They hate you because of me - On 2005.02.16., I posted the news article from ASSIST News Service titled, "Christian Businesses Torched after Druze Teen Spreads Internet Rumor."
This is an update and some new information.
A reader, Amer, left a comment pointing to a large collection of photographs that catalog some of the damage done to the Christian community in Maghar. You can view those images here: Maghar's Pogrom. The image above is one such image.
As to new information, Jack Khoury is reporting for Haartez that a new pamphlet is being circulated by someone or some group threatening more violence against Christians in Maghar:
The pamphlet, which was distributed Sunday and signed by a group calling itself "The Heroes of Hamza Ben Ali" after a Druze saint, expressed support for the riots and included detailed threats to open fire on any Christians venturing onto the village's main road starting Wednesday.
The threat is under investigation by the police in the area who are taking it very seriously. The police have also been threatened in the pamphlet because of the arrests and investigation into the violent riots earlier.
The Great Separation continues.
