Unlike many Israeli towns and communities, including the left-wing kibbutzim, my home in Shiloh was built on land with a long, rich Jewish History and was unoccupied before modern Shiloh was established. Until terrorism made it too dangerous, not only did Arabs work here, but neighboring Arab families availed themselves on the medical staff resident here.
Only Sinat Chinam, Baseless Hatred, could be the cause for a statement like this:
"We did not come here as right-wing settlers," said Rosenblatt. "The haredi residents of Modi'in always have always had a terrific relationship with our Arab neighbors. We brought them business and jobs. Peace Now not only caused us a lot of damage and heartache, they also hurt the Arabs."
It's not true. Rosenblatt's statement is a clear examples of Sinat Chinam, Baseless Hatred and Motzei Shem Raa, a false statement which is either derogatory OR potentially harmful to a third party.
Rosenblatt is no better than Peace Now, which set motion the financial bankruptcy of the Cheftziba Building Company.
