Another day, another vehicular attack in Israel.

Earlier this week, a 17 year old Palestinian "child" plowed his car into a 70 year old Israeli man and a 35 year old near Gush Etzion Junction..  Its no surprise if you didn't hear about it.  Vehicular attacks in Israel are routinely ignored by the mainstream media.

One of the Palestinian  "children" Betty McCollum obsesses over

Don't dismiss this as a normal traffic accident.  

Az al-Din Kraja left his vehicle carrying a knife and charged at a group of IDF soldiers. He was shot and  evacuated to Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center.

What does Minnesota Rep. Betty McCollum propose that Israel do with children who attempt murder?  Why has she completely ignored the cultural foundation of these attacks- the glorification of violence that is pervasive not only in social media, but in the government controlled mass media? Why has she ignored the financial incentives  given to convicted Jew-killers?  Why has she ignored this toxic stew that leads 11 year old boys to rationalize attempted murder simply by saying ‘I wanted to die a martyr’?

J Street. Betraying both Palestinian and Israeli children

Congressional Representative Betty McCollum has drafted a letter to John Kerry, condemning Israel's treatment of Palestinian children. The letter ignores the glorification of violence in Palestinian society, and the role it plays in perpetuating conflict. It ignores the indoctrination of Palestinian youth by the state run media.  It ignores the culture of hatred that is created when streets, city squares and youth sports leagues are named after the murderers of Jews.  This letter infantilizes the Palestinian people by absolving them of responsibility and doing so, makes  peace even more elusive.

As of today, only 12 of our Congressional representatives have signed this biased and one-sided document. Of those, 10 have been endorsed by J Street (names bolded)

How to Fake an Anti-Israel news photo

The UK Independent used this photo to illustrate an article on the treatment of Palestinian children.


The problem? This two year old photo was recycled. And the scene was staged- deliberately manipulated by the photographer to give the appearance of children behind bars.
