Palestinian killed after alleged knife attack

The court delayed the verdict for the third and chief suspect in the case due to a last-minute insanity plea, sparking claims that Israel is too lenient with Jewish assailants. Palestinians protest Monday outside Jerusalem District Court, which convicted two Israelis in the 2014 slaying of Palestinian Mohammed Abu Khudair. Their names were not released under Israeli law.

In August, supporters of the movement pressured a Spanish music festival to bar Jewish-American reggae singer Matisyahu from giving a scheduled performance, and succeeded in having him singled out and disinvited after he refused to issue a public statement supporting a Palestinian state. What’s more, by assuming Rabinovitch is anti-Palestine, purely on the basis of her nationality, Levine denied Rabinovitch’s status as an individual.

One of the young men said Ben David had given them pills “to calm us down”, and that they had tried to get out of the situation. Then Ben David lit the match, according to Zaban.

The same day, the foreign ministry announced it was suspending dialogue with the European Union regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The wave of unrest, which was triggered by Israel’s imposition in August of restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound, has left over 100 Palestinians killed.

Hamas condemned what it called an “exoneration” of Ben David. Raviv was tried and found not guilty. “They think the rift with the Palestinians is a territorial dispute, but it’s not”, Netanyahu said. Ben David did not testify.

However, according to The Sun, it is the Palestinians who are, again, the victims.

The 38-year-old drove his van into a group of police officers before ramming into pedestrians at a tram stop along a road separating east and west Jerusalem.

Yet another example of Israel’s disparate treatment of Palestinians was apparent in this morning’s raid when Israeli authorities utilized over 30 buses to transport Israeli soldiers to Shuafat.

In October 2015, again, citing the safety of Israeli Jews, Israel’s security cabinet asked Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked to shorten the legal process to demolish homes of Palestinians’ accused of attacking Israelis.

Israel says the violence stems from Palestinian incitement and incendiary videos on social media. As Israeli citizens, they said they could not simply be abandoned or have their citizenship canceled. This incident is yet more proof that we were right. Ali Dawabsha, the family’s 18-month old son, died in the attack; his parents, Saad and Riham, succumbed to their injuries while being treated in Israeli hospitals in the aftermath of the attack.

An Israeli army spokeswoman in Tel Aviv said the military was not commenting.
