Palestinian rams car into Israelis in West Bank
Youll have to ask them. “One of the soldiers said that they were (raiding the home) as punishment for speaking to the global media about what’s happening in Hebron”. The Arabs have to understand this, Karzen said.

What we see today is a whole generation that has lost hope that a two-state solution is possible, he said. Her son denied she tried to harm anyone, and that she was on her way to lunch with her sister when she was killed.
The new round of violence came ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s trip to Washington, where he will meet US President Barack Obama on Monday.
This week, Abbas’s envoy to the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, repeated the old-new blood lie that Israel is harvesting the organs of dead Palestinians.
Israel has accused Palestinian political and religious leaders of inciting the violence. The wall does not sit on a border between Israel and the Palestinian Territories but rather represents a land grab into the West Bank, where 85% of it is located, cutting Palestinians off from their neighbours, or isolating them in enclaves surrounded by (often violent) Israeli settlers.
The violence erupted in mid-September with clashes at Jerusalem’s holiest site, and quickly spread. The latest Israeli violations resulted in protests, then running battles inside the compound between Palestinian defenders and Israelis, and culminating in a series of into lone wolf knife attacks on Israeli soldiers and settlers. The Israelis said in a statement that they are now hunting the attacker. They alleged she did not intend to attack the soldiers.
MDA paramedics Gil Bismuth and Avigail Mamliya said that when they arrived they found “the victims lying on the ground and fully conscious, but suffering from wounds to their extremities”.

This is the center of the conflict, said Baker Tamimi, owner of a fabric shop beside the Jewish settlements. They have their faces covered as children and adults can be imprisoned for years if they are arrested for stone throwing (4 November 2015). The crash occurred at the Jewish settlement of Tapuach in the West Bank, an Israeli police spokesperson told Al Jazeera TV.
Most-recently focussed in the West Bank, the violence has been escalating for weeks. Seventy meters ahead, Israeli soldiers move into position. “You can’t pass the checkpoint with a shekel, let alone a knife”. Fatah has called for calm, and deployed its security apparatus to quell the protests in a few areas, leading many to accuse it of complicity. Its a semi-closure, said Yishai Fleisher, an Israeli radio show host and spokesman for the Jewish settlers in Hebron.
