Israel – Israel's only crematorium has been heavily damaged by fire, and police said Thursday that arson is suspected.
Burning bodies violates Orthodox Jewish law, which calls for a person to be interred intact.

No arrests have been made, but Yehuda Meshi-Zahav, an ultra-Orthodox activist who heads the ZAKA rescue service, has been summoned for questioning on suspicion of trespassing, police said.
Alon Nativ, the crematorium's operator, said the facility has been running for two years, but its location hadn't been disclosed for fear it would be attacked. Nativ accused ZAKA of discovering the crematorium and posting pictures of it on the Internet. [Chicago Tribune]
At least 20% of Israel’s population is not Jewish, so what does any body care? With only one crematorium, it’s not likely they’re servicing even that much. I hope this guy gets the book thrown at him.
ONLY IN ISRAEL A COUNTRY REBUILT ON THE ASHES OF OUR 6 MILLION BROTHERS AND SISTERS
THEY DONT SEE AND CANT SEEM TO GRASP “WHATS WRONG WITH BURNING BODIES”
MY GOSH! UNBELEIVABLE HOW LOW ONE CAN FALL
LIVING A LIFE DEVOID OF TORAH AND MITZVOS WITH OUT A RAV ROSH YESHIVA OR REBBE TO DIRECT AND HELP STEER ONE ON THE RIGHT PATH
IS LIKE A SAILBOAT STUCK IN AN OCEAN WITH ITS SAILS RIPPED OFF DUE TO A STORM SHUNTED FROM SIDE TO SIDE BEING TOOSED ABOUT WITH OUT ANY DIRECTION
A SAD “STATE” OF AFFAIRS THE COUNTRY CALLED ISRAEL
it’s appropriate to “burn down” a crematorium.
i agree but burning bodys is a new thing, and they know that its taking the next step against Jewdaism…..

Kosher most of them keep, Shabbos is one thing (Tinokos SheNishbu), but this is something we call “Shev V’Al Taaseh”. A Bandeh BeHeimas.
if zaka did it they commited a crime, but Im happy that they did it. in Israel people do what in the world they want they dont care what the jewish law says. they dont keep shabbos or kosher this is nothing new!!!!!
