Palestinian terror in the last 24 hours
“Another day another 30 terrorist attacks.”
Wait a minute, if this sounds like deja vu, it is. Your humble servant wrote exactly the same sentence yesterday.
Tuesday was no different from Monday. IDF soldiers and Border Guards and Police were attacked with “rocks” and Molotovs in Husan, Ein Misbah, Abu Dis, Bab al Huta, Silwan, Al Fawwar, Bethany, Shechem, Ras Al Amud, Ir David, A-Ram, Sinjil, the Tel Rumeida neighborhood of Hevron, Talia, among other places.
Pedestrians and motorists were assaulted with “rocks” and Molotovs in Psagot, the Old City of Jerusalem, Givat Assaf, Moai’ir, Al Fawwar, Ephraim, the Husan bypass road, throughout Gush Etzion, and on Road 443, among other places.
“Among other places” means that there were numerous other places.
Again, no mention was made of any of these attacks in the leftist Israeli media or in the international media.
TODAY’S BLOG:
Jewish Sycophants and the Steve Bannon Canard
Your trivia question of the day:
What do the following Jewish organizations have in common?
J Street, the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, Bend the ARC Jewish Action, the National Council of Jewish Women, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the National Jewish Democratic Committee, IfNotNow, the Jewish Voice for Peace, and Truah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights.
Answer (and I’m sure you got it):
Each one of these organizations has spent the last eight years sycophantically supporting every syllable that has been uttered by the Obama Adminstration–particularly those syllables, words, and sentences that have been used to delegitimize Israel.
As far as that delegitimization is concerned, they all have been happy to see Obama and his minions throw Israel under the bus when it comes to a united Jerusalem (think about how Obama would not even say at Shimon Peres’ funeral that Mt. Herzl was in Jerusalem, Israel and the White House issued a crude statement that Obama was in Jerusalem Israel.) And they have been equally happy to see the Obama Administration spend eight years attacking construction of Jewish homes, hospitals, and schools in Jerusalem and in Judea and Samaria.
Some of these organizations openly support the BDS boycott against Israel while others within their organizations argue that the creation of Israel was a mistake that needs to be corrected.
All in all, they are a pathetic lot.
Oh yes, and they have one more thing in common.
Yesterday, they all came out and denounced the choice of Steve Bannon as President-elect Trump’s senior adviser claiming that Bannon is anti-Semitic. Your humble servant is not going to try to defend Bannon here (he has made some indefensible statements concerning matters unrelated to Jews and Israel) except to say that in some important ways, he has been a friend of Israel.

But I will ask where these groups all were when we learned that a few of Obama’s advisers, such as his spiritual adviser back in Chicago, Reverend Jeremiah “Jesus was a Palestinian” Wright, are overtly anti-Jewish, not to mention anti-Israel.
Nowhere to be seen.
And where are they now that Trump has surrounded himself with fervent supporters of Israel such as Vice President Pence, Newt Gingrich, and Rudy Giulani, not to mention orthodox Jews such as David Friedman, Jason Greenblatt, Trump’s own son-in-law Jared Kushner, and Kushner’s wife Ivanka who just happens to be Trump’s daughter?
Nowhere to be heard.
Because insofar as these motley groups are concerned, their main goal is to destroy Trump by attacking Bannon–and in doing so they could care less about Israel.
A student from Malawi, who had worked with an Israeli health volunteer in his country battling AIDS, came up to us as we walked down the street in the UC-Davis Picnic Day Parade and wanted to carry the Israeli flag.
