Israeli settler kids in Hebron dress as Arabs for Purim

[PalestineMyHeart 1,897]

For just a moment yesterday, one might have thought that the demonstrations worked, or that the hoax newspaper announcing the end of segregation on Shuhada St was not a hoax after all. For a moment, one might have mistakenly assumed that Palestinians are actually walking that main road in Hebron’s city center, with its closed shops and racist graffiti sprayed on them, and the local population locked in their homes and tormented by settlers. But this too was a hoax. A Purim hoax. Once again settlers celebrated Purim by marching on the Jewish-only street merrily disguised as Palestinians. Segregation was kept: fake Arabs – in, real ones – out.

Children of illegal Israeli settlers, dressed as Arabs, parade down Shuhada Street in Purim celebration, occupied Hebron, West Bank, March 2012.

Shuhada Street is the heart of the old Hebron business district, now occupied by a bunch of illegal Israeli settlers and declared off-limits to Palestinians (even the Palestinian owners of the businesses along the street can't get into their own shops.)

However, fake Arabs are allowed.

Nah... the soldiers can tell these guys aren't real Arabs - just look at how they are wearing the keffiyeh

Since when did that stop them?

IDF soldiers are instructed not to shoot at or do any physical harm to Jews (even if they're in the act of mass murdering Palestinians at a mosque or in a bus) - not unless they're doing something like attending a Wall protest or escorting Palestinian kids to school.
