Jewish settlers on Thursday marked the first anniversary of the Hebron massacre by praying at the grave of the gunman who killed 29 Muslim worshippers.
They praised Baruch Goldstein as a holy man who helped to deter Arabs from attacking Jews.
Goldstein is revered as a hero by Jewish settlers.
They have nothing but praise for his actions on February 25, 1994, when he shot and killed 29 Muslims at the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron.
(Although the massacre happened on February 25th, it took place on the 16th according to the Jewish calendar.)
Some 300 mourners turned up for the memorial service at the site of Goldstein's grave in Kiryat Arba on the West Bank.
During the service, the leader of the anti-Arab group Kahane Chai, Benjamin Kahane, said it was a special day.
He also threatened more violence against Palestinians - referring to the Hebron massacre as one explosion, he predicted there would be another one.

With this thread I want to show that you have terrorism and extremism in all major religions. There are extremist Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindu's, Buddhists, Sikhs and violent sects.
