Amona: the expulsion aftermath . . .
There’s not much left to say though the protests go on in such places as Efrat where police cars have been attacked this morning by Amona supporters. In the end, the government spent 220 million shekels to expel the community which is ironic in that the government only offered the Amona residents 40 million shekels to evacuate the community in the first place.
The video and pictures from the expulsion will not soon be forgotten by Israelis. And while the leftist media is intent on portraying the Amona residents and supporters as hooligans, the heart of the Israeli public remains in Amona.
Palestinian terror continues to surge . . .
What effect do you think the handing over of Amona to the Palestinians had on the Palestinians?
Of course it has emboldened terrorists to increase their attacks on Israelis. One of the worst of the attacks occurred yesterday when terrorists assaulted a bus near Tekoa:
Note the two holes in the roof of the bus.
We often think of “rocks” breaking windows and windshields, but as you can see from the above picture, terrorists also drop “rocks” (aka concrete blocks) on the roofs of buses.
As you note on the breaking news ticker at the top of the page, a bulldozer attack has taken place at Adam, north of Jerusalem.

The Syrian War Rages on Israel’s Border
What does “the Syrian War” mean anymore? For one thing, the phrase does not refer only to Syrian rebel groups fighting against Syrian, Iranian, and Hezbollah forces supporting Assad.
It also refers to other strife going on in various locations. Some of the most intense fighting is occurring right on the Israeli border–and threatens to spill over at any minute into Israel.
Take a close look at the above map which is taken from an Arabic news source. As noted, the black area in the middle of the map that runs along the Israeli border to the west and the Jordanian border to the south is controlled by Islamic State. The green areas are held by Syrian rebels.
For the last week (note the date on the map), Islamic State and the Syrian rebels have been attempting to take over land held by the other, and hundreds of soldiers have apparently died on both sides. Neither side however has made any headway.
The irony of the situation is that both sides are committed to eradicating Israel and overthrowing Assad but are too busy killing each other to focus on either of those objectives.
And that’s a good thing insofar as Israel is concerned.
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.
