Paleo driver shot dead in West Bank after injuring four
2015-11-09
A Palestinian driver was shot dead after ramming his car into a bus stop in the occupied West Bank, injuring four people, police said on Sunday, the latest in violence that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will discuss in White House talks.
You can see the headline from Khaleej Times. Imagine the Guardian, Le Monde, and the New York Times...
Since October 1, 11 Israelis have been killed in street attacks by Palestinians motivated in part by agitation at stepped-up Jewish visits to a contested Jerusalem holy site, and by deadlocked US-backed peace-making efforts.

Israeli forces have killed at least 72 Palestinians, including 43 who Israel says were carrying out or about to carry out attacks with knives, guns or cars. Many were teenagers.

Palestinians question whether all of those killed posed a lethal threat and have accused the Israelis of excessive force.
Of course they question it. They're the same people who excuse stone throwing, as long as it is their people throwing the stones...
On Sunday, a Palestinian man rammed his car into a bus stop near the Jewish settlement of Tapuach in the West Bank, injuring four people, an Israeli police spokeswoman said. Paramilitary police troopers shot the man dead, she said.

At the entrance to another settlement, Beitar Illit, a Palestinian woman stabbed and lightly injured a security guard who then shot and wounded her, an Israeli military spokeswoman said. CCTV video circulated by the Beitar Illit municipality showed a woman in Muslim dress speaking to a man wearing private security insignia on a pavement. She reaches into her bag, pulls out a large knife and lunges at him, at which point he rears back and both disappear from the frame.

Briefing his cabinet before setting off for Washington, where he will be hosted by US President Barack Obama on Monday, Netanyahu alluded to Palestinian statehood negotiations stalled since mid-2014 amid feuds over the West Bank settlements and the status of Jerusalem and Hamas-controlled Gaza.

On the agenda of the White House talks, Netanyahu said, is "possible progress with the Palestinians, or at least, stabilising the situation when it comes to them". The Syria crisis and US military aid for Israel will also be discussed, he said.

Though Israeli-Palestinian peace has eluded Obama during his two terms in office, US officials said he will press Netanyahu for steps to keep alive the possibility of a two-state accord.
Don't bend, Bibi, and don't trust Obama...
Ynet reports on the third attack of the day:
Less than two hours after the Beitar Illit attack, a 48-year-old man was stabbed and severely maimed in the town of Nabi Ilyas, near the settlement Alfei Menashe. The town is located near a busy road, and many Jews shop there. During initial questioning, the victim said he had stopped to shop in the town and was attacked by two forces of Evil while standing at a stall.
More from the Jerusalem Post:
An initial investigation has determined that the man stopped at a roadside store outside the Paleostinian village when he was stabbed in the stomach. The assailants expeditiously departed at a goodly pace, and have not been apprehended. Security forces have launched searches in the area.

Early Sunday morning, Border Police officers placed in durance vile
You have the right to remain silent...
 a Paleostinian man caught trying to scale a fence into Givat Hameyasdim in Ma'aleh Adumim, a front man for the Judea and Samaria police said. The officers were responding to a call from a local security guard and had gun sex while arresting the man. The man, who police said is from the village of a-Ram, was not harmed in the incident. Police said they are still trying to determine his motives.
