One of the survivors of the Merkaz HaRav massacre is in America for surgery, and needs some financial assistance.

A month or so after the attack Naftali was sitting up and even playing the violin, but he very nearly didn’t make it. Shaare Tzedek’s chief of surgery, Dr. Yosef Alberton, carefully described the 9th grader’s arrival at the hospital in an interview with Yediot Acharonot.

“You can say that Naftali was already not among the living,” he recalled. “He had no pulse in the main arteries, just weak heart beats. He wasn’t dazed, he was unconscious. At such times, there is no room for sterilization procedures. We put him on the table, poured iodine on his abdomen and opened it. I grabbed the aorta and held it hard with my hand to allow blood flow to the brain. I actually felt like I was holding his life in my fingers, until we saw that the pulse was beginning to return to his veins and his condition was stabilizing.”

Rabbi Billet is assisting other rabbis and communal leaders in a fundraising effort for the family, calling it a chance to “participate in the miracle of Techiyas Hamaisim.”

The child-killing POS that Israel traded alive for the corpses of her soldiers is swearing he won’t rest until Israel is destroyed. Get used to not sleeping, asshole.

Three months after being released from an Israeli jail in a prisoner swap, Lebanese terrorist and child-killer Samir Kuntar said he was more than ever committed to working to wipe the Jewish state off the map, AFP reported on Thursday.

“As long as there is something called Israel in this region, the resistance must continue … and I am totally committed to the resistance,” Kuntar, 46, told AFP. “I am ready to take part in any resistance mission.”

Please, please, PLEASE take a position near the IDF and start shooting at them. Please give Israel the chance to do to you today what she should have done thirty years ago, and end your miserable existence.

In the meantime, get used to disappointment.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad is calling for a third intifada on the heels of the riots in Acre—now in their third night. Please take careful note of the text in bold.

On a third successive night of rioting in Akko, Arabs threw stones at dozens of Jewish youths who formed a crowd in one of the city’s eastern neighborhoods. A man who was walking his dog sustained a mild head injury from a stone flung at him.

Police detained four Jewish protestors and began to disperse the remaining crowd with the help of stun grenades, tear gas, and water hoses. Officers also raided a home from which stones had been flung, detaining the family within. At around 10 pm police reported the incident under control.

Northern District Police stated that altogether 30 people have been arrested in relation to the riots since they first began on Yom Kippur Eve.

The incident commenced at around 9 pm, when dozens of Jewish youths began to crowd two of the neighborhood’s main streets. Police barricaded the eastern entrance to the city, and deployed large SWAT and Border Guard forces armed with anti-protest equipment to the area. Three residents of the city were detained earlier
Friday.

Now read what the terror leaders are asking:

The Islamic Jihad movement called on Friday for Palestinians to take to the streets in solidarity with the Arabs of Akko and Arabs in Israel, in general, “due to the racist aggression and brutality of the occupation and the bullying of the settlers.”

“The extreme Jewish attacks and the crimes of the settlers during recent days are a manifestation of the brutality of the occupation and its racism, in Akko and in other Palestinian villages in occupied Palestine,” said the group’s spokesman Walid Hilam.

He called on Akko’s Arab residents to continue to fight and remain unified in the fact of aggressive behavior and to hold on to their lands in the face of an alleged Zionist plot to relocate them, as occurred in 1948.

This is not your father’s intifada. This is not the Arafat-led intifada of 2000. It is not the rock-throwing intifada of the 1980s. This is a different time, and Jews are feeling very, very differently about Arab mobs. All you have to do is look at what happened in Acre the past three nights. What I have seen from these events is that Jewish Israelis will no longer stand by passively while Arab mobs riot in their neighborhoods. What you will see, if this thing spreads, is more crowds of young Jewish men matching club for club and stone for stone with young Arab men. And while this is not a good thing for either Arabs or Jews, it’s pretty clear that the Arabs will be the losers if this rioting does not stop.

There’s simply no margin of error left. After years of being bombed and rocketed by terrorists, after months of watching Arab Israelis misuse their identification cards to murder Israelis even in the heart of Jerusalem, Israeli Jews are responding to violence with violence.

I am not condoning this. I am simply reporting it, and writing what I think.

And I think that Israeli Arabs had better not listen to the terrorists. A third intifada will be disastrous for them.

Looks like the Palestinians are trying to create a new weapon: The automobile and its relatives.

IDF forces thwarted an attempt by Palestinians to run over a group of soldiers on Wednesday, near the West Bank village of Sinjil, north of Ramallah. No injuries or damage were reported in the incident.

Four Palestinians traveling in three vehicles, including a bulldozer, broke through an army roadblock at around 3 pm and attempted to plow the vehicles into the soldiers.

The troops responded in accordance with military suspect apprehension protocol and proceeded to open fire.

The good news is that no soldiers were hurt, and the terrorists were captured.

Expect more of these, as the Palestinians seem to think they’re the new “It” weapon. Thankfully, no one was killed in the last attack, either. But seventeen were wounded. And the media, of course, play down the seriousness and effect of the terror attacks.

Cars may work as a weapon in a crowded street, but not so much at a checkpoint with armed and ready soldiers.
