US State Department lists 101 “Palestinian” acts of violence against Israelis in 2019, when there were actually 1759

Jul 13, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This is a reminder that there are entrenched and unaccountable bureaucrats within the State Department and other U.S. agencies who do not have the best interests of the nation or its allies at heart.

“Why did US report on Palestinian terrorism get the numbers wrong?,” by Ariel Kahana, Israel Hayom, July 7, 2020:

Data published by the US State Department about the number of Palestinian acts of violence against Israelis in 2019 cites only about one-tenth the number of incidents that Israel reports for the same period.

According to the State Department Israel 2019 Human Rights Report, published in March, Palestinians committed 101 acts of violence against Israeli civilians in the West Bank, “primarily stonethrowing .”

However, the number of incidents recorded by the IDF and the Shin Bet security agency for 2019 is much higher. The IDF reported that over the course of 2019, there were 290 incidents of Palestinians throwing Molotov cocktails at Israelis and 1,469 stonethrowing incidents. The Shin Bet reported a total of 1,327 Palestinian terrorist acts for 2019.

The data about Palestinian attacks on Israelis has been collected by the group Boomerang, which advocates for Israel and publishes a weekly report on terrorism statistics. At the start of 2020, Boomerang head Azri Tubi sent the US Embassy in Jerusalem a detailed report that documented all attempts by Palestinians to harm Israelis in Judea and Samaria throughout 2019. However, the information does not appear to have influenced the State Department’s report….

Tubi told Israel Hayom that “rather than admitting the truth and apologizing for a false, biased report that has been published for dozens of years, the State Department is opting to continue to play dumb and claim that it is operating objectively.

“The authors of the report should be reminded that behind the numbers of hundreds and thousands of Palestinian attacks against Israeli, there are people who have been stabbed and had Molotov cocktails thrown at them, or rocks,” Tubi said.

    Ah, seems like Louis Farrakhan’s million-man math has made ingress into the State Department bureaucracy.

    I hope the Trump administration is learning a few things from the Israeli’s because I assure you the Black Lives Matter people are taking lessons and learning from the Palestinians.
