Well isn’t this nice: The 18-year-old palestinian who attempted to murder Israelis in Tel Aviv yesterday entered Israel on a day permit obtained via an Israeli organisation that brings Palestinians to Israel for special visits to promote peace and co-existence, called Natural Peace Tours.
Does not sound like peace and co-existence came naturally to him.
Now it is being reported that the group has pledged “to reassess its screening mechanism to ensure its day-trips program is not used to aid terrorism in the future.”
Following the revelation, NPT announced it was investigating the incident, and would be temporarily suspending its tour programs inside Israel.
“We’re working with governmental agencies who approved the entry permit,” an NPT spokesperson told Army Radio. “We will be much more careful. For the time being we have halted our activities, like the [Defense Ministry’s] Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories requested.”
And sure enough, NPT’s two Facebook pages are now both out of commission.
This news comes not long after we learned of the palestinian cancer patient trying to smuggle in explosives inside spools of medical material.
Peace and co-existence with the palestinians is going to be unattainable while they continue to exploit our desire for peace and co-existence.
