Israel’s new national religious government has proposed some harsh responses to the Jerusalem synagogue attack. But what counts are the results.
War on Terror
Palestinian terror attacks in Jerusalem at the weekend were labeled “lone wolf” attacks. That’s a mistake, but it’s an easy one to make.
Stern warning issued by Israeli defense minister won’t help to deter heavily-indoctrinated and well-rewarded Palestinian terrorists.
Col. (res.) David Hacham also says Hamas cannot continue to play a “double game” of inciting terrorism in Jerusalem while keeping Gaza quiet.
The anti-Bibi resistance at home is helping foes abroad blame the Netanyahu government, not the terrorists, for the Jerusalem massacre.
Netanyahu approves expanded gun licensing, but warns Israelis against vigilantism and taking the law into their hands.
Meanwhile the international community is playing its broken record of ignoring Palestinian instigation and blaming Israel for the escalation.
Jenin was the location of one of the most treacherous myths about Israel’s military conduct, and sadly, the lessons of that sordid episode haven’t been learned.
At least 9 Palestinians were killed when Islamic Jihad forces engaged IDF soldiers sent to arrest a terrorist commander.
During the arrest operation, Palestinians in the UN-administered camp threw stones at the soldiers.
