An American tourist was stabbed to death in one of three bloody terror attacks that rocked Israel Tuesday, just as Vice President Biden arrived in Tel Aviv to meet with leaders in an effort to stem Palestinian violence and mend frayed relations with the Jewish state.
Palestinian attackers shot and stabbed a dozen policemen and civilians in separate assaults around Israel, continuing near-daily incidents that began in October and have left more than 200 Israelis and Palestinians dead. Two Israeli police officers and 10 civilians were wounded in the attacks and three Palestinian attackers were shot and killed.
Part of Biden’s mission is to smooth over the latest bump in relations between the Obama White House and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after a public falling out over the Iran nuclear deal last year. Biden will meet with Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Wednesday to discuss military aid, a session that comes on the heels of the prime minister canceling a trip to Washington.
As if to underscore the continuing problem of Palestinian violence, which has surged since the so-called “knife intifada” began in Jerusalem last fall, a Palestinian opened fire at police near Jerusalem’s Old City an hour before his plane touched down. One police officer was reportedly shot in the head in the attack, and another hurt as the assailant was chased down and kileld.
Then, after Biden arrived in Tel Aviv, 10 Israelis were stabbed in the city’s Jaffa port section, Reuters reported. A BBC reporter tweeted that Biden was a few hundred meters from the attack.

The American tourist died in the attack and was described as a 29-year-old man. His wife was one of five seriously injured.
The suspect, who was not immediately identified, was “neutralized,” authorities said.
It was the latest in a wave of Palestinian attacks that have killed 28 Israelis, mostly in shootings, stabbings and assaults with cars. At least 174 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire during that time. Most were attackers and the rest were killed in clashes, Israel says.

Interesting, that graph.
The jihadis – whether from without or within (the ‘Fifth Column’ of Muslim Arabs – try it on with redoubled force **every ten years**.
Which suggests to me that they try it on, after a period the Israelis hammer them back down, upon which, the mohammedans view themselves as offering a ‘hudna’/ Treaty of Hudaybiyya… which can, of course, last only a maximum of ten years….
My advice to the Israelis therefore: hit them back, real hard. Hammer them flat. Search every damn mosque you know about, inside official Israel and in Muslim-occupied Judea and Samaria, not forgetting the ‘Al Aqsa’ and ‘Dome of the Rock’ (search those FIRST); don’t give warning; use sniffer dogs; find ANYTHING ‘funny’… shut down, raze to the ground, arrest the imam/s and give them the boot, over the fence into jihad armed camp Gaza. Every mosque that has hosted someone howling Itbach al-Yahud… obliterate it. Every mosque attended more than once by one of these Stabbers/ Rammers/ shooters… same deal… raze it to the ground. That would be a start. Evicting the entire Waqf off the Temple Mount, never to be permitted to return, would be another. And in the long run, the mohammedan Fifth Column will have to be evicted, both from within what is now thought of as Israel proper, and from Judea and Samaria. Send them all to Gaza.
The stronger, swifter, and more devastating the Israeli response, the quicker the jihadis will pull their heads – and their knife-wielding bomb-wielding claws – back in.
And if Jihad Fortress Gaza launches so many as ten rockets… give them Fire From Heaven. And there, too.. target the bloody mosques, because they’re the command-and-control centres, and usually the arsenals, magazines and arms factories.
