Anarchy Reigns Supreme in Tel Aviv
Fires in the streets.
And:
Fires on the Ayalon Freeway which runs through Tel Aviv.
The anarchists feel completely free to do anything: set fires in the streets, write graffiti on public buildings, pound the cars of motorists who are trying to get through the blockages, and on and on. They know that if they are detained by the police, they will be released within hours.
Take the following unbelievable case that happened just this morning.
An anti-government anarchist posted a call to assassinate PM Netanyahu in the social media.
He was immediately tracked down by the police and “detained for questioning.”
At the end of a two-hour detention, he was released.
Can you believe what is going on in Israel?
The Unbelievable Quote of the Day
“We will not veto the “Reasonableness Law” to be voted on in the Knesset.”
A senior Biden official at the White House yesterday–as conveyed to visiting Israel President Herzog.
Just the thought that the Bidenites believe that they can “veto” Israeli legislation is beyond outrageous.
The News on the Israeli Street
The war in Judea, Samaria, and Jerusalem.
Stabbing attack:
A Palestinian terrorist stabbed Or Sayer Weiner, a 26-year-old Hebrew University chemistry and biology major, on Margalit Street in the Gila neighborhood of Jerusalem at about 6 pm yesterday.
The terrorist stabbed him more than 20 times.
The victim was found by MADA paramedics with severe wounds. One knife was still stuck in his back, and he was unconscious. He is in critical condition in Shaare Zedek Hospital. The terrorists remain at large.
IED, “rock”, Molotov attacks:
Palestinian terrorists tried to murder Israeli men, women, and children on Road 55 near Kedumim, between the Al-Khader Junction and Efrat North Junction, on the Gush Etzion-Hevron Road at El Aruv, in the vicinity of Azzun, near the Tapuach Junction, and at dozens of other locations.

PM Netanyahu Once Again Offers Compromise (and) Hits The Road
PM Netanyahu took to the airwaves last night to continue to offer a hand in compromise on the “Reasonableness Law” which will pass the Knesset on Sunday or Monday.
His offer to compromise was met with the usual violently vehement rejections from Opposition leaders Yair Lapid, Benny Gantz, Avigdor Liberman, and others.
In making his offer, Netanyahu went to some lengths to show the utter hypocrisy of those same leaders as well as former Supreme Court President Aharon Barak–all of whom have expressed support in the past for precisely the same law that they are now condemning Netanyahu for.
In the meantime, it is turning out to be difficult to get a place on the prime minister’s summer travel dance card.
Yesterday, it was announced that Netanyahu will travel to Turkey on July 28 to meet with Turkish PM Erdogan. Also, he was invited to Morocco yesterday and indicated that he would go soon. If that is not enough, he is supposed to meet with Chinese leader Xi Jinpeng in Beijing in the coming month, and he has been invited to the U.A.E.
All of this would supposedly come before Netanyahu finally gets to the U.S. to meet with Joe Biden.
Netanyahu concluded his television remarks last night: “Our challenges are the growth of the economy, the fight against the cost of living, the fight against terrorism and the Iranian threat – we work for these goals every day. The door of the coalition will always remain open for compromise. Even in the most stormy days we must remember that we are one people, with one destiny and we have no other country.”
Important words to remember this Shabbat.
Shabbat Shalom!
