USA Today: Israel Has Endured "Three Months Of Near Daily Attacks By Palestinians"
USA Today reports that Israel has endured "three months of near daily attacks by Palestinians... Since late September, Jerusalem and the West Bank have been plagued by almost daily stabbings, shootings and vehicle attacks." Among the dead was an American student. Today two were killed in Jerusalem's Old City during a stabbing attack before the terrorists were neutralized. This murderous Jewish hatred is not an aberration, a fringe, a tiny minority, but deeply rooted in Israel's enemies. A poll published just last week by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research found 67% of Palestinians support stabbing attacks on Israelis. What would your nation do if it faced daily attacks from an enemy population? Should Israel not be pressured to protect its citizens from time to time, rather than having its arm twisted to concede and appease time and time again? If this were happening on the streets of London, Paris or New York, daily, would there not be a greater international outcry? Would there not be UN resolutions and demands for justice? Sad fact, but Jewish life has again become cheap. People of goodwill, civilized nations, if a truly moral compass pervaded our world, would together launch an international outcry. Israel can't count on anti-terror marches from world leaders in Tel Aviv. That's saved for France. And it's a damn shame. But like France, Israel's leadership should promise a "pitiless" response. If Jewish blood is less important to the world, it should be made far more costly to take by the Jewish State to make up for it. Tweet
