***Beginning at 7 am this morning with an attack at Kiryat Arba, let’s take a look at a few of the Palestinian terror attacks today:

Kiryat Arba (“rocks”),  Atarot (“rocks”), Abu Dis (“rocks”), Makel (Molotovs), Sinjil (Molotovs), Beit Jala (Molotovs), Betar Illit (fire), Hussan bypass (“rocks”), Psagot Benjamin (“rocks”), Kiryat Arba (ball bearings), Migron (“rocks”), Kiryat Arba (fire), Al-Be’er (“rocks”), Atil (“rocks”), Bet Awa (“rocks”), Kiryat Arba (“rocks”), Gush Etzion (“rocks”), Mt. Hebron (“rocks”), Bethany (“rocks”), Shuafat (“rocks”), Beit Anun (“rocks”), Elias (“rocks”), Neve Tzuf (“rocks”), highway northwest of Ramallah (“rocks”), Turmus (“rocks), Road 443 (Molotovs).

***Israel is abuzz today about comments made by former U.S. Ambassador to Israel Martin Indyk in an interview for Frontline, a program on the American public television channel PBS.

In that interview, Indyk excoriates Netanyahu at every chance, but nowhere more so than when he describes how Netanyahu had a poor opinion of Yitzhak Rabin:

“Netanyahu sat next to me when I was ambassador in Israel at the time of Rabin’s funeral. … I remember Netanyahu saying to me: “Look, look at this. He’s a hero now, but if he had not been assassinated, I would have beaten him in the elections, and then he would have gone into history as a failed politician.”

This afternoon, Netanyahu’s office denied that Netanyahu ever made such statements about Rabin.

And unfortunately for Indyk, there were hundreds of photographers at Rabin’s funeral, and this picture quickly emerged this morning:

By late this afternoon, Indyk backpedaled a bit and claimed that he didn’t mean at the funeral itself, but at a ceremony at the Knesset that took place when Rabin’s body was brought there.

***In yet another testament to the incompetence of the Israel police, Nashat Melhem, the murderer of the two Israelis at the pub in Tel Aviv five days ago, remains at large.

Tardy in response to the original attack and tardy in pursuit, the police are now focusing on an investigation that has now devolved into arresting–and then releasing Melhem’s relatives (brother, father, mother).

Now, police believe that Melhem has escaped to northern Israel, but who knows?

Certainly not the police.  

***Israelis were thrilled today to find that Netflix is finally available in the country.

Actually, Israel is one of 130 new countries in which Netflix is available–including such locations at India, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Russia, and Vietnam.

The cost in Israel will be 31 shekels per month ($8) for SD and 40 shekels ($11) for HD reception.

So far so good.

Unfortunately, however, the site to which Israelis are directed is only available in English and Arabic. What is more, the movies which are streamed to Israel will not have Hebrew subtitles available–nor are there any plans to add Hebrew in the future.

All of which seems odd.

Especially given the ease with which such Hebrew can be readily available these days through such free translations services as Google Translate.

Nevertheless, access to Netflix is welcomed by Israelis; now if we can just get Hulu!
