UPDATES (9:00 am) and TODAY’S BLOG
***Barbaric Palestinian terror attacks continue . . .
The back seat of the van that the Lipkin family was riding in. Note the bouquet of Shabbat flowers on the floorboard. May Jacob Litman and his son Natanel rest in peace.
A large scale manhunt has been taking place overnight and is continuing this morning in the Hebron area for the terrorists who murdered and wounded members of the Jacob Litman family yesterday.
What exactly happened?
1. The Litman family was traveling near Otniel on their way home to Kiryat Arba beside Hebron to celebrate Shabbat. The family included the father, Jacob Litman (who was driving), his wife, two sons and three daughters. Apparently the father and his 18 year-old-son Natanel were in the front seat.
2. Palestinian terrorist(s) pushed the car off the road, got out and opened fire on Jacob, killing him. Natanel attempted to call for help on his cell phone; the terrorists killed him. They then also opened fire on the back seat wounding the other son.
3. The terrorists then fled the scene.
4. The first responder on the scene was a Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance. When the ambulance driver saw who had been attacked, he refused to stop and offer medical assistance and drove on.
5. Since the attack, the IDF has been searching nearby Palestinian settlements. Arrests have been made in Hebron, but it is not known if the arrests are connected to the terror.
Outrageously, our so-called “Defense” Minister came out last night and said that the IDF troops in the Hebron area will be doubled in number. Given all of the violence that has occurred in recent months, why haven’t they been doubled before now?
Outrageously, this is another attack that may be a direct result of the removal of checkpoints around Hebron. Why in the world were those checkpoints ever removed?
Outrageously, this attack shows more than the immediate barbarity of the terrorists. What about the barbarity of the Red Crescent, and the barbarity of Mahmoud Abbas who, at least initially, refused to condemn the attack?
***By the way, the attack on the Litmans was not the only Palestinian terrorism yesterday.
There was another attempted stabbing; an incident in which a terrorist tried to take a soldier’s gun; and more than 30 “rock” and Molotov attacks.
***The events in Paris . . .
Your humble servant, along with much of the rest of the world, has been watching the unfolding events in Paris. In my own case, I have been scanning back and forth between CNN News, France 24, and Sky News. What has been striking about the coverage has been the absolute inability of any of the politically correct commentators to use the word “terrorism” let alone the words “Muslim terrorism.”
CNN is focused on the word “criminal”. When a security pundit was interviewed on France 24 and mentioned that the attackers might have come from Syria, Yemen, or Iraq, he was immediately chastised by the announcer who absurdly intoned that “we can’t know who did committed the attacks until a claim of responsibility has been made.”
On the other hand, the survivors of the massacre in the concert hall have reported that the gunmen all shouted “Allahu Akbar” before they started shooting and while they were shooting.
