The News on the Israeli Street

Palestinian terror in Judea and Samaria . . .

We report here at OneIsrael about “rock” and Molotov attacks on Israeli families almost everyday. Yesterday was no different with attacks at Al Aruv, Psagot, Beit Ummar, Neve Tzuf, Shilo, Hevron, the Tunnel Road into southern Jerusalem, Jib, and a host of other places such as Al-Fawwar.

We should always remember that these attacks are designed to kill Israelis. The attack mentioned above that took place in Al-Fawwar yesterday almost succeeded:

From this angle, it’s not so easy to see how the “rock” that hit the passenger side window could have so badly wounded the person sitting in the seat.

But from this angle, it is much easier to understand:

Note the small dark red patch in the middle of the shattered glass.

The person in this seat was sliced badly by the glass–and hit in the head by the “rock”. She is currently in critical condition at Sha’are Zedek Hospital.

On the Gaza border . . .

Daily attacks against our soldiers at the border fence and daily fire-starting “balloons” launched into southern communities continue to be the order of the day.

At the moment, the leaders of Hamas and Islamic Jihad are in Cairo where a long-term “ceasefire” is supposedly being worked out. Of course, this is all a farce. The two terrorist organizations have entered into dozens of these agreements before only to break them at a moment’s notice.

Netanyahu flies to Lisbon . . .

In the midst of all the supposed attempts to form a government and avoid another election, PM Netanyahu flew to Portugal and is meeting today with U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo.

According to the Prime Minister’s office, the two subjects for discussion are Iran and annexation of the Jordan Valley.

By the way, the Jordanians announced yesterday that if the Jordan Valley is annexed, then its treaty with Israel will be thrown in the garbage.

Of course the Jordanians already behave as if there is no peace treaty with Israel.

Speaking of forming a government . . .

Avigdor Lieberman has been true to form this morning. A day after leaving the door open to forming a “narrow right wing government”, he declared that “under no circumstances” will he do so.

Which basically leaves us at Election number 3 in late February or mid March.

Ten Great Numbers!

The numbers speak for themselves: 

*In the three years since President Trump has been in office, the average number of residences approved for construction per year in Judea and Samaria has been 6,899–double what it was during the last three years of Obama’s administration.

*The average salary of Israelis has increased to 10,856 shekels per month ($3,120) an increase in 4.6% over last year according to data from the Central Bureau of Statistics.

*Israel’s Finance Ministry has just approved the transfer of 200,000,000 shekels ($58 million dollars) to the Innovation Department to assist Israeli start-ups.

*Life expectancy in Israel has increased to 82.6 years overall. The highest rate of longevity is 87.6 years in Modi’in Illit.

*154-72: that was the vote in the French National Assembly two days ago to brand “Anti-Zionism” as “Anti-Semitism.” Yesterday, Portugal followed suit.

*8 of the top 50 eateries in the world as chosen by the “World’s 50 Best Discovery” website are in Israel. Think about that–16% of the best restaurants and bars are right here.

*PJ34 is the name of the molecule discovered by Tel Aviv University researchers that has brought about a 90% reduction in pancreatic cancer cells–in animals. Human trials will begin soon.

*October 28 2019 was the date that Border Police officers raided a house in Jebel Mukaber in Jerusalem and foiled a plot by 2 terrorists to carry out massacres at Safra Square and the Sultan’s Pool in Jerusalem. This information has been kept secret until today.

*More than 45,000 Jews surged into Hevron last week for the annual Hevron Shabbat (Chayei Sarah).

*4 Israeli films have garnered international awards in the last week: Golden Voices for best screenplay (film festival in Tallinn), Africa for best director (Singapore), Incitement for feature film (Los Angeles), and Picture of His Life for documentary (Los Angeles). Golden Voices is about two Russian “voice actors” who have trouble finding a job in Israel; Africa tells the story of a retired engineer who tries to find meaning in his life; Incitement is the story of Yigal Amir, and Picture of His Life is about a brave nature photographer.
