I don't know whether any of you have been watching the news recently, but the recent couple of weeks have been a very bad time in my country, Israel. In what some call a third intifada, dozens of Palestinian Arab residents of East Jerusalem and the West Bank have taken to the streets, initiating a series of murderous stabbing, running over and shooting attacks against Israeli civilians.
One can't say for sure what caused this bloody wave of Palestinian violence. It has no clear leadership. The blame probably falls with extreme incitement by Muslim religious leaders and what they call "a violation of the status-quo in the Al-Aqsa mosque / Temple mount", maybe together with inspiration from ISIL and similar terrorist organizations.
What makes this worse is that several of the terrorists who carried out attacks have been teenagers, one of them only 13 years old. What can definitely be said is that the violence is inexcusable. It not only creates fear and severely damages the trust between Jews and Arabs in my state, but only strengthens the hatred and racism among the Jewish population, and raises calls for retaliatory attacks against Arabs among extremist Jews. First and foremost, the violence harms peaceful Arab population.
All of this is accompanied by reporting in Western media that can only be described as SLANDEROUS LIES and distortions of facts. The anti-Israel bias on international media is well-known, but it seems like this time they've lost any care for facts in their reporting.
As I attach examples of this, I ask you to be very careful in your interpretation of what you hear in the news; such anti-Israel propaganda is shameless, and many would say, reeks of anti-semitism.
Two of the aforementioned teens in the headline were killed while carrying out stabbing attacks, which were examples of Palestinian and not “Israeli violence.” The other two were killed in violent demonstrations initiated by Palestinians.
