I fear this post will turn into a roll call of excuses for a most brutal and revolting deed. Put any more you find in the comments, I’ll add them.
First up, the UK’s former Senior Minister at the Foreign Office, Baroness Warsi. I’m not sure what intimidation on Har Habyait, the Temple Mount, she’s referring too because all the people I know who’ve been up there recently were greeted with screams of Allah Huakbar and vociferous abuse from Muslims. Regardless: intimidation is not the same as shooting and stabbing people to death while they prayed.
Update 12:03: In a closed group on Facebook, Greta Berlin has replied to me with Palestinian claims that the Arab bus driver who was found hanged in his bus yesterday was murdered. Every reputable News source is reporting it as a suicide.
Update 12:18: Naftali Bennet on BBC News holds up a picture of one of the Jews murdered while praying. Listen to the anchor’s reaction:
Update 12:43: A few of the more despicable media reactions. Honest reporting has this major caption fail from CNN:
Update 12:50: More from twitter. Avi Mayer reporting excuses from Greek Orthodox Archbishop Theodosios:
Update 12:56: in FrontPage Mag, Daniel Greenfield links to some of the many celebratory Palestinian tweets. I won’t embed because many show pictures. Quite a few call the murdered Jews “settlers” of course.
Update 13:08: looks like the UK’s ITV News has found the relatives of today’s terrorists. Here come the excuses.
And of course, it wouldn’t be a terrorist atrocity without the passing out of sweets among the majority of moderate, peace seeking, Palestinians.
Update 13:15: This is a bit of a conundrum: Jon Williams, the foreign editor for ABC in New York has tweeted out that there has never been an attack inside a synagogue. There have, of course, been attacks on other places of worship and including Yeshivot (plural for Yeshiva). A Yeshiva is a place specifically for studying religion. It’s very much splitting of hairs to say a Synagogue has never been attacked.
There have been a couple right outside (the one on Motzash in Geulah/Mea Shearim); Park Hotel bombing was during a seder; Merkaz HaRav shooting was in a yeshiva.
Update 13:38: Jonathan Sacerdoti is watching the BBC in London
Jeremy Bowen, BBC News: “Yes it’s a horrendous attack of course you know I’ve seen pictures from the scene with meat cleavers used and four dead, it’s er, it’s a ghastly scene, but…”
BBC’s Jeremy Bowen thinks it important to mention “a Palestinian bus driver killed yesterday as well.”
So far most news sources have reported this as a suicide. He was found hanged in his own bus, and the post mortem which declared it suicide was carried out with Palestinian representation present.
Update 14:43: I guess we should point out what Hamas are sending out to their followers.
Update 15:00: From the Reuters correspondent in Palestine/Israel (note the word order) Noah Browning comes this side by side comparison of burning the Koran with the slaughtering of praying Jews (I guess some books were harmed in the murdering of these people). Stay classy Reuters.
Update 15:18 (Aussie Dave): More of this:
Update 15:24 (Aussie Dave): Abumination does not disappoint:
Violence today shows that Israel’s policy of terror, land theft, collective punishment & mass murder of children can never bring “security.”
— Ali Abunimah (@AliAbunimah) November 18, 2014
Update 17:00 (Aussie Dave): I am not sure if this was deliberate, but this Dutch Reporter uploadeded his report of the events in the category ‘Comedy’ on Youtube, and, despite being informed of this, has not changed it over 4 hours later.
Update 21:55 (Aussie Dave): New shameful reactions posted here.
Oh, but the CNN caption is entirely understandable. Every place of prayer to the true G-d IS a mosque. Once things are put right, all houses of prayer WILL be mosques. CNN, being the egalitarian universalists they are, look forward to that happy day.
I would kill them all myself if I could. With fire. Feh.
This was a Yeshiva too. So the Arabs have never, technically, attacked a Synagogue. Just a bunch of 12-year-old girls at a bat-mitzvah party. Just a baby in a stroller. Just a school bus. Look, they understand our religion full well. They know what we consider holy, and that is what they attack.
Of course they were harassing them They were Jews, polluting it with their presence, and making the outrageous claim that Islam had nor invalidated their claim to the place. Moslem replacement theology is alive and well.
PS – Maybe we should start pointing out that Al-Asqua is actually probably a mosque in Arabia? I strongly recommend from now on referring to it as the alleged al-Asqua mosque, or “the mosque some Arab extremists consider to be al-Asqua”.
Let’s not forget the many times Arabs have thrown rocks from Har Habayis down at Jews praying at the Kotel. Don’t those count as attacks in a house of worship?
This emphasizes that the separation between the men and women in the Plaza, that makes it a synagogue, is an act of sovereignty. One of the supposed causes for the (partially successful) 1929 massacre by the Arabs of Chevron of the Jewish community there was a temporary separation put up by the Irgun. Another “cause” was fake pictures showing “Al-Quds” destroyed. They value piles of stones; we value people.
Over the past 21 years, we’ve seen what the Palestinians have done with the autonomy generously granted to them by Israel. They’ve slaughtered Israeli grandmothers and toddlers, pregnant women and elderly rabbis. They’ve set off their nail-studded, rat poison-laced bombs in shopping malls, disco’s, pizzeria’s, cafe’s and university cafeterias. They’ve turned school buses into blazing infernos, invaded home and shot mothers and children in their beds.
They’ve butchered Jews praying in a synagogue.
They’ve dragged 13-year-old boys to caves and stoned them to death. Those Arabs who don’t actually pull the triggers, detonate the bombs or do the stoning, celebrate the atrocities in the streets of Ramallah and Jenin, as they danced in those same streets when other Arabs crashed two planes into the World Trade Center. These Palestinian sadists even built an exhibition celebrating the Sbarros massacre. When do you think the Arabs will realize that murdering Israeli pizza-eaters, dance-club people, school kids, teenagers and sleeping five-year-olds is barbaric.
Do these Arabs have any humanity?
The Palestinians have truly showed the Islamo Nazis they are.

Beyond Depraved: Palestinians Praise Infant Murderer
October 28, 2014 by Ari Lieberman 25 Comments
here’s one in french: it says the two palestinians are among the 7 victims.
don’t know if you can see it tho, it’s a screen shot taken by julien bahloul of i24 and it’s of afp/nouvelobs.
One bit of good news is that Kerry condemned the attack without his usual ifs, ands and buts. Abbas did attach these appendages to his perfunctory condemnation. If he hadn’t condemned the attack, then it would be glaring that the peace partner has no clothes.
Not so Obama. Not so Putin. Not so the Pope. Not so the reporter on Israel Army Radio. YES SO HARPER.
The issue with Abbas is that the Communist PLFP claimed blame, and that is part of the PLO, and that is he. That is the PA. Should we bomb Ramallah?
How do the Palestinians raise so many people who have no regard for human life? What kind of gutter do these animals come from? What kind of Evil could think it is an act of heroic and religious martyrdom to slaughter children waiting for buses, to blow apart people in their sleep, to kill women doing their marketing, to massacre Jews praying and glorify butchering 3 month old Jewish baby Chaya Braun. .
Why do the Palestinians clamor like vultures to take credit when they butcher Israeli school kids on a school bus? Through the Palestinians hate, an entire generation has lost the capacity for humanity.
How does so much of the West support them?
Western supporters are even worse because they know better, yet actively contort the values they were raised with to rationalize and justify evil.
in Jerusalem or any other city or land that had ever belonged to the Jews. That is why Jerusalum is NEVER mentioned in the quran! That is why Arabs are NOT native to our land and have no ties to Jeruselum!!!
Over many hundreds of years, the Muslims who left the Middle East became less barbaric and Islam became more Westernized. These Muslims would be considered the moderates and peaceful ones today.
However, it’s not this generation of “palestinians” that are losing their humanity; they are reverting to following the old, basic, barbaric religion that has been practiced all along throughout most of the Middle East (although most Westerners refused to believe it) and has been waiting all this time to take revenge in order to make the entire world Muslim under Sharia Law!!! AND NOW MOST OF THE WORLD IS HELPING THEM DO IT!!!!
The answer is actually quite simple and basic! All Muslim’s, whether they call themselves the artificially-made group known as “palestinians” or not, follow the religion of Islam which is a totally foreign religion and culture to the Western religions and cultures of Judaism and Christianity which are related. The core of Islam is a foreign god, Allah, who is WORSHIPPED BY KILLING!!! ANY DISHONORABLE ACT IS ENCOURAGED if the end result is a conversion to Islam, even a forced conversion!!!
When the Arabs came out of Arabia in the 7th century and conquered and forcibly converted to Islam most of the Middle East, they had no particular interest
I thought the CBC headline was one of the worst I’d ever seen, but this CNN screenshot (source http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/187600#.VGtz9PmUfUV ) is not for believing.
The headline across the screen says: “ISRAELI GOVT. RADIO: POLICE SHOT, KILLED 2 PALESTINIANS”
Dont forget, In 2002 Ruth Peled, 56 and her granddaughter Sinai Kenan, a 14-month-old baby were murdered by Palestinian homicide bombers in Tel-Aviv while they were eating icecream.
CNN interviewd the mother of the Palestinian homicide bomber who massacred Ruth Peled and Sinai. Ofcourse the mother praised her Islamo Nazi son who murdered these defenseless Jews.
CNN promised to interview the mother of a 14-month-old Sinai but they never did.
So we have CNN only interviewing the mass murdering Palestinians to do their propaganda for them.
Israel needs to kick CNN out Now.
Here’s another CNN atrocity:
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/187600#.VGtzqnj8KFY
Yossi Dagan, the head of media relations for the Samaria Regional Council called to have the reporter’s credentials revoked.
BTW, last I heard there is no proof the Koran WAS torched.
It’s not clear whether the reporter provided the headline. Typically it’s not.
Maybe just kick CNN out altogether.
We’ve had Al Jazeera, at least until they started providing ranging information. The problem is – you kick them out, they start repeating the lies unvarnished. And our own press has a large share of the blame, including people funded by my Israeli tax money.
No Jewish nation can be at peace when it is surrounded by Islamo fascists. The question you should be asking is, when has there been a day in history when muslims have ever been at peace with non-muslims?
You probably have me on shadow ban but there have been official requests to pull Ben Wedeman’s press card and expel him from the country.
Remember what Kahane said,
I prefer an Israel hated by everybody than in Auschwitz loved by all.”
Right now Chaim Ben Pesach who is the successor to Kahane has been barred from entering Israel by the people who run Israel.
That includes Likud, Kadima and Labor.
Chaim Ben Pesach wants to use all out force to stop these Islamo killers from terrorizing Israel and Ben Pesach wants a death penalty for Muslims who murder Jews.
Here’s a video from Chaim from last week which talks how he would stop Arab terrorists from murdering Israeli civilians.
This is a must hear.

Actually an Israeli PM also said that. I think Golda Meir? The question is which hill to (avoid) die on.
Here’s a positive. Although the headline is slightly skewed to push a gun rights agenda (the opposite of the general media which hides any use of guns to save people) note that the story is: Terrorists murdered Americans in a synagogue.
Here’s the first paragraph:
A terror attack was carried out by two Palestinian terrorists today at a synagogue in Jerusalem, leaving four dead, three of whom were Americans identified as Aryeh Kupinsky, Kalmen Levin and Rabbi Moshe Twersky. Nine others were wounded.
