Terrorism

A Palestinian Arab terrorist on Monday rammed his car into a crowd of people standing at a bus stop near the entrance to Jerusalem, wounding 11, including an 18-month-old child.

The attack occurred near the “chords” bridge adjacent to Jerusalem’s Central Bus Station around mid-afternoon.

Nine of the victims were said to have suffered light injuries, while two, including the baby, were moderately wounded.

Two bystanders, a soldier and an armed civilian, witnessed the attack and quickly shot the terrorist dead before he could exit the vehicle and continue his attack.

Police found an axe in the vehicle, indicating that the assailant, a 21-year-old man from the Jerusalem suburb of Beit Hanina, did indeed intend to hack and stab additional victims following the ramming.

AP Slammed for Biased Jerusalem Attack Headline

AP Slammed for Biased 

Jerusalem Attack Headline

Sunday, October 26, 2014

JERUSALEM, Israel -- The Associated Press is facing some heat for its offensive headline following Thursday's terror attack in Jerusalem.

The AP's initial headline read, "Israeli Police Shoot Man in East Jerusalem," with no mention that police were responding to a terror attack.

The vehicular attack injured seven people and killed three month-old Chaya Zissel Braun, who held dual U.S.-Israeli citizenship.

After repeated complaints, AP changed the headline to "Car Slams Into East Jerusalem Train Station. And finally, AP acquiesed to complaints, changing it to "Palestinian Kills Baby at Jerusalem Station." But there are still calls for the wire service to identify who is responsible and to take action.

Meanwhile, the terrorist, Abdel Rahman Al-Shaludi, who ran over pedestrians waiting at a light-rail station, is being hailed as a martyr on Fatah's Facebook page.

Fatah is the party of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, who's been hailed as an iron-clad peace partner by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.

Opinion: World Condemns Israel for Protecting Its People

JERUSALEM, Israel -- As Israel fights back against Hamas -- the Palestinian terror group that openly declares its intention to wipe the Jewish state off the map -- it faces condemnation from the Arab world.

The spokesman for the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan called for an immediate halt to Israel's "barbaric aggression."

The Islamic Republic of Iran, responsible in large part for funding, training and arming Hamas and other Islamist terror groups, called on the West to condemn the Zionists' "savage aggression…against the innocent and defenseless people of Palestine."

President Barack Obama leveled the playing field by urging both sides "not to act out of revenge."

The Arab League, meanwhile, wants the U.N. Security Council to convene over Israel's response to rockets targeting its major population centers.

But many Israelis and their friends around the globe ask how can the world condemn a country for protecting its people? But that's exactly what Israel faces every time it's forced to act against those seeking its destruction.

It doesn't seem to matter how well or how often Israel explains its position or how hard it tries to avoid collateral damage while destroying munitions factories, weapons warehouses, rocket launch sites, and arms smuggling tunnels in the Gaza Strip.

Israeli leaders vowed the operation in Gaza will expand and continue until the rocket fire stops and quiet returns.

"Hamas will pay a heavy price for firing at Israeli citizens," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said after meeting with Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz, and Southern Command chief Maj. Gen. Sami Turgeman.
"The security of Israel's citizens is first and foremost. Our army is strong, the home front firm, and our nation united," Netanyahu said.

"Hamas has chosen escalation," Gantz said. "The other organizations have joined it and we will use all the power we have, in varying degrees, to ensure what we consider a victory. We will exact the full price [from Hamas] for the strategic mistake it has made."

Ya'alon also said Hamas would pay "a very heavy price" and the campaign would not end "in a matter of days."

"We are destroying [the terror group's] arms, terrorist infrastructure, command and control systems, institutions, government buildings, terrorists' homes," Ya'alon said. "And we are killing terrorists in the organization's high command," referring to a pinpoint air strike that took out a senior Hamas terrorist Wednesday as he traveled by motorcycle in northern Gaza.

"We will continue to hit Hamas and other terrorist organizations hard from the air, at sea, and on the ground in order to ensure the security of the citizens of Israel," Ya'alon said.

Most Israelis back the government's full-scale operation against Gaza-based jihadists. Many hope the IDF will succeed in destroying as much as the terrorist infrastructure as possible, now threatening the Jewish state's major population centers.

Jew-Killing Has Become Lucrative Palestinian Profession

Monday, July 07, 2014 |  Yossi Aloni  ISRAEL TODAY

Israel’s security cabinet is exploring ways to curb monthly stipends paid by the Palestinian Authority to Palestinian terrorists sitting in Israeli jails.

The issue was again brought to the forefront as Israel sought ways to put pressure on the Palestinians to return three abducted Jewish youths, who have since been found murdered.

Data presented to the cabinet revealed that a terrorist sentenced to 10–15 years in an Israeli jail receives a salary of 6,000 shekels (USD $1,750) a month. A terrorist serving 25–30 years receives 10,000 shekels.

Terrorists with “blood on their hands” - those who have succeeded in murdering Israelis and are serving more than 30 years - can expect a monthly income of 12,000 shekels (USD $3,500), which is nearly five times the average salary in the Palestinian Authority.

With those kinds of numbers, the murder and attempted murder of Jews has become one of the most rewarding professions in the Palestinian Authority.

An Israeli Foreign Ministry report shows that in 2012, the Palestinian Authority paid USD $75.5 million to jailed terrorists and their families. And that represents only the transfers from the PA’s Ministry of Prisoner Affairs.

Additional monies are regularly paid to the families of jailed terrorists by the Ministry of Social Affairs, and to the families of deceased terrorists, including suicide bombers. These additional payments reached USD $78 million in 2011.

All together, the Palestinian Authority is spending some 20 percent of its annual foreign aid and five percent of its overall annual budget on supporting terrorists and their families.

'Son of Hamas' Makes Movie Exposing Islam

Mosab Hassan Yousef video

Mosab Hassan Yousef, a Christian convert and the son of a Hamas leader, is now working on a movie about the Islamic prophet Muhammad.

Yousef announced the project at a press conference in Jerusalem Tuesday. It was his first visit to Israel since he left in 2007.

"I think this is the time to expose the real nature of Islam," Yousef told reporters.

"Islam is not a religion of peace," he continued. "Islam is a religion of war and most Muslims don't understand the true nature of Islam. This is the time and I would like to announce it today here from Jerusalem, next to the Temple Mount."

In Yousef's book, Son of Hamas, he explains how he worked with Israeli security to stop terror attacks against the Israelis.

Many Palestinians, including Yousef's parents, view him as a traitor to Islam and worthy of death.

"I'm not to be addressed as his mother because he's not my son," Yousef's mother, Rubha told Reuters. "He gave his loyalties to a religion other than Islam. We're Muslims and he attacked our religion."

But Yousef remains unapologetic about his Christian faith.

"Usually people are ashamed when they do something wrong. People love to live in the darkness ... I live in the light. I didn't do anything wrong by saving human life," he said.
