The United States on Monday condemned the two stabbing attacks in Tel Aviv and in Gush Etzion, while urging both Israelis and Palestinian Arabs to ease rising tensions.

"We strongly condemn the stabbing today in the West Bank, and we deeply regret the loss of life," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said, in a statement made before soldier Almog Shiloni, who was critically wounded in the Tel Aviv attack, died of his wounds.

"Our condolences go out to the victim's family. It is absolutely critical that parties take every possible measure to protect civilians and de-escalate tensions," added Psaki.

No idea. Probably in Jerusalem, Haifa or Tel Aviv.

I did a little research. There is an ice hockey league in Israel, but there is also ice hockey in Mexico. Obviously, they don't play hockey like they do in Canada, US, Finnland, Sweden, but I am sure they enjoy it. Now, if they could just get the Palis to behave, everyone will be better off.

Are ballistic or slash/stab garments/vests legal for civilians in Israel?

““It is absolutely critical that parties take every possible measure to protect civilians and de-escalate tensions”
Subtly done, eh?”

LOL, I didn’t read it, but I knew there was NO WAY that they could just blame the terrorists...not this bunch.

It all goes back to “root causes,” you see (it’s the Jews’ fault). /s

Thank you kindly.

[laplata]

You’re welcome.

Are you going to Israel?

[Mark17]

It will always be on my bucket list, but not sure if I will make it. I should have gone there when I was in Turkey. It would have been a much shorter distance to travel. I wanted to see where the Nazarene walked.

[laplata]

I’d also love to see where the Nazarene walked.

[morphing libertarian]

We went to Jerusalem, capharnum, Nazareth, and Jordan. But I also recommend Masada and the yehuda market in Jerusalem, places Jesus did not walk.

Very nice.
