Last update - 20:31 15/03/2008 Shin Bet: No evidence of far-right plot to avenge J'lem yeshiva massacre By Haaretz Service Tags: Shin Bet, Israel  The Shin Bet security service said Saturday evening that it has found no evidence of a far-right plot to avenge last week's terror attack at a Jerusalem yeshiva that left eight students dead. "After a comprehensive and thorough examination, no evidence was found of preparations by right-wing activists who wish to avenge the murder at the Mercaz Harav yeshiva," the Shin Bet said in a statement. The Shin Bet carried out the examination following a Channel 1 television report Tuesday that three yeshiva alumni met at the school with two rabbis to discuss whether Jewish law would permit a revenge attack. Advertisement On Wednesday, a group of rightist rabbis called on Jews to avenge their enemies 'measure for measure.' In notices posted along Jerusalem's Kiryat Moshe neighborhood, near the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva, the rabbis wrote: "Each and every one [of us] is required to imagine what the enemy is plotting to do to us, and to match it measure for measure. The rabbis' announcement calls on Jews "to work to create a proper Jewish leadership," and envisions the day when "Jews will congregate in their cities... and strike those who wish upon them ill," - in reference to a verse from the Book of Esther, which will be read next week on the Purim holiday.
