The News on the Israeli Street
Palestinian terror in the last 24 hours . . .
In Judea and Samaria:
What do you think you are looking at?
Regular readers of this blog know what this is because they have seen it so many times before. It is a “rock” thrown by a Palestinian terrorist which is embedded in the front windshield of the car the terrorist targeted. This particular attack occurred on Road 55 west of Azzun; numerous other assaults took place elsewhere.
By the way, not only was the front windshield of the car in the above photo hit, the glass behind the back seats was also shattered as were the other four windows in the car.
And still the driver was able to get his family to safety.
This is what our brave citizens in Judea and Samaria face everyday as Palestinian terrorists lurk around every turn ready to try to kill them.
On the Gaza border:
After a weekend full of terror from the Hamas Palestinian state of Gaza that included at least 8 missiles fired at Sderot, 6 fires started by explosive “balloons”, and an attempted infiltration by another heavily armed Hamas squad, a senior Israeli official chirped this morning:
“Hamas is trying to keep the peace.”

What word can we use for such nonsense? Flabbergasting? Dumbfounding? Incomprehensible? Ludicrous?
Whichever word you choose, the statement merely serves to underscore what we have been writing for years. Hamas has become the “good guy” in the eyes of the Netanyahu government and the IDF General Staff, and they will do anything to promote Hamas as a “peacemaker.”
Israelis pay the price again . . .
If you can believe this, Israel has agreed to sell natural gas from its new gas fields off-shore in the Mediterranean to the Jordanians for a lower cost than that paid by Israelis.
Yes, you read that correctly.
Jordanians will pay $5.65 per unit of heat while Israelis will pay $6.3 dollars. How can we afford to have the Jordanians pay less? By forcing we Israeli consumers to pay more.
Weren’t the offshore wells supposed to be a godsend to Israelis who are overburdened with utility bills?
But what’s new? We pay more for electricity because the Palestinians in Judea and Samaria pay nothing. We pay more for sewage treatment because the Palestinians in Gaza refuse to pay an agorot. Why shouldn’t we pay more for natural gas to bail out the “poor” Jordanians?

The Difference Between Palestinians and Israelis
It was just a week and a half ago on August 7 that Dvir Sorek, a few days short of his 19th birthday, was stabbed to death as he walked near the entrance to Efrat. The Palestinians who tracked him stabbed him repeatedly and gruesomely over his entire body. When they were finished, they dumped his body in a weed and boulder-strewn field beside the road.
Last night, a car carrying a Palestinian screeched to a halt at the same entrance to Efrat. Inside was a 55 year-old man who was in full cardiac arrest.
Why was he brought there?
Because the Palestinians in the area know that such locations often have Israeli medics and security guards. They know from past experience that such medics and security guards will do everything in their power to save a life.
And so they did last night. The security guard performed CPR and the medic went into action. The Palestinian was saved. You can watch the video here.
What is the difference between Israelis and Palestinians?
Israelis will fight to save every life whether it is an earthquake victim in Nepal, a tsunami victim in Indonesia, or a Palestinian who has suffered a heart attack in Judea and Samaria. Palestinians on the other hand (with few exceptions) luxuriate in death. They not only want to kill every Jew that they see, they want to barbarically slaughter men, women, and children (can we ever forget the decapitated Fogel infant at Itamar?).
Isn’t it amazing that after the more than half century of terror perpetrated against us, we still want to save our enemies?
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.
