'Palestinian' given death penalty for selling homes to Jews

A 'Palestinian' in the 'east' Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan has been murdered, apparently for selling homes to Jews.

A 20-year-old man was stabbed to death in the Silwan neighborhood of Jerusalem, Israel Radio reported on Friday.

Israel Police reported that the man was killed following an argument that broke out between family members. It is not yet clear which family members were involved

Neighbors who witnessed the fight told police that the argument was over the hot-button issue of selling homes to Jews in the predominantly Arab neighborhood.

...

Fadi Maragha, a local Fatah representative, said he felt that the broker who sold homes to Jews should die.

In the past, Palestinians found to have sold their homes to Jewish organizations have been killed.

In Silwan, there are 90 Jewish families with about 500 Jews, who live among 50,000 Arabs. No one has even discussed a similar penalty for Jews who sell apartments to Arabs in predominantly Jewish neighborhoods. Just sayin'....

Shabbat Shalom u'Moadim l'Simcha to all of you.
