Israeli peace activists demonstrated at the grave of Dr. Baruch Goldstein to mark four years since the Jewish settler opened fire at the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron, killing 29 Muslim worshipers before being beaten to death by an angry crowd. A group of Jewish settlers held a counter-demonstration at the grave. The Peace Now activists demanded that the grave, located in a park in Kiryat Arba, be removed because it had become a pilgrimage site for right- wing Jewish settlers.
