You have to hand it to the palestinians. They do everything in their power to make life harder for themselves.
An Israel Defense Forces soldier stationed at the Hawara checkpoint, south of the West Bank city of Nablus, sustained mild facial injuries on Wednesday, after a Palestinian woman poured an acidic substance in his face.
The soldier was taken to the Rabin Medical Center in Petah Tikva for treatment.
The woman arrived at the Hawara checkpoint and attempted to cross into Israel using the humanitarian aid lane, which is meant for emergencies and therefore has no security checks. Upon approaching the soldier manning the lane, she threw the acid at his face and then ran back towards Nablus.
Let me guess. It was not her fault, since due to the oppressive Israeli “siege”, the woman was not able to attend university classes, resulting in a decline in her reading level. So when she saw “aid lane”, she read “acid lane.”
Alternatively, this was another cynical palestinian attempt to exploit Israeli humanitarian gestures.
I’m going with number 2.
Please keep this in mind next time you read of palestinian complaints that their women are strip-searched at checkpoints.
Update: Hopefully, you will now understand why things like this occur.
Update: The palestinian IMEMC reports that the woman poured “chemical water”, before launching into a diatribe about checkpoints.
