A clandestine undertaking on behalf of Israel, the Jets and the Jews.

 
Tzedekah to Arabs

Last year I posted about an elderly Arab man who asked to give me a tour of the Old City of Jerusalem. When I politely declined, he asked me for money for his family which he said was suffering because of the political "problems" and I gave him a shekel.

This morning upon my arrival at the Jewish Quarter, as if on cue, the same man approached me immediately with the same shpiel. This time I didn't give him anything and he gestured by waving his hand at me as if to tell me to go to hell.

I usually give money to beggars in Israel. On Friday I had given money to a man with no legs and to an old man who approached me, at which time an Israeli man without a kippah started screaming at me for giving money to Arabs when three soldiers had been killed the day before by Arab terrorists. I didn't know whether the people I had given money to were Arab and Jewish, but since then am feeling more self-conscious about giving to people who look Arab while an Arab terror war against Israeli civilians and the murder of IDF soldiers continues.
