May His Memory Be For A Blessing
Chen Amir, the 42-year-old Tel Aviv patrolman who was cold-bloodedly shot in the head at point blank range by the terrorist on Ditzengoff in Tel Aviv last night. He leaves behind his wife and three young daughters. Amir’s bravery saved many lives.
The terrorist came from Jenin but no one seems to have the slightest idea how he got to Tel Aviv. In fact, the terrorist was one of the terrorists sought in the recent Jenin IDF operation, but he escaped capture at that time.
A senior security official commented this morning that in the past few weeks, the IDF “unilaterally reduced” activity around Jenin.
What happened last night in Tel Aviv is the result.
The Burka Incident Yesterday
The faux mainline media is widely reporting that “an extremist Israeli settler” murdered “a Palestinian boy” outside of Burka yesterday.
This is what happened.
A small group of Jewish shepherds from Oz Zion were grazing their animals when they were attacked by hundreds of Palestinians from Burka.
Both sides began throwing “rocks” at each other. One of the Jewish community members was hit in the head and knocked to the ground. He then pulled out his legally licensed gun and fired at his 19-year-old attacker in self defense.
If you can believe this, he was subsequently arrested by the police.
Well not exactly.
The Israeli who killed the Palestinian is in intensive care in Sha’are Zedek after undergoing brain surgery:
Lying on the ground with this wound, the Israeli man was able to fire at his attacker as he was about to be hit again in the head and killed. The police are “detaining” him in his hospital room.
Outrageously this morning, the Biden Administration compared the man whom you see above with the terrorist who murdered the Tel Aviv policeman.
Never mind that the terrorist from Jenin came to Tel Aviv with the express purpose (he made a video) of murdering Jews and gruesomely shot the policeman in the head, whereas the Israeli from Oz Zion was brutally smashed in the head and fired at his Palestinian attacker in self-defense: to the Biden Administration they are the same.
The Hilarious Video of the Day
Moayed Shaaban, the PLO Minister in charge of “The Authority for the Fight Against the Fence and the Settlements” posted the following ludicrous video yesterday.
Supposedly, it shows an injured Shaaban being hustled on the shoulders of four men to a waiting car–after “a confrontation with an Israeli soldier” near Ariel.
As you watch the video, notice that:
*you never see Shaaban’s face, nor any of his supposed injuries.
*you never see an IDF soldier.
We can put this video in the file of faux Palliewood videos that we have gathered over the eyars.
The News on the Israeli Street
The war in Judea and Samaria.
The terrorist coming from Jenin to Tel Aviv and the terrorist in Burka aside, there were numerous terror attacks in the last 24 hours.
Shooting attacks:
Palestinian terrorists opened fire on IDF troops at Romana.
Palestinian terrorists opened fire on IDF troops in Shechem.
IED, Molotov, and “rock” attacks:
Note the front windshield completely smashed in Qalqilya yesterday.
Palestinian terrorists attempted to murder Israeli men, women and children on Road 55 near Azzun, in Qalqilya, Beit Awa, near the T Junction in Gush Etzion, and at a dozen other locations.
TODAY’S BLOG:
The U.S. Visa Exemption: What Price?
One of many selfies hideous BDS activist Nerdeen Kiswani took of herself in “Palestine” last week.
The absurd lengths that Israel is going through in order to obtain the visa exemption for Israelis visiting the U.S. expose us to one demeaning experience, not to mention dangerous, situation after another.
You will recall that your humble servant noted a few weeks ago that the “free movement of Palestinian-Americans” demanded by the Americans through Ben Gurion Airport, the border crossings, and throughout Israel itself also included free movement for some of the most hideous BDS leaders on the planet.
Take the case of Nerdeen Kiswani, a BDS provocateur who flew into Israel last week. In previous years, she was stopped at Ben Gurion and sent back to the U.S. for such things as encouraging the murder of “Zionists.”
But not this time.
Instead, she sailed through immigration under the watchful eye of American observers and went straight to Haifa, Jenin, Shechem, and Jerusalem.
In Shechem, she met with the father of one of the Lions’ Den terrorists who was killed by IDF forces. She then made several posts praising the terrorists.
In Jenin, she posted photos of the terrorists killed in our recent operation there and wrote “You can still see the destruction that the Zionist army caused in the Jenin refugee camp. Bullets hit houses and cars.”
In Haifa: “In historic Palestine to show my sisters the land that was stolen from us . . . It is important to know what we are fighting for.”
Finally at the Temple Mount: “First time I’m back after being kicked out in 2015. If you are a US citizen, come to Palestine and if you have been refused in the past like me, this time, the US embassy will be on standby to protect you.”
What the U.S. has demanded us is despicable, and the fact that we have agreed to it is even more despicable.
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.
