Let’s not forget Goldstein’s mass murder at the mosque

Let us not forget Baruch Goldstein’s mass murder at the mosque in Hebron

Let us mourn all the attacks on houses of worship, including the massacre at the mosque in Hebron on Purim 1994, when Brooklyn-born Israeli settler Baruch Goldstein slaughtered 29 Palestinians while they prayed. 

This mass murderer is honored as a saint by some Israelis, and a book of 533 pages was published in praise of his homicidal deeds: Baruch Ha-Gever (“Baruch the Saint,” Jerusalem, 1995, Mikhael Ben-Horin, ed.).

Hoffman is a former reporter for the New York bureau of the Associated Press and the author of Judaism Discovered and Judaism’s Strange Gods
