Head of Atheist org's home vandalized in Israel

Link to the article here.

Vandals spray-painted graffiti at the home of Prof. Yaakov Malkin, director of Tmura, the International Institute for Humanistic Secular Judaism, in Jerusalem's German Colony Thursday morning. 

A Star of David and the phrases "Psalms 139: 21-24" and "Destruction of Amalek" were scrawled on the fence surrounding his home. A knife and an envelope containing a threatening letter were also found at the scene, reading "a Jew whose hands are bloody resides in your street. This Jew received a severe warning."

Aside from the harassment of Atheists, there has been a rise in crime by Jewish extremists in general against Palestinians as well. It's clear that Israel is slowly turning into (well, it pretty much always has been) an apartheid state.

Ugh, thugs

They might as well have written, "I'm here to act for God because he's too busy/nonexistent to do anything himself."

We're always told that God uses human beings to accomplish his ends. I guess this proves it, as these eedjits were clearly 'tools'.

Of course he does. And it looks remarkably like him doing nothing at all.

It's nice of him to wait until we invent cures for things before "acting through" us. We wouldn't want to be patronised after all.

Let's just hope that the Israeli police actually do something serious about this. I mean remember when settlers killed that poor child in the arson attack? The police actually let some of those psychos go. But hey what can you expect from a severely biased religious state.

If anything religious gets vandalised it's "persecution".

If anything atheist gets vandalised by the religious it's because we're fair game.

Too right, rob. Innit astonishing how much the ineffable looks like the non-existent?

It's a long known fact that parts of Jerusalem have been virtually taken over by religious nutjobs. They harass women, girls, shopkeepers and everyone not adhering to their archaic bible world. So why does that come as a surprise? The current government does nothing about them, since they're in a coalition with the religious right party.

I don't know if they even changed the laws of exempting these nutters from military service. They let other fight their battles whilst they do the harassment at home.

Hmm.

Some Jews looking for more enemies . . .

Jerusalem's German Colony

Jerusalem has a German Colony?

That must get tense.
