Why is the world ignoring a wave of terror in Israel? (150 terror attacks in 48 hours)
The Telegraph ^ | 1:25PM BST 09 Oct 2015 | By Arsen Ostrovsky

Attacks like these do not occur in a vacuum. Such acts of pitiless slaughter are the direct result of a pervasive Palestinian infrastructure

In the last week, my country, Israel, including our capital, the Holy City of Jerusalem, have come under an unprecedented wave of Palestinian terror.

A week ago, Eitam and Na’ama Henkin were brutally executed by Palestinian terrorists point-blank in their car. Their four children, Matan, 9, Nitzan, 7, Neta, 4, and Itamar, 9 months old, who are now orphaned, were still in the back seat and miraculously unharmed. Their lives are now irreparably altered.

Days later, two more Israelis were stabbed to death in Jerusalem. One of the men killed was holding his two year old child at the time. More lives and families torn apart.

Two weeks ago, Alexander Levlovitz, who was on his way home after Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year) dinner, was murdered when Palestinian youths threw rocks at his car and he lost control.

Over the past 48 hours in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and virtually all parts of Israel, we have had over 150 terror attacks, including stabbings, shootings, stones thrown and vehicular rammings.

Yet somehow the international community is silent in the face of this terror onslaught against my people. Is our blood cheaper? Do Jewish lives not matter?

Let there be no mistakes, ifs, buts or maybes. We are being targeted for one reason and one reason only: we are Jews.

I understand Europe has a number of pressing concerns, including Islamic State and the wave of Syrian refugees, but what about us? Do we not count?

Many leaders, especially in Europe, are quick to condemn Israeli settlements, yet sure take their time to utter a muddied, equivocal word of condemnation against these terror attacks.

> kill palestinians by the thousands and then apologize

No apologies. The Russians NEVER apologize. They get respect.

Hitler, Arafat, & the Grand Mufti are laughing in Hell.

I don't think anyone LAUGHS in Hell. Too busy screamin'.

Maybe a little attention could be drawn to the non-coverage if we all submitted letters to the editor of our local newsrag... < /sarc >

This is Obama’s fault . His order to have Kerry and Power walk out on Bibi’s speech to the United Nations basically told Abbas that he could do anything .

Abbas is inciting these people . These people behave this way and have time to do these things because they are the world welfare case . They have everything handed to them and since they don’t have to work they have plenty of time to do nothing but mischief . Congress needs to cut all funding to these murderers .It sickens me that we keep rewarding these people ..

Israel needs to protect their own citizens . The world will never side with them so they need to ignore the world and do the right thing . By rewarding them with a seat at the United Nations the world has emboldened them . It’s time Israel makes them behave like a country and provide for their own . Stop giving them electricity , let them build their own plant so they don’t have money to build tunnels .
Stop providing them with clean water , let them dig their own wells . Shoot anyone caught throwing stones or attempting to stab anyone on the spot .

I’ve always heard it as:

It’s better to seek forgiveness than permission.

And the corollary:

Tis better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

It may be a perfect time for Israel to seriously erupt and clean out troublesome areas, driving the palestinians all the way back thru Jordan if necessary. With Russia engaged in Syria,,,no one is seriously going to help the Palestinians when they start dealing with the serious blow back Israel is heaping on them. They’ll yell and cry but the big story will be Russia, so the Pali’s will have no voice! The world will be too busy reacting to what Russia is doing including its apparent difficulties with Turkey right now!
