IS in Israel Part 2

Thank you, special mention needs to be made of the violence at tha Al Asqua mosque where over 150 Palestinians were injured by the Israli security forces.

Three Israeli policemen were also injured.

There is no Peace Process and if Islamists are allowed to call the shots in Palestine there never will be one.

ISIS attack kills two and injures six in Israel as Arab and Israeli officials hold historic summit

(CNN)ISIS operatives killed two people and injured six in a shooting attack Sunday in the Israeli city of Hadera, some 31 miles north of Tel Aviv, Israeli officials said.

The attack — the second of its kind in a week — coincided with a landmark regional summit in Israel's Negev desert, where top diplomats from the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, Egypt, Israel and the United States are meeting to discuss security issues.

"We condemn today's terrorist attack in Hadera, Israel," US Secretary of State Antony Blinken tweeted on Sunday from Israel. "Such senseless acts of violence and murder have no place in society. We stand with our Israeli partners and send our condolences to the families of the victims."

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, which quoted a post from the ISIS-affiliated Amaq news agency. Amaq posted a screengrab from a video that circulated on social media showing two masked men pledging allegiance to the leader of ISIS prior to the attack.

Amaq called the attack a "twin immersive commando attack by Islamic State Fighters," according to SITE. The last time ISIS claimed responsibility for an attack in Israel was in June 2017.

The two assailants, who were shot and killed by Israeli police, were from the Arab-majority Israeli city of Umm al-Fahm in the northern district of Haifa. An Israeli police spokesperson said the operatives fired at local police in Hadera, killing two passers-by. Police said the victims were

"A short while ago, two terrorists arrived on Herbert Samuel Street in Hadera and began firing at a local police force. As a result of the shooting, the deaths of 2 passers-by were determined," the spokesperson said.

"An undercover force that was at the scene sought contact and after a brief gun battle neutralized the terrorists," the spokesperson added.
The Hillel Yaffe Medical Center in Hadera said six people were injured in the attack, two of whom are in serious condition.

On Tuesday, an Arab-Israeli assailant killed four people in a stabbing attack in Israel's southern city of Beersheba before he was fatally shot by a passer-by, according to Israeli police. The assailant had previously been arrested for supporting ISIS, according to the Israeli judiciary.

Separately, tensions have been rising between Palestinians and Israelis in Jerusalem and the West Bank, especially as the coinciding holidays of Ramadan, Passover and Easter approach. Last year, clashes and tensions in Jerusalem during this time period helped trigger the latest conflict with Hamas-led militants in Gaza.

In Jerusalem, there have been at least three stabbing attacks since the start of the month against Israelis, while in the West Bank, at least nine Palestinians, including several teenagers, have been shot and killed in clashes with Israeli forces in recent weeks.

No, IS was just taking baby steps back then and it's absurd to think that they would have had the resources necessary for the high-energy destruction of the WTC buildings.

]srael deploys tear gas drones against al-Aqsa worshippers

Rocket fire from Gaza was reported late Friday after Israeli police used violent force against Palestinian worshippers following prayers at Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa mosque earlier in the day.

Israeli violence against Palestinians on the third Friday of Ramadan again threatened to spill over into Gaza.

There was a flurry of diplomacy following Israel’s attack on the holy site last week to try to prevent a full-scale confrontation in Gaza like the one that devastated the territory in May last year.

Those 11 days of heavy rocket fire from Gaza and Israeli bombardment of the territory was precipitated in large part by violence against Ramadan worshippers at al-Aqsa.

The situation remained precarious during the week as Israeli Jewish nationalists marched through Jerusalem on Wednesday chanting anti-Palestinian slogans such as “death to the Arabs.”

Later that evening, a rocket was fired from Gaza, landing in an open area near Sderot in southern Israel. Israel carried out air raids on Gaza early Thursday, which were followed by additional rocket and gunfire from the besieged territory.

No serious injuries were reported from Gaza or Israel.

Both Hamas, which oversees Gaza’s internal affairs, and Naftali Bennett, Israel’s prime minister, appear to be trying to avoid another major escalation.

However, Hamas officials reportedly told international mediators that continued violations at al-Aqsa could set off another military confrontation with Israel.

The resistance group has repeatedly called for mass Palestinian mobilization in defense of al-Aqsa and Jerusalem in recent days.

Palestinians confronted Israeli riot police stationed around the mosque complex in Jerusalem on Friday by throwing stones and setting off fireworks following dawn prayers.

Israeli police fired tear gas canisters, rubber-coated bullets and stun grenades towards Palestinians inside the complex but did not raid or fire into al-Aqsa mosque as they did last Friday.

More than 150 worshippers were injured last Friday, and more than 400 were arrested in the attack on the mosque that was documented in dozens of videos that circulated online.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society said that more than 30 Palestinians were injured, 14 of them hospitalized, this Friday, which marked the beginning of the last 10 days of Ramadan.

The al-Aqsa compound, where Israeli extremists have unsuccessfully sought to hold an animal sacrifice during the Jewish holiday of Passover, which ends on Saturday, is closed to non-Muslims during the final 10 days of the fasting month.

More than 150,000 Palestinians were reported to have attended afternoon prayers at al-Aqsa on Friday.

Videos published on social media show drones firing tear gas on crowds of worshippers at al-Aqsa mosque on Friday:

“Apartheid”

On Friday, a UN human rights expert blamed “international inaction” for escalated Israeli violence against Palestinians in recent weeks.

Michael Lynk, the UN special rapporteur on human rights in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, said that Israel’s decades-long occupation “has become indistinguishable from practices of apartheid” and “is based on the institutional discrimination of one racial-national-ethnic group over another.”

He added that “history teaches us the bitter lesson that prolonged and unwanted alien rule is invariably enforced by violence and resisted by violence.”

The office of the UN secretary-general, Antonio Guterres, meanwhile repeated well-worn words of “deep concern” on Wednesday.

Guterres’ spokesperson said that the official is “actively engaged with leaders to do all they can to lower tensions, inflammatory actions and rhetoric, and restore calm.”

Guterres’ Middle East envoy, Tor Wennesland, similarly emphasized de-escalation on Tuesday while drawing a false parity between Israeli occupation authorities, on the one hand, and Palestinians resisting colonial oppression, on the other.

He obliquely referred to the “spreading of misinformation and incitement” while imploring “leaders on all sides” to “reduce tensions, create the conditions for calm and ensure the status quo at [al-Aqsa] is protected.”

The Times of Israel noted that Wennesland’s references to misinformation and incitement are “nearly identical to the talking points used by Israeli officials” who say that Hamas and other parties are “stoking tensions” by claiming that Israel aims to change the status quo at al-Aqsa.

Palestinian observers point to a gaslighting campaign aimed at minimizing the real threat posed against the holy site by Jewish extremists who seek to destroy al-Aqsa and who enjoy the support of Israeli lawmakers.

An analysis by Nir Hasson, published by Haaretz, Israel’s leading newspaper, rejects the idea that Israel has “secret plans” to force Muslims out of al-Aqsa “and turn it into a site of Jewish worship.”

The argument goes that the so-called Temple Mount movement, which seeks the destruction of al-Aqsa and the building of a Jewish temple in its place, is a fringe group who are “unpopular with most Israelis.”

But as Zvi Bar’el, another Haaretz analyst observes, the seizure of Palestinian property around the mosque complex and Israeli construction around the holy site makes for a “realistic diagnosis” that a war over the holy site “is only a question of time.”

There is historical precedent for the upending of the status quo of a major Palestinian holy site.

After an American-born Jewish settler massacred 29 worshippers in Hebron’s Ibrahimi mosque in 1994, Israeli forces partitioned the holy site and shuttered the formerly bustling adjacent Old City.

Palestinians fear that without determined resistance, Israel will seize any opportunity to impose similar measures at al-Aqsa.
Teen dies after exchange of fire

Meanwhile on Friday, 18-year-old Lutfi Labadi died from his injuries four days after being wounded in the head by Israeli forces in Yamoun village near the northern West Bank city of Jenin.

A photo of Labadi circulated on social media after the announcement of his death:

Woman Critically Injured After Being Shot in Arab Town in Central Israel

The 33-year-old was shot three times by a masked assailant outside her home in the central Israeli city of Kalansua

A woman was critically injured on Saturday in the Arab town of Kalansua after being shot.

The 33-year-old was transferred to Meir Hospital in Kfar Sava with severe injuries while paramedics tried resuscitating her, a spokesperson for Israel's emergency service Magen David Adom said.

The woman was shot twice in the chest and once in the head by a masked assailant while getting out of her car at the entrance to her home, according to eyewitnesses and the paramedics. She was likely being followed, as the shooter came out of his car precisely at the moment she got out of hers, eyewitnesses added.

The woman's husband was murdered a few years ago on the beach in Netanya. It is still unknown who killed him, though police suspect it was linked to debts which he owed. No suspects were charged.

Israel Police suspect that she was shot over the same debts, and are investigating whether she filed any complaints of being threatened to the police.

According to the Abraham Initiatives, an NGO dedicated to furthering coexistence between Arabs and Jews in Israel, 23 people have been murdered in the Arab community since the beginning of 2022.

In 2021, 126 Arab citizens of Israel were killed in crime-related violence, according to the NGO, the highest year on record.



There is some blame to go all around, the question is: why do Israelis out-kill Palestinians by a huge margin. Ask me to prove that. There's a few UN reports that document that. But go ahead, ask me.

The individual who disputes this is also questioning the Holocaust, using some bullshit reference to Levitivus.

Who is it trying to fool?

What sort of moron would believe the UN oficials recording Nazi warcrimes would have to reference Leviticus?

The same sort of moron who blames Israel for 9/11.

It's not bullshit. Rabbi Benjamin Blech lays out their interpretation out 44:00 - 51:00. Also you're leaving out the fact that a threat relating to six million jews was written about in the public record before the Haavara transfer.

Ignore the moron.

Because anyone who contradicts you must be a moron, right?

We've seen more than a few around here.

I can imagine. The kvetching will continue, I expect.

When you do, it certainly does.

You aren't half as clever as you think you are.

How Israel uses Judaism as a settler-colonial weapon

https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/maureen-clare-murphy/israel-deploys-tear-gas-drones-against-al-aqsa-worshippers

Ali Abunimah From the Editors 23 April 2022


Since the start of Ramadan, Israel has carried out near-daily attacks on worshippers at the al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem, the third most revered site for Muslims all over the world.

Occupation forces, for example, terrorized worshippers with an assault during dawn prayers on the second Friday of Ramadan, smashing the mosque’s stained glass windows, and injuring more than 150 people.

It’s an alarming echo of what happened last year, when Israel’s attacks triggered a full-scale confrontation between Israel and Palestinians across their historic homeland.

Resistance groups in Gaza intervened in defense of Palestinians in Jerusalem, and Israel waged an 11-day bombing campaign in Gaza that left more than 250 Palestinians, including almost 70 children, dead.

I spoke to journalist Rania Khalek for her BreakThrough News show Dispatches about how the renewed Israeli onslaught – and the Palestinian response – is regularly misrepresented as “communal religious violence” or “clashes” between two roughly equal sides.

But what lies at the heart of the Israeli attack on al-Aqsa is its settler-colonial drive to conquer and control all of Palestine.
Growing fanaticism

The al-Aqsa mosque compound, or Haram al-Sharif, is believed by Jews to be the place where an ancient temple once stood – hence why Jews call it the Temple Mount.

Notwithstanding any Jewish religious beliefs about the site, al-Aqsa is in occupied East Jerusalem where under international law Israel has no sovereignty or jurisdiction whatsoever.

Israel’s control arises solely from military occupation, enforced from the barrel of a gun.

In recent years, fanatical Jewish groups have increasingly defied religious edicts by Israel’s chief rabbis banning Jewish prayer at the Haram al-Sharif.

This has been driven by the so-called Temple Movement, a Jewish nationalist push to take over the al-Aqsa mosque compound and build a new Jewish temple there.

In 1990, a Jewish extremist group called Temple Mount Faithful announced plans to lay a cornerstone for their new temple at the Haram al-Sharif. When Palestinians protested, Israeli occupation forces massacred more than a dozen of them and injured scores more.

Although Israel has attempted to assert control over the site ever since it occupied East Jerusalem in 1967, the fanatical Jewish movement has in recent years become increasingly mainstream, gaining the support of many Israeli politicians.
A dangerous precedent

Palestinians fear, at the very least, that Israel will forcibly partition the holy site, as it did to the Ibrahimi mosque in 1994, following the massacre by American Jewish settler Baruch Goldstein of 29 Palestinian men and boys during Ramadan prayers.

Not only did Israel partition the Ibrahimi mosque, but it forced Palestinians out of much of the once bustling Old City of Hebron, effectively turning it over to the control of the settlers.

It should not be lost on anyone that one of the most prominent Jewish figures agitating for Israeli control of al-Aqsa today, lawmaker Itamar Ben-Gvir, views Baruch Goldstein as a hero.

Following a recent incursion at the al-Aqsa compound under heavy protection by Israeli police, Ben-Gvir declared, “whoever controls the Temple Mount controls the Land of Israel. The enemy understands this too.”

Earlier this week, Sheikh Ekrima Sabri, the chief preacher at al-Aqsa, posted on Twitter a video of Jewish settlers dancing and singing inside Hebron’s Ibrahimi mosque.

“The whole world must know that in Jerusalem we will not allow what happened in the Ibrahimi mosque to be repeated in the place where the Prophet ascended to Heaven [al-Aqsa], no matter what the cost,” Sabri stated.

This reflects the consensus among Palestinians that only their resistance on the ground can prevent an Israeli takeover of al-Aqsa.

As I told Khalek, this critical context is almost always left out by the mainstream media, if they bother to report on Israel’s attacks on al-Aqsa at all.

At its heart the situation in Palestine is not a religious conflict, but rather a struggle by the indigenous Palestinians to survive and resist the settler-colonial takeover of their land by Zionism, a violent colonial movement founded in Europe.

Zionism and the settler-colonial state it created have always been ready to weaponize Judaism as a pretext to conquer the land of the Palestinians.

If this doesn't make you blood boil, I don't know what does!!!

Whitewashing Nazis

Khalek and I also discussed the glaring contrast between how Western governments respond to Israel’s violence against Palestinians as compared with their reaction to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

We discussed many aspects of that double standard, including one of the most disturbing: In order to justify sending weapons to Ukraine and escalating the war there, even a prominent Jewish communal and Israel lobby group is whitewashing Nazis and denying and revising key facts about the Holocaust.

You can watch our entire discussion in the video above.

While political Zionism did originate in Europe with Herzl, religious Zionism (from ציון, tziyown) is about the city of David, which relates to Messianism with the first century celebration of the Messiah as the son of David. The temple incident was misrepresented by the priesthood as being about commerce when in fact it was about violence (Matthew 21:13, Jeremiah 7:11). Arguably the prophetic context for this is from Habakkuk (chapter 1 verse 2), with the response relating to the global aspirations of the proud man (Habakkuk 2:4).

There is no Peace Process because extremists, the Zionists, are already allowed to call the shots in Palestine.

Who gave them permission? If you don't know then there's no reason to think that they are "allowed" to do anything.

With a lot of financial and political help from religious extremists in this country, who are largely anti-Semite in their day to day lives.

They think the Millennium can be precipitated by a chain of events that include rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem. Like it's magic.

2,977 innocent pe0ple died in the WTC attack, plus another 6,000 were injured. When the news broke, the Palestinians were dancing in the streets.

I'm not an American, but my heart bled for those poor murdered souls.
