The News on the Israeli Street

Wonderful news on decreasing Palestinian terror . . .

Here is a list of Samarian bypass roads that will soon be built (think about the above list of terror attacks yesterday as you read these):

4. a Shikua-Qalandiya Bypass Road near Adam Junction
In addition to these roads, work will begin on improving road lighting, cellular reception, and bus protection on existing roads.

Some more good news . . .
The U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee unanimously approved the Taylor Force Act yesterday there by sending the measure to the full House for a vote in the coming weeks. Named for the U.S. Army veteran who was brutally stabbed to death in Yaffo last year (March 8, 2016).
The new law will supposedly limit the amount of money the PLO receives from the U.S. as long as the PLO pays “salaries” to terrorists in prison. Mahmoud Abbas has already announced that those salaries will never be reduced, and because the Act has numerous “humanitarian exclusions” built into it, you can be sure that the PLO will disguise salaries to terrorists as “hospital beds” and “new elementary schools.”
Nevertheless, the law is a step in the right direction.
Bad economic news for Israel from Egypt . . .
The Egyptians announced yesterday that they will no longer import liquid gas from Israel during the coming year as more Egyptian gas reserves come online.
This means that Israel will have to scramble to find more buyers, a prospect which does not look promising at the moment.
The announcement has severe budgetary consequences for Israel because current spending has been based on the sale of gas.
TODAY’S BLOG
“I knew that here we would be helped and feel safe.”
It is one of those stories that you will never read about in the international press and will probably never see in the mainline Israeli media–both of which delight in disseminating false stories about what happens at Israeli checkpoints.
Yesterday, Border Police saw a mother with three children approaching the Qalandiya checkpoint. They were in obvious distress. The weather has become colder here, and none of the four were wearing warm clothes, and the children were wearing slippers and sandals.
The Police asked the woman if she wanted to bring her children into the police station, and she readily agreed saying: “I knew that here we would be helped and feel safe.”
Let me repeat that.
A Palestinian woman from Qalandiya told the Israel Border Police: “I knew that here we would be helped and feel safe.”
This comment was made to the same Border Police so often falsely portrayed by the media as inhuman monsters who brutalize the “poor Palestinians” at the checkpoints.
Ask yourself: how could the Palestinian woman have known that she would be helped and feel safe at the Israeli checkpoint?
Could it be because she had seen or knew of other people who had been helped?
In any case, the Police gave the family warm food, something warm to drink, and warm clothes and shoes. You might wonder where the police got the clothes and shoes. The police took up a collection among themselves and bought the clothes and shoes from a stand near the checkpoint.
In the process of having her family clothed, the sobbing mother revealed that her husband has been abusing her and her children, and she said that this moment was the first time she had felt safe and seen a smile on her children’s faces.
The police then gave the children bags of sweets and more drinks and passed them through the checkpoint. The mother thanked them again and was on her way.
A Border Policeman summed up the event like this: “in addition to our duty to maintain security and public order, we see a great duty to help even a small family whose distress we have identified.”
Remember this incident, dear reader, the next time you read or hear a false report of how Israelis mistreat Palestinians at checkpoints.
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.
