Media Silence As Palestinians Begin New Campaign Attacking Israelis

Hello darkness. The whole world, except perhaps the venerable Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the author Alice Walker, and the UN Human Rights Council, recognize that the State of Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. No further evidence of this is required than the vitriolic attack on Israel by a female Arab member of the Knesset, the Israeli Parliament. Even the anti-Israeli lobbies, with their vilification of Israel as an apartheid state, must now be conscious of the Palestinian false subtleties and deliberate distortions of reality.
[. . .]
[Israeli-Arab Haneen Zoabi, a member of the United Arab List in the Knesset] asserted that individual terrorist attacks against Israel were insufficient, and that hundreds of thousands must go out to support these incidents that will turn into an intifada, the third Palestinian intifada of violence and terrorism.
[. . .]
It is regrettable that some Western media and politicians have swallowed the false moral equivalence between terrorists and Israeli defenders. One such declaration on the issue was by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and his spokespeople on October 6, 2015 that the Palestinians “did not attack and did not do anything against the Israelis… The Israeli government is escalating its strong offensive against the Palestinian people everywhere.” One recent shameful example of this dishonest moral equivalence was that of the BBC, typically unfriendly towards Israel, in its comment after a terrorist attack, “Palestinian shot dead after Jerusalem attack kills two.” Like the Palestinian leadership, the BBC, in its unclear and confusing remark, was blaming the victim.
[. . .]
The praise for the terrorists has been continuing. The contrast in humane behavior between the two sides could not be clearer. On October 9, 2015 a 31-year-old female Arab from Jaffa was stopped near Ma’ale Adumim while driving a car with two bombs and a gas canister, evidently with the intention of perpetrating an attack in central Jerusalem. On being approached by police officers she shouted “Allahu Akbar,” (God is Great) before one of the bombs detonated.

The underlying problem now is that the Al-Aqsa Mosque has become the rallying cry for Palestinian terrorists who essentially are encouraging some form of holy war with their explicitly religious violence.

End the Sound of Silence on Palestinian Terrorism
By Michael Curtis

He encouraged young Palestinian men to “form stabbing quads” and attack victims with “axes and butcher knives.”
Earlier on in October, a terrorist named Muhannad Halabi stabbed two Israeli men to death and injured a woman and her two-year-old child in Jerusalem’s Old City. Israeli police shot and killed Halabi after the knife attack. Later, a Palestinian mother named her newborn child after the “hero” terrorist.
Violence in Jerusalem—ranging from stabbings and shootings to an explosion–has escalated over several days, leading Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to ask for police reinforcements in the area.

Retired Brig. Gen. Yossi Kuperwasser lamented the increasing violence against Israeli citizens at the hands of Palestinians and Arab-Israeli terrorists, many of them teenagers.
Three people were murdered and nearly two dozen injured in at least four terror attacks on Israelis Tuesday.
Kuperwasser, who once served as director general of the Israel Ministry of Strategic Affairs and headed the Research and Analysis and Production Division of Israel Defense Forces Military Intelligence, told reporters that Palestinians are taught from a young age to “get rid of the Jews who came to this land, who deny the Palestinian cause.”
Young Palestinians, Kuperwasser said, are taught by leaders in school, summer camp, and other activities to demonstrate their commitment to the “struggle” by engaging in violence.
[. . .]
The ex-general explained that such “brainwashing” makes it difficult for the Israeli government to stop such attacks.
“It’s not easy to convince them to give it up because they were brainwashed for such a long time,” Kuperwasser stated.
[. . .]
The Palestinian attackers also used a car and a meat cleaver to wound Israelis.
Palestinian terror groups have celebrated the attacks. “The Hamas movement blesses the heroic operations in Jerusalem and hails the heroes who executed them,” Hamas wrote on its Twitter account.
One day prior, Palestinians waged three knife attacks in Jerusalem, one of which left an Israeli boy in critical condition. Israeli authorities shot and killed one of the attackers and a second was run over by a car.
The surge in attacks Tuesday comes after weeks of increased violence against Israelis at the hands of Palestinian and Arab-Israeli terrorists, leading Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to ask for police reinforcements in the area over the weekend.
Eight Israelis have been killed and dozens injured in attacks over recent weeks, and upwards of 28 Palestinians—about half of them attackers—have been killed in confrontations with Israeli forces.
A cleric urged Palestinians on Friday to stab Jewish Israelis during a sermon at a mosque in Rafah, directing his audience to attack Jews in groups and use “axes and butcher knives” to “cut them into body parts.”
