Jews against Jews

KIRYAT ARBA, West Bank -- Shock mingled with fear of civil war gripped
Jewish settlers Sunday after the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak
Rabin, allegedly by a fellow Jew.
At Kiryat Arba in the occupied West Bank, a teacher in the settlement's Nir
Jewish seminary, said: "What happened last night, God forbid, could cause
war between us, between Jews."
An expert on Israeli right-wing militant groups said the ideology which
fostered hatred of Arabs and had its center in Kiryat Arba had finally
overflowed in Saturday night's killing.
It had became what Israelis fear most: violence of Jew against Jew.
Kiryat Arba was the home of U.S.-born settler Baruch Goldstein who massacred
29 Arab worshipers in a mosque in nearby Hebron in February 1994 before
survivors killed him.
"He (Rabin's assassin) murdered another Jew and we can't understand it. We
can't justify it at all," said Rabbi Shimon Ben-Zion, the seminary teacher.
What part of 'iniquity' is not understood?
De Profundis:
Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord.
Lord, hear my voice!
Let Your ears be attentive to my voice in supplication.
If You, O Lord, mark iniquities, Lord, who can stand?
But with You is forgiveness, that You may be revered.
I trust in the Lord; my soul trusts in His word.
My soul waits for the Lord more than sentinels
wait for the dawn,
For with the Lord is kindness, and with Him is
plenteous redemption;
And He will redeem Israel from all their iniquities.
