Facing existential threats, Israelis can't resist fighting one another WashTimesOpEd
Earlier this month, however, there was an unexpected announcement: Diplomatic relations between Riyadh and Tehran will be reestablished. The deal was brokered by China’s rulers, who plan to replace the U.S. as the most influential power in the Middle East — and, over time, in every corner of the world.
The terrorist, identified as Ali Ramzi al-Aswad, was tracked back to Damascus, where he was killed, apparently by Israeli security forces. Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a Tehran-backed group, called him a “leader.”and Iran or Hezbollah, as would Hamas, which rules Gaza and has no higher priority than killing Israeli Jews. Both groups have now established cells in the northern West Bank, where the Palestinian Authority is meant to be governing under the Oslo Accords.
The Palestinian Authority’s response? According to the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, it “praises the terrorist operatives and gives their families special treatment, including financial support.” Israelis from nearby communities responded by going on a rampage in the streets of Huwara, burning homes and cars, and leaving one Palestinian dead.
With so many enemies warring against them, you might expect Israelis to be more united than ever. Instead, they are furiously quarreling over proposals by the current government to limit what has been the growing powers of judges.
