In Judea and Samaria:

Deir Abu Mash’al, Tekoa, Hawara, Kfar Janya, Giv’on, Hizma, just outside of Hevron, and at various places along Road 443 were just a few of the places where Palestinian terrorists attacked Israeli men, women, and children with “rocks” and Molotovs.

The reports of these and other attacks come from residents on the ground as reported to rotter, hamal, hakolhayehudi, Rescue without Borders, and Rescue 443.

The ongoing battle at Yitzhar . . .

One would have thought that Bin Laden, Baghdadi, or some other terrorist was hiding at Yitzhar for the last two days. The entire area has been surrounded by dozens of police officers and numerous police vehicles as a house to house search has been carried out.

Yesterday, the police finally captured . . . Neria Zerog.

Neria Zerog? 

Never heard of him right? Well, Zerog is a leader of the Hilltop Youth. And we all know that the Israel Security Services is obsessed with these hard-core Jewish community members.

Why were they after Zerog? Because the commander of COGAT had issued an order two months ago that Zerog be barred from entering Samaria and thereby separated from his wife and two small children.

Zerog refused to obey the order.

And so it finally came down the events of today.

Except that when the police finally found Zerog, they discovered he had chained himself to a steel fixture. Whereupon he was beaten up by police forces and finally cut loose and taken out.

Such is the nature of justice for the Hilltop Youth.

Why Does Israel Prop Up King Abdullah Of Jordan?

Bedecked with unearned military medals, King Abdullah preached to the choir in Amman yesterday.

Bedecked with unearned military medals, King Abdullah preached to the choir in Amman yesterday.

As your humble servant predicted on OneIsrael, yesterday was one of pompous non-circumstance in Amman. Dressed like a military peacock, King Abdullah announced to the virulently anti-Israel Jordanian Parliament:

“Today I announce the expiration of the peace treaty annexes of Al Ghamer and Baqoura and the imposition of our full sovereignty over every inch of those lands.”

You can imagine the reaction.

Thunderous applause as if a great military victory had been won and not merely a few hundred acres of farmland ingloriously returned. 

It was the Parliament of the Absurd.

He interrupted his speech to allow Jordanian television to broadcast a live feed from Naharayim which displayed the raising of the Jordanian flag.

The Jordanian flag raised over a hastily constructed tent in the middle of an alfalfa field. Note the picture of Abdullah at the base of the flag.

As absurd as all of this was, PM Netanyahu’s appearance and remarks at a Knesset Conference yesterday were even more absurd.

Just hours after the handover of the land to Jordan, Netanyahu appeared and made some wide-ranging remarks–including this tidbit about Jordan and Abdullah:

“We help King Abdullah in covert and mostly invisible ways. I don’t think it’s worthwhile to elaborate.  We help prevent extremists from taking control of their territory. There are those in Jordan who do this. We have a clear interest in maintaining stability in Jordan.”

To put it a different way, Israel is propping up King Abdullah–the same Abdullah who misses no opportunity to excoriate Israel. 

And why? To supposedly maintain stability in Jordan.

Which is the excuse Abdullah uses for every demand he makes of Israel.

For example, when Abdullah wants to change the status quo on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, all he has to say is that failure to do so will make Jordan unstable.

Or when Abdullah abrogated the lease extension at Naharayim and Tzofar, his excuse was simply that it was necessary to maintain stability in Jordan.

It is all pathetic. Would the situation be worse if “extremists” were in control in Jordan? Extremists already run the Jordanian Parliament–and King Abdullah does nothing except cater to them because at heart he is an extremist as well.
