Baruch Goldstein Biography

Baruch Goldstein is one of the most popular and richest Physician who was born on December 9, 1956 in Brooklyn, New York, United States.

Baruch Kopel Goldstein (Hebrew: ברוך קופל גולדשטיין ; born Benjamin Goldstein; December 9, 1956 – February 25, 1994) was an American-Israeli physician, religious extremist, and mass murderer who perpetrated the 1994 Cave of the Patriarchs massacre in Hebron, killing 29 and wounding 125 Palestinian Muslim worshippers. He was beaten to death by survivors of the massacre.

Goldstein immigrated to Israel in 1983. He served as a physician in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), first as a conscript, then in the reserve forces. Following the end of his active duty, Goldstein worked as a physician, and lived in the Israeli settlement of Kiryat Arba near Hebron, where he worked as an emergency doctor, and was involved in treating victims of Arab-Israeli violence. He changed his name from Benjamin to Baruch, married a Soviet immigrant named Miriam, and had four children. Israeli press reports claimed that Goldstein refused to treat Arabs, even Arab soldiers serving in the IDF, believing it was against Jewish laws to treat non-Jews even for payment. This was also reflected in comments by his acquaintances. Goldstein was active in Kahane’s Kach party, and was third on the party list for the Knesset during the 1984 elections. He compared Israel’s democracy to Germany under Nazism, and was in the habit of wearing a yellow star with the word Jude on it.
