Hebron

Hebron or Chevron is an ancient Jewish city, currently occupied by Arab squatters. Hebron was purchased by Abraham, as a place of Jewish burial. It was re-purchased in the 1500's by Sephardic Jews. Hebron was ethnically cleansed of all Jews by Arabs, in 1929. Their descendants still hold legal title to the land of Hebron. It is not known whether the Arabs squatting in Jewish owned homes are the direct descendants of the murders of 1929 .

A Jewish guy was murdered by racist Arabs in Hebron, two weeks ago.
