Yesha Council Condemns Use of Shfaram Incident to Insult Entire Population
21:33 Aug 04, '05 / 28 Tammuz 5765

(IsraelNN.com) The Yesha Council announced this evening (Thursday) that it is shocked and severely criticizes the shooting incident in Shfaram that took the lives of innocent people.
The Yesha Council also criticizes the cynical use of the incident by certain political entities to try to make a connection between a serious incident to the democratic, legitimate and nonviolent protest against the expulsion from Gush Katif.

Naming him “a settler” even though he was not a resident of any settlement is an attempt to slander a whole population who is leading a democratic protest in an exemplary way. It would be better to act with more responsibility instead of criticizing only in order to gain dubious political benefits.[link]

Council on American-Islamic Relation said:"This brutal attack on innocent civilians once again demonstrates that terrorism and extremism can rise out of any faith".
WorldNet Daily reports:"Responding to CAIR's comment, scholar Robert Spenser told to WND"rush to condemn this isolated incident only underscores their curious silence after the great majority of Islamic terror attacks"
"Terror is indeed terror, but there is no organized movement of Jewish-or Christian- terrorists using their scriptures to justify that terror", said Spencer, director of Jihad Watch.
