Palestinian Terrorist Attempts To Kill Soldier There To Protect Him

idf olive harvestThe palestinians are constantly claiming “settlers” hack their olive trees. These are more often than not libels.

Nevertheless, the IDF are a common presence at the olive harvests – except unlike the little old ladies there to provide the media with a photo opp – the soldiers are there to help protect the palestinian olive farmers.

This is important context for what you are about to read.

Israeli soldier was stabbed and lightly to moderately wounded Friday morning in the Gush Etzion settlement bloc, south of Jerusalem.

According to the Hebrew-language Maariv website, the victim, a 20-year-old man, was stabbed in the shoulder. The attacker was shot and wounded by the soldier.

According to an initial investigation, the soldier had been guarding an olive harvest near the settlement of Neve Michael when he was attacked, Channel 2 reported. The soldier shot his assailant in the knee after the attack.

And according to Ha’aretz, the injured soldier was Bedouin.

So what we have here is yet another example of palestinian terrorists biting the hand that feeds them. Any humanitarian gesture on our part is merely an opportunity to kill or maim.

  1. I keep asking why Bibi Netanyahu wants Jew-hating Arabs to be your next-door neighbors, Dave. Put them on the other side of secure national borders and they can guard their own olive trees.

    1. It’s the “secure national borders” bit that’s the problem. We withdrew totally from Gaza, gave them the means to build a thriving society, and got attacks in return. Not too keen on giving them the ability to do the same thing right next to the part of the country where most of the population lives.

        1. Hypnosis seems to be working for you. You’re completely oblivious to the inherent security problems the status quo creates for Israelis.

          1. Is that so? I happen to think that you are the one hypnotized & obsessed with Bibi just because he’s doesn’t give a hoot to your kind of condescending narcissistic lecturing crap.

          2. You’re missing the larger point. The “Palestinians” have not, will not, and it appears will never, recognize Israel as the Jewish Nations HOME State. If we grant them a separate State that they will only accept as Judenrein to begin with, all we are going to be dealing with is a terrorist platform on steroids.

            Until the “Palestinians” change their mentality a Two-State solution is not a solution but a recipe for much greater violence. And likely the Pals will die by the thousands. In a way, we’re saving them from themselves.

            1. I understand full well the Palestinian narrative, their leadership’s incitement to hate Jews and their refusal to accept the right of Israel to exist. I also understand the natural reluctance of Israelis to acquiesce to the establishment of what they believe would become a terror state poised to strike heavy, murderous blows on the Israelis.

              What I don’t understand is why you would take the approach Netanyahu does in the face of this reality. Build settlements on disputed land while giving lip service to supporting the two-state solution. ( Israelis themselves know he doesn’t mean it; that’s how he got re-elected last time.) Alienate your closest, most important ally in the world, the United States, further isolating Israel internationally and making military, diplomatic and economic cooperation more difficult. And finally, doing relatively little to physically separate Israelis and the Arab terrorists who are trying to murder them. This is Bibi’s status quo as I see it.

              1. That’s special. You do live in an alternative universe. In a post above, when cba mentioned Gaza’s disengagement, you immediately criticized it: it was unilateral, there was no negotiation, blah-blah-blah. No talk about the FACT that settlements were dismantled, Israel left and Gazans voted for Hamas, that started showering rockets on Israel. That’s ALWAYS the same pattern. No matter what Israel proposes, there will be people like you complaining while claiming to be concerned with Israel’s security. And still you come up with such inanities as “Bibi should come up with a better solution”. WTF! Talk about some “people that are never satisfied”.

                Now, YOUR president famously set redlines about Assad’s behavior in Syria but he didn’t do sh*t about. Do you think he really meant it? Do you think his behavior undermines the US credibility and security? Did it alienate allies? Do you think it encouraged Putin’s involvement?

                Try to be less obsessed with Bibi and check your own garden for a change.

                1. When Jews are being stabbed just for being Jews by their Arab neighbors, that’s a problem for the Jews. It’s clear Abbas is not going to do anything, so who do you expect to do something about it, Ban Ki Moon of the UN? Drawing redlines in Syria and then doing nothing about it once they were crossed made Obama look weak and ineffective and I said so here in the Comments Section of Israelly Cool. I stated a fact regarding the disengagement of Gaza that supported my position on a need for Israel to establish secure national borders in repsonse to CBA. I talk about Bibi a lot here because, guess what, it’s a blog about Israel! Bibi’s name is going to come up from time to time. Deal with it.

                  1. Calm down, dude. Your obsession with Bibi is YOUR problem. YOU deal with it.

                    Now, if you recognize that even the genius Obummer, whose country is not even remotely in danger of destruction, could not keep his word, you should cut Bibi some slack when he needs to deal with a complex situation as the I-P conflict. But, demanding even a little fairness from the progressive-from-Iowa is a bit too much.

                    1. Donald Trump, upon learning he was no longer leading the polls among Iowa Republicans, pointed out that it must be Monsanto’s fault for producing genetically-modifed corn that has affected the brains of the people of Iowa. So there is that to consider as well.

                  2. ahad_ha_amoratsim

                    No, you talk about Bibi because you have absorbed the Obama/Kerry/NYT slander that he is a war mongering racist expansionist standing in the way of peace, who could make a deal if he only wanted to.

                    1. I admit to having pointed out that Bibi has a bit of a weight problem due to his love for pistachio ice cream, but I don’t believe I’ve used that precise construction in describing him that you cite in your comment.

              2. ahad_ha_amoratsim

                Building settlements on disputed land? Tel Aviv is disputed land. And settlement growth under Bibi is lower than it has been in 10 years or more, and is limited to adding new apartments in existing ‘settlements’ without expanding their footprint, in areas that will realistically stay with Israel in any future peace agreement. And those new apartments are barely enough to keep up with natural growth rates in those towns. The alternative is either Chinese style mandatory abortion or forcing kids who grow up in those towns to move out when they are ready to have families of their own. But what the heck, it’s just Jews.

                1. And, gee, settlements were dismantled in Gaza! Wasn’t the whole issue about “occupation”? Nah, it still is an open-air concentration camp, just like Auschwitz.

                2. It’s not just me describing the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) as disputed land, it’s the government of Israel. Without a negotiated settlement leading to a two-state solution, Israel will drift into a default one-state solution incorporating millions of Arabs with a deep hatred of the country they have become an integral part of without any say in the matter.

                    1. I do not like green eggs and ham, Sam I am. Or palarabs as my neighbors. I do not want them on my borders. I do not want them on my shoulders. I do not like green eggs and ham, Sam I am. Or palarabs for neighbors.

                  1. the koran is the problem

                    The Quran Dehumanizes Non-Muslims
                    and Says that They are Vile Animals

                    The Ayatollah Khomeini, who dedicated his entire life to studying Islam, said that non-Muslims rank somewhere between “feces” and the “sweat of a camel that has consumed impure food.” Small wonder. The Quran dehumanizes non-Muslims, describing them as “animals” and beasts:

                    Those who disbelieve from among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, will be in Hell-Fire, to dwell therein (for aye). They are the worst of creatures. (98:6)

                    Surely the vilest of animals in Allah’s sight are those who disbelieve, then they would not believe. (8:55)

          3. ahad_ha_amoratsim

            “Your imaginary solution to the problem can’t be implemented for the following reasons, and even if it were implemented, it would make the problem worse, not better.”
            Jim’s response: “You simply oblivious to the problem.”

              1. ahad_ha_amoratsim

                Who are you calling anti-Semantic? Don’t you realize Arabs are Semantics, too?
                (Sorry, channeling the usual suspects.)

          4. The only acceptable position of non-Muslims to Muslims is subjugation under Islamic rule:

            Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. (9:29 Jizya is the money that non-Muslims must pay to their Muslim overlords in a pure Islamic state.)

            A common criticism of many Muslims is that they often behave arrogantly toward others. Now you know why.

            1. Let’s agree that you work your side of the street and I work mine. Believe anything the voices in your head are telling you to do, but don’t try to paint me as a pro-Palestinian advocate, ok? Because if that was what I was trying to do, I would be a huge failure at it. I NEVER advocate for Palestinian rights here. I NEVER advance a pro-Palestinian narrative here. I have a pro-Israel bias which I have admitted to over and over in the Comments Section of IsraellyCool for years now. Is any of this coming through to you?

              1. don’t try to paint me as a pro-Palestinian advocate, ok?

                A. I did this where?

                B. What is a ‘pal’?

                C. Please comment on islam

      1. Sharon withdrew from Gaza but there was no negotiated peace settlement establishing secure national borders that followed. The status quo creates the condition where an Israeli doesn’t know whether the Arab pizza delivery guy is bringing a pepperoni pizza or is going to stab you. The present situation has got Israelis so on edge that Jews are killing Jews by mistake. There’s gotta be a better way than Bibi’s status quo approach.

        1. How is Israel supposed to do that, when in order to get Abbas to even sit at the damned table they insist that Israel agree to their demands AS A STARTING POINT.

          1. The Palestinians are definitely a big part of the problem contributing to the current impasse. New leadership would help, but also fewer international terrorist enablers like BDS and UNWRA would make it more likely a negotiated two-state solution could be accomplished. In the mean time, Bibi has to come up with a better solution of how to keep Israelis safer from their Arab neighbors.

            1. ahad_ha_amoratsim

              How are things in Fantasy Land? Do you ever take side trips to Adventure Land or Frontier Land? Say hi for me to Mickey, Uncle Walt and especially Goofy.

        2. ahad_ha_amoratsim

          Ah, so all Bibi needs to do is negotiate a peace agreement, including secure national borders, with people who refuse to even meet with an Israeli leader of either party and who object to Israel’s entire existence, in any borders, as illegitimate.

          1. No, you don’t get it. The magnanimous-from-Iowa demands that Bibi come up with a better solution. Maybe he should send a letter to Bibi.

    2. ahad_ha_amoratsim

      Eah, Bibi is all that stands in the way of a peaceful solution.
      Jim, where are these secure national borders you speak of? Out of curiosity, have you ever spent 15 minutes in Israel? Did you get out of Tel Aviv and the coastal plane while you were there? Do you have any idea what the country looks like? You seem about as informed as the Long Island girl I dated in college, who was shocked that Wisconsin did not have cattle ranges, bison and Indians on horseback, being part of the middle west.

      1. Iowa is frequently confused with Idaho and Ohio by my fellow Americans, so I can relate. I have never visited Israel, but I can find it on a map. Hope that clarifies things.

  2. Al-Beeb style headline: “One Arab stabbed, another shot in West Bank”
    it could even be improved:
    “One Arab stabbed, another shot in West Bank, while collecting olives.”

    I feel badly for the Beduin, some of them really get it at both ends. They’re obviously a lot smarter than the Pal-Arabs, though, because they picked the side that actually cares for them.
