Quote of the Day

“At the end of the 8th grade, I returned home with blue bruises all over my body from being hit by policemen while I was peacefully sitting in the road in front of the prime minister’s house in Jerusalem protesting against the Oslo Accords . . . Apparently, protesters on the left have a holy right to protest wherever they want. But if you are right-wing, a Jewish community member, or  ultra-orthodox, you only have a right to protest in an olive grove.”

Knesset member Bezalel Smotrich writing this morning on Facebook

(See Today’s Blog below for more about the left-wing “demonstrations” taking place in Israel.)

The News on the Israeli Street

Palestinian terror in the last 24 hours . . .

Palestinian terrorists attacked a bus beside the Palestinian settlement of Deir Istiya in Samaria. The bus driver was hit in the head with a “rock” and badly wounded.

Palestinian terrorists attacked another bus between the Yakir Junction and Emanuel. The bus driver was wounded by shattered glass from the windshield that hit him in the eyes.

Palestinian terrorists using “rocks” and Molotovs struck Israelis between Yitzhar and Havat Gilad, at Luban a-Sharqiya in Binyamin, Karmei Tzur in Gush Etzion, near Nili on Road 446, and near Ofra among other places.

Palestinian violence elsewhere . . .

Gunfire is still raging this morning in the Palestinian settlement of Balata near Shechem (Nablus).

Last night, leading PLO senior member Imad A-Din Dikuyat (54) was shot to death by PLO security forces. Badly wounded in a shoot-out near his house, he died shortly afterward at a nearby hospital.

There has been no report of what caused the initial gunfight, but Palestinian on Palestinian violence is an ongoing phenomenon that never gets any international attention.

The daily Corona update . . .

As of 8 am this morning (Sunday): There are 60,496 confirmed cases—an increase of 1,021 since this time yesterday 

26,917 of these confirmed cases have recovered—an increase of 120

310 are in critical condition—an increase of 7

457 have died–an increase of 9

There are 33,579 active cases, but only 706 of these are hospitalized–with the rest in home quarantine or at a Corona hotel.

*As the number of critically ill patients and the number of dead here in Israel continue to rise, there is strangely enough a silver lining. The mortality rate is significantly dropping. In the first wave, the mortality rate of those diagnosed with Corona was 2.1%. In this second wave in which we now find ourselves the rate is only 0.8%.

*If you can believe this (and why not in this dysfunctional country), the Corona Task Force is actually debating whether or not to allow people to NOT wear a mask because the temperatures are rising this week. Unbelievable.

*It  turns out that the model that the Health Ministry has been using to predict Corona trends has been way off-base in every respect–always dramatically overstating how many people will get the virus, become seriously ill, and die. However, a Prof. Shaefercher at Ichilov Hospital has been exactly right in all of his projections. Now the Health Ministry is apparently going to switch over to the Shaefercher model.

Just another night in Iran . . .

This time Keshem Island, a Revolutionary Guards training area, was rocked by three huge explosions overnight which plunged the entire island into total darkness.

The explosions were so large that residents thought that an earthquake was taking place.

The Leftist Israeli Media Takes To The Streets Against Netanyahu

“Never before have so few demonstrators received so much embrace and media coverage. Headlines, around-the-clock tracking, endless broadcasts, and most of all cheers. Media coverage is of course mandatory; however, disproportion on the part of the media is completely different.” 

Zeev Kam, Israeli journalist Reshet Bet talking about the wall-to-wall television media coverage being given to the anti-Netanyahu demonstrations.

It is true that demonstrations have popped up all over the country from the street in front of the prime minister’s residences in Jerusalem and Caesarea to highway junctions in the north and south. But for the most part the demonstrations have been relatively small by Israeli standards varying from a dozen or so at a traffic stop to around 20,000 in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

But you would never know this watching the gleeful television news reportage which makes it appear that millions have taken to the street. 

What is worse is that the nonstop media adoration of the vitriolic left in these demonstrations is beginning to incite people on the right to go out and confront the “protesters”. Yesterday there were several instances where leftist protesters were engaged by protesters from the right wing La Familia group in Jerusalem and by other groups elsewhere.

Of course nothing could make the media happier than for violence to break out. 

Obviously, what is happening in the media now is merely an extension of the 12-year media campaign to remove Netanyahu from office.
