“In a bid to halt the fighting, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said he would meet the Israeli and Palestinian leaders in the coming days.” He will doubtless press Israel to make more disastrous concessions to the genocidal jihadis.
“Israel: Assailant opens fire on bus station, soldier killed,” by Tia Goldenberg, Associated Press, October 18, 2015:
JERUSALEM (AP) — An Arab attacker armed with a gun and a knife opened fire in a southern Israel bus station on Sunday, police said, killing an Israeli soldier and wounding 10 people in one of the boldest attacks yet in a monthlong wave of violence.
The attack came as Israel further tightened security around the country, highlighted by the construction of a barrier separating Jewish and Arab neighborhoods in east Jerusalem. In a bid to halt the fighting, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said he would meet the Israeli and Palestinian leaders in the coming days.
Israel has deployed thousands of police, backed up by troops, to maintain order following a spate of attacks, mostly stabbings, by Palestinian assailants. Those measures have so far failed to stop the violence.
In Sunday night’s attack, police said the Arab assailant entered the central bus station in the southern city of Beersheba and began shooting and stabbing people. They said an Israeli soldier was killed, five police were lightly wounded and five civilians were wounded to varying degrees.
Yoram Halevy, a police commander in southern Israel, told reporters that in addition to the knife and gun he entered with, the attacker also snatched a weapon from the soldier he killed.
The attacker, whose identity was not immediately known, was shot and killed.
A foreigner was shot by police during the attack after they apparently mistook him for an assailant. Halevy said security forces responding to the attack entered the bus station from another area and saw a “foreign national,” shooting and wounding him.
Israeli media said the foreigner was an Eritrean national living in Israel.
Israeli media showed footage of a blood-streaked floor and rows of ambulances outside the bus station. Security camera footage from the bus station aired on Israeli TV showed what appeared to be a civilian shooting the attacker as soldiers and civilians crouched for cover nearby….

The United States supports the Palestinians and their cause. Let’s be honest. Bill Clinton supported them. George W. Bush supported them. Mitt Romney supported them. Barack Obama supports them. U.S. Congress supports them.

The political class may do so. I, an American, do not. I suport Israel and the Jewish people.

Ditto.

Israel needs to take back all the lands that God gave them.

It’s hard to have sympathy with the Israelis when they have done so little for the people who were driven from their homes in 1948. Most of the hard line settlers causing the problems are recently arrived from the US. Perhaps it’s time the government in Tel Aviv encouraged them to return home? Then there may be a chance for peace, albeit slim.

Rubbish.
What is going on is Jihad, and Israeli Jewish resistance to Jihad.
The Arab Muslims attacked the Land of Israel – then ruled by Christian Byzantium, but still containing very large Jewish communities – in the 7th century and added it to the spoils of the Empire of Islam (which Empire is supposed to expand unstoppably until EVERYONE ON EARTH is subject to it, either as a Muslim or as a dcimmi Untermensch…or is EXTERMINATED).
The Muslim imperialists are spitting chips because Jews – seizing their chance in a juncture of history, and defying *both* the British Empire and the de facto empire of Islam – got back a portion of the land of Israel, Jewish traditional ancestral home-land, thus pushing back the boundary of the dar al Islam and making Muslims disgorge a tiny part of their ill-gotten gains. Muslims are also mad as hell because the Jews are defying two of the Rules for Dhimmis: 1/ no Dhimmi is allowed to keep or bear arms and 2/ no Dhimmi is allowed to defend him or herself against Muslim attack. Chimes were not allowed to strike a Muslim – EVER. Which meant Muslims could rape, rob, bash and murder Dhimmis anytime they liked; and often they *did* like. It should be borne in mind that *half* of the Jewish population of Israel consists of Jews who never left the middle east, and who – or whose forebears – endured for over a thousand years, both in the land of Israel and in their ancient – PRE-ISLAMIC – communities in places like Morocco, Libya, Egypt, Yemen (where they were virtually chattel slaves, under Muslims), Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, the seven hells of Dhimmitude.
Muslim Jew-hatred follows the example set by Mohammed, who among other evil deeds once attacked a peaceful Jewish farming community called the Khaybar Oasis, pillaged it, killed many of the men, and enslaved many of the women and girls and boy-children. Mohammed supervised the torture unto death of a Jewish man of Khaybar called Kinana, and then, that very same night, raped Kinana’s 17 year old widow Safiyya and stuffed her into his harem as yet another ‘wife’. That all happened when, to repeat, Christian Byzantium ruled the land of Israel. The Jews of *Khaybar* were stateless; a minority community, a tribe among tribes in a land that didn’t have a central government. So it isn’t Jewish sovereignty that gets the Muslims hating on Jews. It’s …the fact that Jews are Jews. Muslim texts – Quran, Sira, Hadiths – ALL written more than a thousand years before the restoration of the Jewish state of Israel on Israelite traditional land – are riddled with virulent Jew-hatred. And it is *that* which is driving Muslims, in Israel, right now, to stab and stab and stab and stab and shoot …Jews. Any Jew they can find.
A Muslim sheikh in a mosque in Rafah in Gaza delivered a ‘sermon’. It was a frenzied hate-fest. He was waving a huge knife about, and orgiastically calling for the stabbing and dismembering and bloodletting of Jews. And he referred to *Khaybar*. That is: to something that happened long, long, long before modern Israel. That should tell you something.
This is just about ritual murder of Jews for ‘allah’ the drinker of human blood.
These Jews who are being stabbed – frenziedly, repeatedly, in berserker-type attacks – are **HUMAN SACRIFICES**.
And people like you are too damn blind – or too damn drunk on Jew-hatred of your own – to see it.
Guess what? If a muslim running amok yowling allahu-akbar tries to stab a Jew to death and the Jew blows him away with a gun…I’m going to **cheer**. Because that Jew is refusing to be a Dhimmi; refusing to Submit to Muslim aggression, Muslim bloodlust.

A great post.

Post of the year. This is 100% correct on all points. It’s time for Christianity to reclaim those lands lost to the Muslims in the 7th century. Let the Reconquista begin anew!

Here’s a Native Canadian take on Israel, and on the Arab Muslim irredentist imperialists (and all the other Muslim imperialist Jew-haters, because lots of non-Arab Muslims are high on Jew-hatred too, and baying for the destruction of the little Jewish state).

What are you talking about? Israel took in all Jews expelled from Arab countries from 1948 and on. They and their descendants are fully integrated into Israeli society.
Gary Grammat says
Anti-semitism, ignorance and stupidity always come together. Who made those moslems lieave? Those subhumen started war together with their arab brothers and lost. The was is the reason they had to leave. Why Israel has to look after them? If anything, they have to pay reparation as being the aggressors. That has been always throughout history.
Their allies in the wars against Israel treat them as dirt, as they are. As a matter of fact, Israel does more for them then any arab countries, providing jobs, electricity, medical and educational services.
Israelis don’t need your sympathy. They kicked your moslem arses before, and will do it again.
TH says
In 1948 the Arabs started the war and the people abandoned their homes at the behest of the Arab leaders. They lost the war and every other war, all of which were begun by them. Of course, if Isreal hadn’t won those wars, it would not exist. The only way of dealing with cowardly muslim terrorists is to stand up to them and hit them hard, which is what Israel does and has to do.

Dan says
If in all this mess and confusion, the Israelis have finally actually made a mistake and injured or killed someone who really is innocent, the blame lies entirely with:
1. The Palestinians.
2. Islamists.
3. Muslims who support Islamists
4. Moderate Muslims who haven’t cleaned up their own mess.
5. CNN, MSNBC, the CBC, the BBC, and any and all who work for the lame stream media.
6. Obama, his administration and their ilk.
7. And finally, especially after the entire wreck this year has been, the neo Nazi, caveman browed, anti-Semite Israeli bashing, inbred thugs and imbeciles who still support the aforementioned sycophantic six.

Fat lot of good Kerry can in view of his past history in negotiations, moron has no concept of the ISLAMIC mind! Dealing with pally ISLAM is like dealing with a double headed viper spitting poison from both mouths!
