Israeli man stabbed to death in a terror attack Thursday night | The Times of Israel

Clashes break out as IDF enters attacker's village, prepares to demolish house; 150 protesters throw rocks and Molotov cocktails; security at settlements to be increased

The Palestinians continually incite their people to violence. Then a 17 year old low life murders this man, the Israelis engage in reprisals against the people involved and Israel will be the bad guy. Then those same people will claim that there is no such thing as antisemitism. Is anyone else sick of this? It is WAY past time that Israel does something drastic to protect it;s people.

Another insane comment from the sleazebag that is supposed to be Israel's "partner in peace."

From the article:

"From the 11th century until the Holocaust that took place in Germany, the Jews – who moved to Western and Eastern Europe – were subjected to a massacre every 10 to 15 years. But why did this happen?” Abbas said on Monday, before interjecting, “The Jewish issue that was widespread in all European countries... was not because of their religion, but rather their social role related to usury and banks.”

Top White House official calls for end to '50-year occupation' | The Times of Israel

Chief of Staff McDonough says Israel's government must match 'words with actions and policies,' warns PM's statements can't be willed away

I try to keep this page as a-political as possible (aside from the obvious support of Israel) but: how do so many Jews continue to support the Obama administration? They repeat the rhetoric of, and have obvious sympathy for, the same people that wish to destroy Israel. Everyone, including the administration, acts as though Israel conquered something called "Palestine" in 1967. There has never, not for a second, been an independent nation called "Palestine." "Palestine" was the Roman word for that region, and not the name of a country. Israel's control of the West Bank is because it won the Six Day War in 1967. The war was with Jordan and the so called "West Bank," was part of Jordan. It was NOT part of a country called "Palestine." Jordan has since renounced its rights to that land. Therefore: there is no occupation. Aside from that, Israel has made multiple land concessions over the past 30 years which the administration consistently ignores.
