Sign in Sheikh Jarrah, East Jerusalem
December 9, 2012

Yonah Yoseph, the spokesman of the neighborhood's Jewish settlers told settler Channel 7 that he will bring help and that the signs will be removed by noon. Then, they will make a "big noise" to show the world that the neighborhood is Jewish. I am writing this article roughly two hours after his deadline; at this moment there are no reports that the signs were removed. Yet, his following words removed something else, the make-up covering Jewish manners.
"Simeon the Just, the Tannah, the High Priest, the Grandfather of the Hashmonaim, is buried here for over 2,300 years. No invented people, who can't even properly pronounce his name will change that." The phrase "invented people" refers to the Palestinians. He continued his tirade, complaining that the Jewish settlement is not developing properly, but "a bit of light repels darkness, the settlement here is still tiny, but we expect other houses to become Jewish. It doesn't matter what the goyim say, what matters is what the Jews do."
