Hamas crowed that these murders were “a new chapter in our resistance in the West Bank. The incident has proven that ant [sic] attempts of the Palestinian Authority to normalize relations with the Zionist occupier are unsuccessful.”
Abbas has recently called on Hamas to turn over power in Gaza to his Palestinian Authority. This is apparently Hamas’ answer: to appeal to the Jew-hatred and bloodlust of the “Palestinian” Muslims in Judea and Samaria, showing that Hamas is more willing to murder Israeli civilians than is the Palestinian Authority.
“2 Israelis killed, 1 injured in terror attack in West Bank industrial zone,” JTA, October 7, 2018:
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Two Israelis were killed and another injured in a terror attack in the Barkan industrial area in the West Bank.
The attack took place on Sunday morning shortly before 8:00 at the beginning of the work week in the settlement’s industrial zone that is home to 160 factories that employ thousands of Palestinian and Jewish workers.
The man and woman died of their injuries at the scene. The third person, a woman in her 50s, was taken to a nearby Israeli hospital in serious but stable condition, according to Magen David Adom. The dead woman later was identified as Kim Levengrond Yehezkel, 29, of Rosh Ha’ayin in central Israel. The dead man was identified as Ziv Hajbi, a 35-year-old father of three from Rishon Lezion in central Israel. They both were tied up and shot at close range….
The attacker, who used an assault rifle and reportedly knew the two dead victims, was caught on security cameras leaving the factory where he shot his victims and where he has been employed for several months. He had a permit to enter Barkan for work, but it is not known how he was able to bring the weapon into the industrial zone.He reportedly left behind a suicide note with a friend.
The Israel Defense Forces launched a search for the attacker, who was identified as a 23 year-old Palestinian from the village of Shweika near the West Bank city of Tulkarem. “This is a serious terror attack,” said IDF Spokesman Ronen Manlis in a statement. “He may have had other motives, but we unequivocally state that this is a terrorist attack, in light of other findings we have.” He added that special units were brought in to help capture the shooter.
Manlis called the Barkan Industrial Zone “an area of co-existence in which Palestinians work daily with a permit alongside Jews. We are examining the events of the day, but it is clear to all of us that preserving this coexistence is part of the IDF’s mission, and we will continue to do so.”…
The Hamas terror organization in a statement called the attack “a new chapter in our resistance in the West Bank. The incident has proven that ant [sic] attempts of the Palestinian Authority to normalize relations with the Zionist occupier are unsuccessful.”…

Attacking unarmed civilians walking down the street is considered ‘heroism’ in their twisted thinking.
The terrorists want to destroy the harmony between co-workers and economically sabotage Israel.
The terrorists could care less about their own people. All Islamic terrorism does is to destroy and lay waste.
Islam has no positive help to give to the poor and downtrodden, but only the message of DYING FOR ALLAH. When will Muslims have enough of this moronic Death Cult.
When will cognitive dissonance click in for the majority of Muslims?

Jay Smith presents very compelling historical evidence regarding Abd al-Malik, changes to his 692 coin, and the directions of the Qibla etc. Muslims would probably have to be force fed this info. Check out the last ten minutes for a summary:

At this point, why would a non-Muslim even speak to a Muslim?
Honestly, I wonder sometimes.

Total support to Israel!
Many people of all faiths and none{except islam of course..}support Israel and the Jews.
islam:the religion of hate with its Commandment-of-God violating teachings of its false god allah{ “the best of deceivers” k3:54} in its “holy” book and its warped example of immorality,its false “prophet” muhammed the mass-murderer{Abu Dawud 4390}
At least Jews and christians understand the concept of the Commandments and the importance of obeying them.
Mulsims don’t:but then allah himself doesn’t agree with them and teaches muslims to break them.
JUDAISM 10 commandments AND 2 Chief laws of LOVE :the Torah
CHRISTIANITY 10 commandments AND 2 Chief laws of LOVE: the Gospel..i.e the SAME MORAL GOD-given Code
That is why sincere Christians should give 100% unconditional support to the Jews and the Israelis since we really do share the same values and the same GOD-given 10+2 commandment system.
Judaism and Christianity have NOTHING to do with islam:a religion that CURSES Jews and Christians koran 9:30
islam :the koranic teachings of endless violations of the Exodus 20 Laws and NO TWO CHIEF COMMANDMENTS;nothing but HATE and evil and violence sanctioned by “allah” a god who CURSES Jews AND Christians koran 9:30

Excellent post. Agreed on all points.
Guy Forester says
Further evidence that no good deed goes unpunished, at least in some parts of the world.
Possible responses to this:
1. All Israeli Jewish and Christian citizens allowed to carry, especially those with military or reserve service.
2. Revoke all work permits from Hamas and PA controlled areas
3. Close all border crossings from the same
4. If Israel has a labor shortage, tell those on welfare that there is work available, no more incentives or exemptions from work due to religious reasons.
5. If you still need workers, places like the Philippines, Thailand, and Burma have Christian and Buddhist workers available. Many with college degrees, varying degrees of workable English, good work ethics, and above all, mostly belonging to a religion that does not require them to murder others for a god we dare not name. Not only that, they will work for less than most people and will appreciate the work.

barbara fletcher says
it will be an awesome thing to fall into the hands of the Living God and creator of heaven and earth, Jehovah(in English) He tolerates no other gods and all will be destroyed at Armageddon by His Son Jesus(in English) all false religions will be destroyed, all the idols of stone, wood, gold and silver, resin or chalk and other metals, the Muslem religion is based on a man from a cave and was being led by Satan the devil and does his bidding. We are deep into the last days of this system as the Bible says, and if one is not honouring the Creator they will be gone , all the murderers, homosexuals, lesbians. liars,greedy people, abusers of children and animals, we have been warned many times that the Kingdom of God will replace all governments with rule by Jesus in a government from heaven where no corruption will be allowed.

Reading that comment by Barbara left me quivering with disgust. With attitudes like that people wonder why I gave up Abrahamism in all its forms? That’s partly why.

From the article – “The attacker, who used an assault rifle and reportedly knew the two dead victims, was caught on security cameras leaving the factory where he shot his victims and where he has been employed for several months. He had a permit to enter Barkan for work, but it is not known how he was able to bring the weapon into the industrial zone.”
He knew the people he murdered. That’s probably why he was able to get close enough to them to take them by surprise and tie them up.
I bet he intended murder from *before* the day when he first showed up for work.
I don’t know whether Israeli security runs background checks on people like this. If they do, then … **apart from his being Muslim** he might not have set off any alarms at all. No obvious criminal record, no association with name-branded jihad gangs such as Hamas.
What too many Israelis still seem not to have grasped is that membership in the Muslim mob – *any* degree of membership, and that includes those who do *not* swan about in obvious Islamic uniform, those who might appear to be ‘Muslims in name only’ – should be a red flag in and of itself. So long as a person identifies as Muslim that person can – and quite often will – suddenly ‘get religion’, become more devout, more orthodox, more pious and… Go Jihad, murderously, even mass-murderously.
A further wrinkle is that a deeply-devoutly murder-minded Muslim is perfectly capable of *posing* as ‘barely-muslim-at-all’, of playing nice, keeping their nose clean, staying away from mosque, staying away from jihadi websites… but all the while, burrowing their way into some place like this factory in Barkan, gaining access, winning the trust of… those that they intend to *kill*.
*Every* non-Islamic state, not just Israel, has to ‘get’ this, at a gut level, before they can reach the obvious conclusion: DON’T let any more identifiable Muslims into one’s country; EXPEL all those already present; SHUT DOWN and raze the mosques on one’s home soil; then quarantine the lands and societies already blighted by Islam, and *keep* them quarantined.
The Muslim murderer’s entire village, with its mosque or mosques, ought to be razed to the ground and its population expelled into Gaza.
If every Muslim colony that produced and hosted and sheltered a jihadi, or jihadis and associated inciters, were dealt with in this way, after attacks (or attempted attacks, or plotted-but-foiled attacks), pretty soon there wouldn’t be very many Muslim colonies *left* in Judea and Samaria, nor within the rest of eretz Israel.
India and other countries afflicted with Muslim Fifth Columnists need to adopt a similar policy and practice.
Got Muslims? Got Mosques? Got Jihad. Guaranteed.
Only way to stop the Fifth Columnists from murdering people – as this Muslim, in Samaria, just did, ritually slaughtering two unarmed civilians – is to kick them OUT and *keep* them out, in perpetuity.
