At a cabinet meeting on Sunday, Netanyahu said he will discuss with Obama “possible progress with the Palestinians, or at least stabilising the situation with them, and, of course, strengthening the security of the state of Israel”. Not only is this a mountainous lie; it is an attempt on the part of the Palestinian Authority leadership to deceive the world into believing that Israel’s mighty security forces killed these poor innocent terrorists who were merely part of a peaceful protest against those very bad Israeli “occupiers”.
For Israeli security forces, stones and firebombs pose a potentially deadly threat.

This is the center of the conflict, said Baker Tamimi, owner of a fabric shop beside the Jewish settlements. The victim made his way to his vehicle and drove to a nearby crossing between Israel and the West Bank.
THE chilling moment a Palestinian woman reaches into her handbag to pull out an enormous knife before lunging at an Israeli guard at a West Bank checkpoint has been caught on tape.
The government should take a clear stand against Israel and exert more pressure to end the oppression on the Palestinians, a Maltese NGO said today.
Al-Sharawi, a mother of seven, was the widow of Fuad al-Sharawi, a Palestinian killed by Israeli forces in 1988 during the first intifada.
“Now is the time for the Palestinian Authority to take concrete steps to avoid further violence”, read the letter.
“You have to register your name and ID number, and get a number at the checkpoint”. The soldiers confiscated computers, mixers, recorders and trashed the offices.
Station manager Osman Halawi said the station was shut down not for incitement but because it broadcast on its Web site video that suggested Israeli forces planted a knife on a Palestinian after he was shot.
