The News on the Israeli Street
The daily Palestinian terror update . . .
Palestinian terrorists using Molotovs and “rocks” attacked Israelis on the Gush Etzion-Hevron road near the Ofakim Junction, Sinjil, between Kochav Hashahar and Baal Hatzor, beside the Avraham Hasmo Junction, Al-Fawwar, the Hevron Mountains, between Adam and Hizma, on Road 446 (Israeli wounded), Luban A-Sharqiya, and at numerous other locations.
Palestinian terrorists using Molotovs and “rocks” attacked Israeli buses at the Ma’ale Levona Junction, near Al-Aruv in Gush Etzion, and south of the T-Junction in Binyamin.
The daily Corona (Covid-19) update . . .
Please note that these numbers encompass from 8 pm yesterday until 8 pm today (Thursday):
672,324 Israelis have been confirmed with the virus since the pandemic began last March.
There are 7,673 newly confirmed cases.
1,120 are in critical condition—an increase of 35
331 of the most critically ill are on ventilators—an increase of 27
4,975 have died–an increase of 85
There are currently 77,732 active Corona cases in Israel.
3.3 million have now been vaccinated.
All of the disease-related numbers today are bad. Worst is the fact that 88 people died yesterday; today, we will surpass 5,000 dead.
The new fines . . .
Obviously, nothing seems to be stemming the tide of Corona, so once again the government is idiotically resorting to monetary fines to keep people from socially interacting. We say “idiotically” because such fines have already proven useless.
Here is the new list:
Operating a prohibited business
If the business has an area of 100 sq meters or less: 5,000 shekels
If the business has an area of between 100-500 sq meters: 7,000 shekels
More severe cases may require extended treatments. levitra no prescription cheap viagra usa Cheap Kamagra items are presented available to be fertilized.

If the business has an area more than 500 sq meters: 10,000 shekels
Holding a prohibited event such as a concert
If the event is in an open area: 5,000 shekels
If the event is in a closed area: 10,000 shekels
Holding prohibited educational classes
If 1-35 students are attending: 5,000 shekels
If more than 35 students are attending: 10,000 shekels
None of these new fines will have any effect whatsoever. Just take concerts for example: if you are charging 300 shekels a ticket for an event, you can easily cover the cost of the fine.
Stigmatized . . .
If you can believe this, IDF soldiers belonging to Division 80 are being forced to wear “glow vests” if they refuse to get vaccinated.
Interior Minister Ariyeh Deri suggested at a cabinet meeting today that a database should be created of all those who have not been vaccinated, and then local authorities should go door to door to force them to.
Some apparently good Guinea pig nation Corona stats . . .
According to a new study out today, out of 4,081 medical staff members who received the first dose of vaccine, only 22 fell ill with Corona between 1-10 days after receiving the vaccine.
According to another study–this one by the Maccabi Health Fund, out of 416,900 who have received two doses of the vaccine, “only” 254 got Corona–and all of these have had a mild form (4 were hospitalized).
TODAY’S BLOG:
A United Front On Iran
Today, Biden’s national security advisor, Jake Sullivan will announce that the U.S. will no longer support proactive military operations against the Iranian proxy Houthis in Yemen.
In short, he is pulling the rug out from under the Saudis and providing cover for the Iranians.
Is anyone surprised?
Even more, Sullivan said yesterday that the U.S. is talking with France, Germany, and the United Kingdom to create a united front on the Iran.
In case anyone has forgotten, France, Germany, the U.K., and the U.S. were the basic countries that created the Iranian Nuclear Weapons Appeasement Agreement in the first place.
These countries will definitely be united–united in support of making concessions to Iran.
