(IsraelNN.com) An IDF Major was rescued this afternoon (Monday) by PA police from a crazed Arab mob when he mistakenly entered the city of Jenin, in northern Shomron. Arab residents who first saw him and realized he was Israeli threw rocks at him, forced him out of his car and began beating him.
A Palestinian Authority policeman called for help, and PA forces rescued the Israeli. He was transferred safely to the Jalameh checkpoint north of Jenin, where the IDF received him.
The PA's Maan news agency reported that the officer entered the city from the west, driving a white Citroen tender - an IDF vehicle - and wearing an IDF uniform. He was first accosted by two PA policemen, who told him to get out of his car and accompany them to the city's police station. Shortly afterwards, residents burnt the car; its remains were later turned over to the IDF.
The Al-Quds Brigades of the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization condemned the PA for thwarting the attempt to "kidnap" the Israeli. The Jihadists also accused the PA of allowing four Israeli jeeps to enter the Jenin police headquarters and rescue the officer. "The security forces should be protecting the resistance fighters and the Palestinian nation from the guns of occupation," the Islamic Jihad statement read, "and not protecting the soldiers of the occupation."
Seven Years Ago, Six Weeks Ago The near-lynch was reminiscent of a tragic event that occurred nearly seven years ago, when two reserves soldiers were brutally lynched after making a wrong turn into Ramallah and being taken to the local police station. The two, Yosef Avrahami and Vadim Norzitch, were among the first victims of the Oslo War, launched by the Palestinian Authority in September 2000.
Just six weeks ago, too, Arabs in the PA-controlled city of Shechem, south of Jenin, happened upon two Israeli soldiers who mistakenly entered the Balata slums - and immediately began shooting at them. The driver made a quick U-turn, but several armed Arabs quickly took off in pursuit, shooting at them all the while with their Kalachnikov rifles. Seven bullets hit the IDF Toyota, and within seconds, the tires had been shot out and the Israelis found themselves driving on tire rims alone. The chase continued nearly up to the Hawara checkpoint, and only there did the officer and his driver manage to escape. The officer in the car was given some army prison time for his negligence.
Just try to imagine if they weren't the ROP. /sarc

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.
Meanwhile, who helps those clowns more than the terrorists they call gov’t? Israel. A guy could halfway blow himself up trying to take out Israelis and they would take him to the hospital in an attempt to save him.
Sewage overflow? Call Israel.
Your terror overlords killing each other in the streets?
Run to the crossing for Israel.
Sick.
I read this and can’t help asking myself... “and why do the Israelis allow the Palestinians to enter into Israel? because the surround world leaders (to include the U.S.) insist they be fair to the Palestinians.” meanwhile... no Israeli is permitted in any Arab territory. I don’t get it.
Well you know the same thing would have happened if some arabs had driven into Tel Aviv. Oh wait a minute... no it wouldn’t have.
Animals in the street...
I'm tagging this as an oxymoron.
There's not much difference between "crazed" and "Arab mob"
(Oxymorons are polar opposties put together, such as "jumbo shrimp", etc)
Why does the US allow Mexicans illegals in?
The answer to both questions is the same - cheap labor.
true... sad but true...
Your right. The PA forces risk their own lives to save a lost “Major” from a civilian mob.
You’re right. Dunce cap for me. LOL!
Sharia. The reason Muslims love Sharia is because discrimination is enshrined in its laws. The only people who have rights under Sharia are Muslim males. Any non-Muslims can be seized off the streets and murdered - Sharia makes that totally legal.
but Jews don’t fall under Sharia Law....
Jews, Christians, Hindus, atheists - it doesn’t matter. None of us would have any rights and the Muslims could kill us at will. The only reason they wouln’t kill all of us is that we’re heavily taxed under their system of Sharia. Why do you think nearly a million Jews, who had been living in Muslim dominated lands, fled to Israel between 1948 - 1968? It was because they were persecuted, just like what is happening to Christians and other religious minorities in the ME today. The Jihadists have gone nuts.
And our administration and Olmerde keep going on and on about the “peace process”, giving up even more of Israel’s land to the “palestinians” for a “just and fair peace with security for everyone and we’ll all hold hands and sing ‘Kumbaya’ and make huggy-bear/kissy-face”. HURL!
King David knew how to deal with such mobs.
