There has been a spate of such attacks in Jerusalem and elsewhere lately — and a billboard in Nazareth calling for them, but of course only AFDI billboards and advertisements are offensive. Last October the Islamic State issued this call to Muslims in the West: “If you are not able to find an IED [improvised explosive device] or a bullet … smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him. If you are unable to do so, then burn his home, car or business. Or destroy his crops.”
Note AFP’s sneer quotes around “terrorist”: “Palestinian ‘terrorist’ shot dead after ramming car into Israeli police officers in Jerusalem,” AFP, May 20, 2015:
Israeli police say they have shot dead a Palestinian man in east Jerusalem after he rammed them with his car, injuring two officers.
Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said the driver had veered off the road and struck two border policemen in the Palestinian neighbourhood of A-Tur on the Mount of Olives.
“Another border policeman opened fire at the terrorist and neutralised him,” she said, confirming that the driver had died.
The two policemen were moderately injured in the attack and taken to different hospitals in the city, she said.
There was no immediate information on the driver’s identity, other than the fact he was a resident of east Jerusalem.
It was the latest in a string of lone-wolf attacks by Palestinians using their cars to ram pedestrians or police, in a trend that began in Jerusalem in October but has also spread to the West Bank….

The Pally government pays the suicide murderers’ families as an incentive. This dead terrorist’s family will soon receive their first check.

Not surprised.

Here are the latest excellent articles from Gatestone on the Israel/ Palestine situation:
http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/5750/palestinians-anti-peace
http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/5722/palestinian-authority-treason
Most of the people who comment on the situation haven’t got a clue as what is actually happening in Gaza/ West Bank. Please forward the articles to ignorant media types who base their opinions on false information. Always be sur to point out that the writer is an ARAB MUSLIM (lest he be labelled an “Islamophobe”).
Thanks.

That never prevented anyone from being accused of islamophobia.

Calling Arabs “Palestinians” is a consequence of Soviet propaganda. The terms “Palestine” and “Palestinian” referred to “land of the Jews” and “Jew” from the time that the Roman Emperor Hadrian, after defeating the last Jewish rebellion under Bar Kochba in 135 A.D., changed the name of Judea to “Palestina” in order to eradicate all memory of Judea and the Jews; he outlawed Judaism and renamed Jerusalem “Aelia Capitolina,” “Aelius” being his gens name.
After Great Britain World War I, was awarded the “Palestine Mandate” to be “the homeland of the Jews.”
In Cairo, in 1964, Gamal Nasser, ruler of Egypt, and the Soviet Union. haters of Jews and of Israel, founded the “Palestine Liberation Organization” (P.L.O.) which came to fame when it massacred the Israeli athletes at the Olympic Games in Munich in 1972. Since then, these Arabs have been miscalled “Palestinians.”

to know stuff that really happens just google “pallywood” and read some cases
israeli media is hiding cases covering them up – many jews are killed cause of jihad but police and media are counting the dead as “criminal related deaths !!”
so when you hear about the numbers and wonder why israel goes crazy over 2-3 people just know the real number is higher – but even most israelis dont know about it !! just crazy !
