Palestinian Terrorists – Dressed as Orthodox Jews – Gun Down Israeli Civilians in Tel Aviv

There’s been another unprovoked attack by Palestinian terrorists on Israeli civilians – this time in Tel Aviv. It is being reported that two young Palestinian men disguised themselves as Orthodox Jews, went to a crowded market in downtown Tel Aviv, and then opened fire, spraying rounds indiscriminately at anyone they saw. At least three Israelis were killed; seven more were wounded, some seriously.  Both Palestinians are now in Israeli police custody.

What is it about the Palestinian psyche and culture that causes young men to become murderers, to target civilian men, women, and children simply because they are Jews? Could it be the constant calls in Palestinian media to kill Jews, to drive them out of the land, to avenge Arab honor? All too often we see Palestinian mothers dressing up their toddler sons as mujahedeen carrying toy AK47s and wearing plastic suicide belts. All too often we hear of radical Islamic religious leaders calling for jihad against the Jews and promising untold blessings in heaven for committing murder. All too often we see Palestinians dancing in the streets over reports of the murder of Jewish mothers and children.

Where is the condemnation from the Palestinian Authority for the terrorists and their sympathizers?

A culture that produces such fruit is a perverse culture. It is a culture that should be shunned, not supported. It is a culture that should be condemned, not praised. At times like this, Americans should look around to see what our friends and allies in the Middle East are saying. If they celebrate such murder, we should cut them off. U.S. taxpayers are sending hundreds of millions of dollars each year to prop up the corrupt Palestinian government. Enough is enough!

It is well past time that we should stop providing financial support to the wholly corrupt Palestinian Authority (which gives liberal pensions to Palestinian murderers serving time in Israeli jails paid out of funds we provide and which openly and notoriously violate every agreement it has entered into with Israel).

Palestinian leadership has proven that they cannot be trusted. Let’s accept that unpleasant fact and move on. Let’s stop castigating Israel for failing to make peace with a corrupt, terrorist-led government that doesn’t want peace. Let’s recognize, once and for all, that the Palestinian Authority and its terrorist allies won’t be satisfied until Israel is destroyed and gone forever. Since that’s not going to happen, let’s back the Israeli people and support the State of Israel as it defends its people from such vile acts of terror.
