Palestinian terrorism so far today:
A major Palestinian terror attack was averted in Beit Shemesh an hour ago (7:57 am) . Two Palestinian terrorists were shot and killed after stabbing a Jewish man who was leaving a synagogue and boarding a bus. They were shot by a policeman as they tried to break into the bus which was mainly carrying children. The Israeli who was stabbed is in “moderate” condition.
The two terrorists killed an hour ago in Bet Shemesh (photo: walla).
Wednesday was another horrific day of Palestinian terrorism. Here were some of the worst attacks:
An Israeli bus passenger was wounded in the Negev last night (11:02 pm) when a “rock” thrown by a Palestinian terrorist crashed through the window of the bus.
At least three Israelis had to be treated for trauma after being shot at near Bani Na’im (10:30 pm).
IDF soldiers and MADA personnel were wounded when rioting Palestinians assaulted them with “rocks” and Molotovs at Beit Ummar (8:40 pm).
Four IDF soldiers were wounded–1 critically–in a combined “rock”/”bulldozer attack in Samaria (8:34 pm). The soldiers’ jeep was hit by “rocks”; when the soldiers got out of their jeep they were run over by a Palestinian terrorist. The terrorist was shot and killed.
IDF soldiers came under fire at Beit El in the Binyamin region (8:10 pm). The terrorists escaped.
A major terror attack was thwarted at Ma’ale Adumim (7:30 pm) when two Palestinian terrorists were captured with an explosives-laden car (a car bomb).
Israeli children, women, and men were sent running to their bomb shelters (6:52 pm) when a missile fired by Palestinian terrorists in Gaza targeted the Sha’ar Hanegev region. By the way, remember how PM Netanyahu ludicrously crowed two days ago that the situation on the Gaza border was “under control.”
An IDF soldier (female) was stabbed in the neck and torso by two Palestinian terrorists at KiKar Adam (2:55 pm). She remains in critical condition this morning. One of the terrorists was shot and killed by another IDF soldier (female), the other terrorist was captured by other soldiers.
An Israeli was run over in a “bulldozer” attack at an intersection in Benjamin (11:15). The Israeli was “moderately wounded”; the terrorist was killed.
The Israeli community of Yitzhar was the target of an attempted infiltration and attack. The Palestinian terrorist, who was armed with knives, was shot, but she was not killed.
In addition:
Palestinian terrorists threw “rocks” at Israelis at Tel Sheva, Beit Ummar, Husan, Samoa, El Moaair, Gush Etzion, Efrat, and at Beit Romano in Hebron.
Palestinian terrorists threw Molotovs at IDF soldiers at Hebron, at a bus near Kfar Kassem, at a bus near Halhul (see picture below), at IDF soldiers in Hebron, and at motorists at Givat Assaf.
The bus aflame last night.
Palestinian terrorists set fires near Beit Haggai and Sussiya.
Palestinians rioted at Azaria, Anata, Bethany, Genia, Beit Anun, Bethelem, Hebron, Hebron Hills, and at the Mt. of Olives.
TODAY’S BLOG:
Stop for a few minutes this morning and take stock of three egregiously atrocious events that happened yesterday.
First, at the United Nations, UNESCO passed a proposal harshly castigating Israel and declaring that the Jewish Cave of the Patriarchs (and Matriarchs) which is the burial place of the mothers and fathers of Judaism: Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca, Jacob and Leah–is “Muslim.”
For good measure, UNESCO also declared that the Tomb of Rachel–the other matriarch of the Jewish people–which is located just outside of Bethlehem is also Muslim.
Jews worshiping at Rachel’s Tomb–now classified by UNESCO as a Muslim religious site.
Never mind that the Cave is the second holiest place in Judaism (after the Temple Mount), and that the Cave and Rachel’s Tomb were venerated by Jews for more than 2000 years before there was any “Muslim”—the Cave and the Tomb are now “Muslim” according to UNESCO.
Where is the international outrage?
Nowhere to be seen or heard.
Second, at the world windsurfing championships in Oman, Israeli windsurfer Maayan Davidovich was finally allowed to come into the country to compete. However, to do so, she agreed to use an Austrian passport and to remove the Israeli flag from her windsail (which she disgustingly agreed to do). Every other country’s competitor proudly had the flag of her country on her windsail, but there was no Israeli flag.
Note the windsail in front with a blank white space where the Israeli flag should have been. It belonged to Israeli windsurfer Maayan Davidovich. Also note the sail behind–clearly it belongs to an Italian windsurfer who is proudly displaying the Italian flag..
Never mind that this was supposed to be a world championship, Israel was excluded.
Where is the international outcry?
Nowhere to be seen or heard.
Finally, Haneen Zoabi, the Israeli-Arab legislator in the Israel Knesset who fights a neverending battle to delegitimize Israel, has been invited to Amsterdam to be the main speaker at a ceremony next month commemorating Kristallnacht. She will undoubtedly use the occasion of a Holocaust memorial service to talk about how Israel should not exist.
An anti-Israel speaker for Kristallnacht? A speaker for Kristallnacht that would like to see a judenrein “Palestine”?
Again, where is the international outrage?
Nowhere to be heard or seen.

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.
