hree months after a ramming incident near the town of Ataret in the Binyamin region left two Jewish Israelis injured, the legal aid organization Honenu revealed that one of the two Arab passengers in the suspected vehicle is a released terrorist.

The disclosure has intensified criticism by the organization against the Israeli security establishment, after the IDF and ISA reportedly declined to classify the incident as a nationalist vehicular attack. Instead, the case was transferred to the police traffic division and investigated as a routine traffic accident.

The incident occurred during Ramadan, when a Jewish couple was riding an ATV along the roadside near Ataret. According to the victims’ testimony, an approaching Arab vehicle noticed them, accelerated, sharply veered out of its lane, crossed into the opposite lane and struck them at the side of the road.

As a result of the collision, the young woman riding on the ATV was thrown approximately seven meters into a nearby wadi and sustained serious injuries.

Despite the victims’ account, the suspects in the vehicle were not arrested. Traffic investigators reportedly collected statements from them at the scene but did not detain them for further questioning.

Following the revelation regarding one of the passengers, attorney Haim Bleicher of Honenu sent an urgent letter to Central Command chief Avi Bluth and to the commander of the Judea and Samaria Police District, demanding the immediate arrest of the two suspects and the transfer of the investigation to the ISA.

In the letter, Bleicher warned that the continued failure to arrest the suspects poses “an immediate danger to the security of Israeli civilians and security forces in the area."

He also sharply criticized the conduct of the authorities, writing, “The system's avoidance of investigating the terrorists constitutes a failure and a serious security danger....

This has happened before. When I was living in Kiryat Arba, a vehicle pulled up beside a neighbor of ours with a baby on board, and threw a huge rock through their windshield. The car sped up and capsized, and both the man and baby were killed. Police spent months claiming it was a traffic accideent, 'til they finally called a spade a spade.

On another road, wonderful family man was driving along, and teenagers were chucking pebbles at his car. He took out a club of some sort to teach the whipersnappers a lesson, scare them off, and he was run down by a passing truck, which backed up and ran over him again and again.I saw the non-sanitized pictures, later taken down. Ths, too, was a "traffic accident" until they were forced to admit that it was murder.

“Why We Fight”

IDF officers said to tell PM Jewish terror accounts for up to 80% of West Bank incidents

Jewish terror? 🤔

This sounds awful familiar. Must we always imitate American idiocy?

Must we always imitate American idiocy?

The fact that the IDF identified four out of five of these type incidents in the West Bank as perpetrated by Jewish settlers has NOTHING to do with America or Americans.

Try again.

No? You mean, 80% of domestic terrorism IS perpetrated by white supremacists in America? See the parallel yet?

This is getting old. Four incidents out of five in Judah and Samaria, which I doubt would stand real scrutiny. Not impressed.

Jihadi terror incidents have been ongoing for over a hundred years, counting from 1921, but starting long before that. Try the Damascus blood libel and region-wide pogroms in 1841. Sometimes daily, sometimes with multiple fatalities, you have Jihadi terror. Sometimes prolonged campaigns that predate the declaration of a Jewish state.

Jihad with an automobile. Excuses made. Nothing to see here. Keep moving. Proceed with caution.
