Israeli officials say that a car ramming incident at a Jerusalem train station today was a terrorist attack. The driver, a 21-year-old Palestinian, slammed his car into pedestrians at the train stop, killing an infant and wounding eight other Israelis.
Israeli police say the driver, Abdel-Rahman Shaloudi, had previously served time in jail for “terror activity,” and he reportedly died of his wounds after being shot today by police. The driver was from Silwan, a neighborhood where tensions have risen over recent settler activity.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas for the incident, saying Abbas’ recent criticism of Israeli policy was incitement that led directly to terror attacks.
Israeli officials were demanding violent crackdowns on the Silwan neighborhood, with Economy Minister Naftali Bennett insisting that “not even Satan could create sufficient vengeance” for the incident. Predictably, there were several crackdowns in Occupied East Jerusalem later in the day, with Jerusalem’s mayor saying the situation is “unbearable” and that the Arab neighborhoods need to be brought under police control.
I suppose Bennett who seems to be familiar with Satan didn't mention this:

“Einas Khalil, five, died after being hit by a car driven by an Israeli settler near the central West Bank town of Sinjil, medical sources at Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah said.
The girl and young Nilin Asfour were walking on the main road near the village when they were hit, and were taken to the hospital in Ramallah where their wounds were described as serious.
Einas passed away hours later.
Residents of Sinjil accused the settler of deliberately hitting the girls.”
And of course this was not reported in Western news media.
If you make not worth living for people they are prone to thinking life has no value, even yours. How many more Jewish babies must die to even the terror score? America should remove itself from this tragedy. We can do no good. .
Blowback — Nature's justice, destiny
Israel fantasizes that the solution be to attack the blowback, while leaving the root cause in full force and effect.
Then again, to maximize profit in trading of war materials for Middle-East oil, in exchange for all the free land you can steal at gunpoint, surely a most enjoyable experience.
saying Abbas’ recent criticism of Israeli policy was incitement that led directly to terror attacks.
…in the same way, criticism of e.g. cutting off of noses lead directly to US terrorism via e.g. Blackwater kooks….
"…saying Abbas’ recent criticism of Israeli policy was incitement that led directly to terror attacks."
No, you idiot, Israeli actions and official statements are incitements that lead directly to terror attacks. I expect that the Israeli settler groups will step up their thefts of land and buildings further inciting the Palestinians around Jerusalem to strike back…and the wheel continues to turn.
I suppose BiBi will use this as an excuse to blow up the Mosque, steal everything in sight, and (drumroll) ask for more money.
israels policy of antagonizing the pals until they retaliate led directly to the attack, and all the others
