“He had this lost look about him”, said Zelenkov. “Until yesterday I thought all the troubles were ‘there.’ I thought it had nothing to do with me”. Palestinians said the station had urged people to join stone-throwing demonstrations but nothing more.

“It’s not an organized campaign against Israel”, he said. They use a twisted form of Israeli justice called “extrajudicial killing”, or murder outside the rule of law.
One sad thing, of course, is that it is happening at all.
They condemn Palestinian violence, but ignore or minimize Israeli violence. “We have always advocated a peaceful resolution of all disputes”.
Israel says the barrier, which stretches inside the West Bank, is necessary for security, while Palestinians brand it an “apartheid wall”.
In contrast, not only has the Palestinian leadership never believed in peaceful co-existence, but it has constantly indulged in racist incitement, and often violence, to try to eliminate Israel. People like Elie Wiesel, whose voices could reign in the violence and bring it to a halt, have chosen to defend Israel by not speaking out.
Sixty-eight Palestinians, nine Israelis, and an Arab Israeli have been killed in a wave of unrest since the start of October. His statements gave Palestinian terrorists the justification they wanted to begin a campaign of senseless violence against innocent Israelis.
Last month, Israeli forces arrested more than 1,500 Palestinians, the Israeli army stated.
Day by day new Israeli settlements crop up on land that still belongs to Palestinians. It seemed apparent that Israel was creating a de-facto army of extremist Zionist settlers who would not hesitate to massacre all “Arabs” at any perceived provocation.
“It is not a sterile environment here, but each incident has a weapon”, she said.
It’s a sentiment shared by much of mainstream Israel. In at least two instances, this wasn’t the case, Israeli authorities have conceded. Israel’s apartheid policies and its descent into hard-line fascism could eventually collapse this radical house of cards and plunge the country into a civil war. When the IDF moves, the PSF “go to the museum” in the words of one Palestinian – staying off the streets and letting Israel get on with its unilaterally defined mission.
On Tuesday, the Israeli army attempted to storm a number of schools in the area, but the administrations stopped them.
“Mohammed Allan has just been released”, Sivan Weizman, a spokeswoman for Israel Prisons Service, said in a message. The alternative would be a binational state in which Arabs eventually outnumber Jews, which would force Israel to choose between being a Jewish or democratic state.
A Palestinian careened his auto into an Israeli Border Police officer north of Hebron on Wednesday in the latest terror attack to occur near the restive West Bank city. “If they have problems at home, it’s easy to take a knife from the kitchen and attack a soldier or a Jewish civilian”.
The Ministry also said that 2372 Palestinians were shot with live rounds and rubber-coated steel bullets, including many who suffered fractures and bruises after being repeatedly beaten by soldiers and paramilitary settlers in the West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem.
He stabbed an 80-year-old woman in the back and then a 31-year-old man in the chest, seriously wounding both, and after failing to enter Zelenkov’s clothing shop, stabbed another man inside the adjacent cosmetics store before bystanders finally took him down. The Israeli authorities have closed the main street in the city, Shuhada Street, to Palestinians.
Israel is not just racist against its Israeli-Arabs; its institutions are built around ethnic elitism, whereby specific segments of the population are deemed worthier socially and politically than others.
Although Israel and Jordan initially said cameras would be installed within days, the plan now appears delayed, with Jordan’s King Abdullah II saying they wouldn’t be in place for a few six weeks.
The increasing frequency of these acts has sparked the creation of local Palestinian village self-defense units to try to do what their security forces can not.

Pavel Leiderman, 39, said the Palestinian goal was “attrition”.
