*Two women (aged 80 and 86) were stabbed in the back as they walked in the Armon Promenade in a forested area of the Armon Hanatziv neighborhood of Jerusalem. The 80-year-old woman is in “serious life-threatening” condition at Shaare Zedek Medical Center; the 86-year-old woman is in “moderate” condition.  The two women were walking with three other senior citizens when they were assaulted by masked terrorists. A manhunt for the terrorists continues.

*Numerous “rock” attacks on IDF soldiers and Border Guards have occurred at such places as Beit El, Rachel’s Tomb, and the Hevron Pharmacy checkpoint. Other attacks have targeted civilian motorists at Makel and Turmusayya. Yet another attack took place at Shuafat against passengers on the Jerusalem Light Rail train system.

…Palestinian terrorism yesterday…

At 11:00 pm last night, a policeman was stabbed in Jerusalem. The policeman, an Israeli-Arab, is in moderate condition.

The Mt. of Olives, Aro’er, Efrat, Yitzhar, Tapuach Junction, Abu Dis, Umm Salmona, Shuafat, Hawara, Kiryat Arba, Hevron: eastern Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria were the scenes of assaults (an attempted stabbing, Molotovs, and “rocks”) on Israeli men, women, and children.

…BDS leader Omar Barghouti runs into trouble…

Omar Barghouti: the man behind the global BDS corporation.

Omar Barghouti: the man behind the global BDS operation.

As you may or may not know, the man who heads the worldwide Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions movement is a resident of Israel–living with his family in Akko (Acre). As a permanent resident of Israel, Barghouti reaps all the benefits of that status.

Of course, Barzhouti calls himself a “Palestinian”, and he makes a fortune by traveling the world degrading Israel and urging everyone to terminate relations with this country. He has been very successful in disseminating a fraudulent canard of Israeli “apartheid” (a malicious narrative belied by his own experience).

Finally, it appears that the Israeli government has decided to take action.

It was announced by Barghouti today that Israel has refused to renew his passport travel document.  True to disingenuous form, Barghouti crowed: “I am unnerved but certainly undeterred by these threats. Nothing will stop me from struggling for my people’s freedom, justice and peace.”

Struggling for his people’s freedom, justice, and peace or struggling for his hundreds of thousands of dollars in speaking fees?

After all, BDS is nothing if not a huge money-making corporate endeavor.

TODAY’S BLOG:

Yahrzeit (Memorial) candles alight in memory of the fallen.

Yahrzeit (Memorial) candles alight in memory of the fallen.

Yom Hazikaron begins in approximately one hour (at sundown). It is a memorial holiday dedicated to fallen soldiers and civilian victims of terrorism. At 8:00 pm a one-minute siren will sound throughout the country. Afterwards, there will be ceremonies all over Israel tonight and tomorrow to remember those who died.

23,447 have been killed since the first Zionists arrived in Israel (1860).

68 were killed last year.

59 soldiers who were wounded in wars and military operations died this past year from their wounds.

There are now 16,307 bereaved families in Israel which includes 9,442 bereaved parents whose child or children were killed; 4,917 widows whose husbands were killed; and 1,948 orphans whose parents were killed.

Israelstreet salutes those who made the ultimate sacrifice–and the families they left behind. 

May the memories of the fallen be forever blessed.
