Arab violence

Palestinian Arabs have rioted in Jerusalem on the Temple Mount for the last two days. The reason was that a young Palestinian man was killed the day before at a previous riot in the village of A'ram nearby. He was hit in the chest by a tear gas canister shot by an Israeli policeman while they tried to restore order. Yes, it is tragic that this accident occured, but from it the PA Pres. Abbas tried to make a "federal case." In Qatar he accused Israel of intending to demolish the Dome of the Rock Mosque, that PM Netanyahu vehemently denied and called "harshly inflammatory." The policeman was merely doing his job, there was no intent to kill, and in fact if they wanted to kill these rioters there would be many dead. But, the Israeli so-called "occupation" is so much more humane than the Syrian forces firing live rounds, artillery and tanks at their own defenceless people. While 8,500 are estimated to be dead in Syria in the past 9 months, in the Palestinian areas, where they are continuously rioting, there have been no more than 10 killed.

See what happens here - two IDF soldiers went to Haifa's Rambam Hospital last night because one of them felt ill. In the parking lot a gang of up to 20 Arab men attacked them and severely beat them and would have killed them if the hospital security had not heard their screams and came to their rescue. The Arabs drove off but their license number was taken and six of them have been arrested so far. If they go to trial and if they are found guilty they will serve a minimal sentence. There is no doubt that Arabs and Muslims in general are addicted to violence.

Wherever there are Muslims there is conflict. In Nigeria the Boko Haram Islamists are attacking Christians and government troops, in Somalia, the al-Shabab Islamist forces are fighting the Kenyan and Ethiopian Armies as well as the non-Islamist Somali government forces. The situations in Egypt and Lebanon are very fluid and as for Syria and Iran, well there is not much to add to what everyone sees on their screens every night. It is only Iran that is threatening mass destruction to another sovereign state and threatening world peace (N. Korea is currently quiet). If only Islam could have a "reformation" and become a peaceful religion like some of our politicians already mistakenly think that it is.
