3 ½ millenniums later Israeli leftwing groups protests Jews in Hebron

Peace Now, the hardcore extremist left-wing group, protested the “Israeli Occupation” in Hebron of all places. The demonstration was to mark the 40 years of direct Israeli sovereignty over Hebron and protest the presence of Jews living in the Hebron community. The Jerusalem Post reports:
Some 300 activists from the left-wing group Peace Now gathered in Hebron on Tuesday for a demonstration marking 40 years since Israel conquered the West Bank in the Six Day War. Substantial IDF and security forces were on hand to maintain order in case of disturbances, but the protest passed peacefully. However, local Palestinians threw stones at the Peace Now bus and a police vehicle after the demonstration. No one was hurt in the incident.

Talk about being fisked – literally.
