Yom Shishee

13 Tevet 5782
December 17 2021
It is a sad day here in Israel as another bright shining light has been taken from us:
Yehuda Dementman 1996-2021. Murdered last night.
The Video and Photo of the Morning
Yehuda Dimentman was buried this morning in Chumash at 9:00 am. Hundreds came from all over Samaria to his funeral, but the police unbelievably blocked buses from arriving at the funeral site. Click here to see some of those hundreds walking in the rain to the funeral. A photo from the funeral tent:

Two Telltale Quotes of the Day
“We strongly condemn the terrorist attack in the West Bank, in which an Israeli citizen was killed and two others were injured.”
Ned Price, U.S. State Department spokesman
What a joke. Starting with calling the area “the West Bank” and then euphemistically terming the wounded “injured”, the Biden State Department has done nothing in Israel since the beginning of Biden’s presidency except to undermine Jewish community members like Yehuda Dimentman and to support the PLO.
“Stop doing politics. If you have nothing to say, do not speak. Our most difficult problem is not our enemies.”
Shouted by the mourners at Knesset Member Nir Barkat as he attempted to speak at the funeral this morning.
How true. Every funeral in Judea and Samaria always features an Israeli politician who talks but does nothing. The main problem for Jewish community members is the lack of support from our own government.
The News on the Israeli Street
Corona updates . . .
Apparently as a result of his failure to get more Israelis vaccinated–especially Israeli children between 5-11, and the failure to get mall owners to enforce new entrance restrictions, PM Bennett has jumped off the deep end this morning.
Ignoring the fact that the 100+ Israelis who have the Omicron variant are feeling virtually no ill effects at all and none have been hospitalized, Bennett is pushing to close down Israel. More specifically, he is urging the Health Ministry to declare the entire world “red” and to completely halt all flights in and out of Ben Gurion Airport.
In particular, it appears that the U.S. will be declared “red” on Sunday, unless the government comes to its senses before then. But, pardon the cynicism, no one has ever accused this government of being sane or sensible.
Palestinian terror in the last 24 hours . . .
The last day has seen an outburst of Palestinian terror undoubtedly brought about by the items we point out in Today’s Blog below:

Palestinian terrorists attacked Israeli motorists with “rocks” and Molotovs at Hizma, the the road between the Gush Etzion Junction and the Al-Khader checkpoint, between Yitzhar and Havat Gilad, south of the Ma’ale Amos Junction, Singil, and Beit El as well as at numerous other locations.
Palestinian terrorists attempted to burn down the security fences at Neve Tzuf and Givon.
Two knife-armed Palestinian terrorists were captured by the IDF as they crossed the Gaza border fence. One wonders how they got across the “impregnable” fence that was supposed to protect southern Israelis from such incursions.
TODAY’S BLOG:
What Led To His Murder Last Night?
Yehuda Dimentman, a 25-year-old married father with an 11-month-old child, was shot to death in his car as he drove toward the rear entrance to Shavei Shomron last night. Two other passengers in the car were wounded.
Two Palestinian terrorists were spotted fleeing the scene.
It was a murder that should have never happened, yet was totally predictable.
Four “actions” in the last month led directly to Yehuda’s murder:
1. The Israeli government cravenly notified the E.U. that Area C of Judea and Samaria is not part of “Israel” proper.
2. A procession of leftist government officials declared that no money would be forthcoming in the new budget for any infrastructure projects in Judea and Samaria, and that there will be no new construction in Area C.
3. The IDF absurdly ordered its soldiers not to fire on terrorists who are throwing “rocks” and Molotovs, and not to “ambush” any of them.
4. Omer Bar Lev, Israel’s Minister of Internal Security, declared that the real problem in Judea and Samaria are Jewish extremists who perpetrate violence. Bar-Lev and Defense Minister Benny Gantz even agreed to convert 1500 IDF soldiers into police so that they can tackle the “Jewish extremism problem.”
What is the result of these actions?
Simple.
Palestinians see that even the Israeli government looks at Area C of Judea and Samaria as of secondary importance, if that.
Palestinian terrorists know that they can attack Israelis with impunity.
Palestinian terrorists know that Israeli security resources are now being primarily directed against Jews in Judea and Samaria.
And so, Yehuda Dimentman lies in a grave this morning; his wife is without a husband; his child is without a father. How long will it be until the next murder?
