The News on the Israeli Street
Palestinian terror in the last 24 hours . . .
The war against Israelis in Judea, Samaria, and the Jordan Valley continues.
Palestinian terrorists using IEDs, Molotovs, and “rocks” attacked Israeli buses on Road 55 near Lakaf in Samaria and on the Hosan Bypass between the Al-Khader Junction and Beitar.
Palestinian terrorists using IEDs, Molotovs, and “rocks” attacked Israeli motorists on the Hevron-Gush Etzion Road near Halhul, between Ariel and the Gitti Junction, at the Taysir Checkpoint in the northern Jordan Valley, at Hawara south of Shechem, at Shavei Shomron, and at a myriad of other locations.
Palestinian terrorists attacked the IDF outpost at Rachel’s Tomb near Bethlehem with IEDs.
Palestinian terrorists opened fire at the back gate of Migdal Oz.
Unimaginable chutzpah . . .
Israel has given the Biden Administration one concession after another over the course of the last year.
And because of all of those concessions, the Bidenites now feel that they dictate anything they want to PM Lapid, “Defense” Minister Gantz, and friends.
What they want now is for the IDF to remove the Netzah Yehuda Battalion from Judea and Samaria. This elite group of ultra-orthodox soldiers has been on the frontlines of fighting Palestinian terrorism for the past two years.
Can you imagine the gall?
Biden and his State Department now think that they can dictate everything to Israel--even to the point of specifying IDF troop locations in Israel.
Just unbelievable.
TODAY’S BLOG
Utter Insanity
Try to wrap your mind about this latest piece of news dear reader.
As you know, we are in the midst of an unceasing and increasing surge of terror in Judea and Samaria.
Senior members in the current government are recommending that Palestinian terrorists currently being held in Israeli prisons be released prior to the completion of their sentences in order to strengthen the PLO.
Yes you read that correctly.
Imprisoned Palestinian terrorists would be released in order to strengthen the PLO terrorist organization which most of them are members of in order to decrease the terrorism currently taking place.
There is no way to describe this other than “utter insanity.”
Well, there are other words, and the Association of Bereaved Families used these today: “despicable, shameful, and terrible.”
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.
