Even an idiot like you, filled with hate against people like me can find something, every once in awhile for me to be ashamed about. The thought that a Rabbi would be stupid enough to burn any book, even more so a religious book to many, is shocking.
I am proud that both the teacher and the principal (rabbi- but not a chief rabbi) were taken off their positions and that the matter is being further reviewed. I doubt that the same would be said in the Arab world you so love. There it is OK to burn your enemies not merely their books. Look at the Iraq's and the Kurds, the situation in Sudan, in Sri Lanka, and in Kashmir, forgetting my favorite conflict in the middle east.
I am a hawk when it comes to Israel and make no apologizies for the conclusion that I've drawn; namely that the only way to deal with the Arab populations that what to throw Israel to the sea, is to rid yourself of those populations. My solution would be that if a terror attack comes from Jenin, fine.. take the town of Jenin, move them en mass to the Syrian border, force them off the buses and let a terror sponsor state deal with them there. It is vastly easier for a terrorist to cross the lines in the West Bank than in Syria. If you do this once or twice the Arabs will learn that the community pays a price for sponsoring terror on the local level. If they don't learn, then eventually the land will be rid of them entirely and the problem becomes a Syrian one. Since they sponsor the terror they should have the burden.
That is my solution. I hope Israel has the guts to try it. I am sure it would work, and with far fewer casualties on all sides than any other solution I know of.
