers. The security presence means gun-toting tourists would be unlikely to meet a ‘terrorist’.
Conversely, attacks by Israeli settlers on Palestinians are on the increase. According to The Jerusalem Fund: “Israeli settler violence is growing and is a consistent threat to Palestinian livelihoods.” The attacks span from burning olive trees to breaking into Palestinian homes, carrying automatic weapons.
And it’s not just adult tourists who are taking part in the shooting practice course. According to an investigation by Ynet, children as young as five were allowed to shoot at the range:
Michel Brown, 40, a Miami banker, chose to take his wife and three children to the range with the purpose of "teaching them values."
Upon entering the range, his five-year-old daughter, Tamara, bursts into tears. A half hour later, she is holding a gun and shooting clay bullets like a pro.
"This is part of their education," Michel says as he proudly watches his daughter. "They should know where they come from and also feel some action."

Why have Jews been silent about CHOSEN Israel’s outright atrocities and genocides since even before 1946! Genocide-Committing Israel was founded by real ‘terrorist gangs’ (Hagana, Stern, Irgun, Isterdut etc) who used US weaponry to massacre Palestinians, Lebanese, Jordanians, Syrians, Iraqis, Egyptians, Arabs, Moslems, true M.E. Christians and Easterners, starting with Golda Meyerson, B. Gurion, M. Dayan, A. Sharon, Y. Rabin (who was killed by Jews for wanting to make peace), E. Barak and Olmert, T. Livni, M. Begin and the rest of the 12 tribes, including the Deir Yasseen massacres and the Geneva banned use of napalm, cluster, nail, nuclear-clad bunker busters in pre-emptive Israeli wars and attacks on peaceful Arabs since 1948, torture, indefinite detentions without trials, usurpation of lands, lives and properties, massacres by murderer Sharon in Shatilla and Sabra camps (just a fraction of Jew atrocities), usurpation of the lands-lives-properties of Arabs and even bombing to smithereens of defenseless refuges in what BARBARIC Israel calls ‘collective punishment’. The ‘ENABLER’ in all these Jewish atrocities is the Jew-run US! Since Jew FDR’s time in 1936 with half-Jew W. Churchill and Jew Truman, all US Presidents, bar none, were ‘Christianists’ converts from Judaism that shamelessly calls Jews CHOSEN over all others, were married to Jewesses or had Jew blood including Mr Obama who is oddly enough related to Geithner, Cheney and the Jew Bushes! That is why US has shielded Israel (by casting the overwhelming majority of UN Vetoes since 1972) from even criticism, not to mention giving CHOSEN Israel a yearly Aid-Weapons package of $80 billion. Now that the Jews have destroyed the economy of the US, there will be peace… eventually! Doctor, heal thyself! And you, USA, HEEL! Heel, the Orthodox said!
Israel's "claim" to Palestine is based entirely on War Crimes and GENOCIDE.
It is UNFAIR and WRONG to compare Israel to the Nazis.
The CORRECT comparison is Nazis to Israelis:
The Nazis copied the Jewish "Manual" point by point

Jews SELF-anointed "The CHOSEN People of GOD"
Nazis SELF-anointed "The GENETICALLY CHOSEN People of God".
And even TODAY:
April 10, 2008 "All of the Palestinians must be killed; men, women, infants, and even their beasts." This was the religious opinion issued one week ago by Rabbi Yisrael Rosen, director of the Tsomet Institute, a long-established religious institute attended by students and soldiers in the Israeli settlements of the West Bank.
Only in Israel could this happen and be tolerated by sick individuals.Wow,now they can get the feel of an African Safari and not worry about the wild beast eating them.And yet,they themselves are the wild beast,and for the life of them,can't see it through their ignorance.If any other Nation did this there would be uproars of anger.Had any other Nation did this and it was directed at the Jews you would never hear the end of it.It would be plastered on the lame MSM for weeks on end.
