INNOCENT JEWS ARE MASSACRED
Palestinians celebrate and give out sweets,
a Palestinian tradition whenever Jews die in terror attacks.

According to reports in the Palestinian media, the terrorists are relatives of Jamal Abu Jamal, a prisoner released as part of a "political gesture" to Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas last year, in a four-part series of releases. Jamal Abu Jamal was rearrested a year ago and again earlier this month.

The victims
There were four rabbis murdered: Rabbi Moshe Twersky, Rabbi Avraham Shmuel Goldberg, Rabbi kalman Levine, Rabbi Aryeh Kupinsky.
In addition seven other victims are being treated for injuries. Besides the police officer in very critical condition, one other is in very serious or condition, the wounds of two others were described as “serious, while two others are in moderate condition and one was injured lightly.
Jews not allowed to own guns in Israel
It should be noted that it is next to impossible for Jews to obtain gun permits in Israel, thus leaving them at the mercy of Arabs who manage to get guns in the black market, and who also use knives, and even vehicles to kill Jews.
Jews who own guns are afraid to use them because of prosecution for even firing into the air when fearing for their lives.

Police reluctance or slowness to answer Jewish calls for help is another factor in facilitating daily acts of terror against Jews in Israel.
This situation is particularly serious when motorists are routinely attacked on the roads. Palestinians use rocks, firebombs, and even throw paint on windshields to prevent drivers from finding their way, thus making them easier prey to murder.
In breaking news, the security minister announced that he MAY ease SOME restrictions on Jews owning guns. But they will apply to private security guards and off-duty army officers. Regular Israeli citizens are still forced to live without weapons among fanatical terrorists.
ZAKA emergency volunteers are tasked with recovering every single bit of Jewish blood or flesh at terror attack sites.
Palestinians doing what they do best: incitement and murder
'Moderate" Fatah officials - of the same Palestinian faction the Israeli government has been calling "their partners for peace" - made repeated statements in recent weeks praising deadly terror attacks on Israelis, and calling for “blood” to “purify” Jerusalem of Jews.
The calls for violence came amid a series of terror attacks over the last month that left six Israelis dead and dozens injured.
According to Palestinian Media Watch, in a message broadcast November 7 on the Palestinian Authority’s official television channel PA TV, the head of the Media Department for Fatah in Lebanon Muhammad al-Biqa’i praised the Palestinians who carried out three recent terror attacks that killed four Israelis and left a rabbi in critical condition.
Last week, a representative of the PA Ministry of Religious Affairs called on Palestinians to “rush to Jerusalem and offer sacrifices and blood.”
In a speech reported in al-Hayat al-Jadidah on Friday, official Hassan al-Saifi said that “Jerusalem has no need of declarations or religious rulings, but rather needs the religious scholars in particular to fulfill their duty, rush to Jerusalem and offer sacrifices and blood.”
These calls for the murder of Jews, along with eulogies for those who commit terror against Jews, are routine among 'moderate' Fatah leaders in the Palestinian Authority. PA president Mahmoud Abbas himself has eulogized every Arab who has murdered Jews, calling them heroes.
PA TV is full of calls for murdering Jews, particularly in children programs.
Unfortunately Israeli politicians have refused to call attention to the relentless racist hate campaign being carried out by Palestinian media and clerical and political leaders.
The scene outside the synagogue
Other recent terror attacks
On October 22, al-Shaludi drove his car into a Jerusalem Light Rail station, killing three-month-old Israeli-American Chaya Zissel Braun and Karen Yemima Muscara, 22, of Ecuador. Seven other were also injured in the attack. Al-Shaloudi was shot by police as he tried to flee the scene and died of his wounds in hospital.
A week later, Mu’taz Hijazi, a member of Islamic Jihad and a formerly released prisoner, shot Rabbi Yehudah Glick — a prominent activist who campaigns for Jewish prayer rights on the Temple Mount — outside the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem. Glick was seriously wounded, but survived the attack. Hijazi was killed by police during a gunfight hours after the attack.
On November 5, al-Akari drove his car into a different light rail stop, killing two people and injuring another 13. He was shot and killed by police during the attack.
ZAKA emergency volunteers help carry body of terrorist
Witness account
ZAKA (a first responders organization) Chairman Yehudi Meshi Zahav said: "The images I saw inside the synagogue reminded me of images from
the Holocaust – Jews wrapped in talitot (prayer shawls) and tefilin
(phylacteries) dying in pools of their own blood on the floor of the synagogue.”
Palestinian leadership response
(Excellent website that covers a wide range of Palestinian issues, particularly the demonization of Jews)Palestinian leadership response
Hamas spokesperson Sami Abu Zuhri praised the attack, calling for more “revenge
operations”
A spokesman for Fatah, the party of Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas,
said that the attack was “a natural consequence of the crimes of Israel”.
Mahmoud Abbas received a call from US Secretary Kerry who asked him to condemn the attack. But this is only to preserve the hoax of Palestinian moderation, as a tool to carry out the partition of Israel. It won't be long, however, till Abbas will praise the killing - and he will do in Arabic, of course, so that the media can ignore it.
World leaders' response
Both the US and Russian presidents issued similar statements urging both sides to rein in "extremists".
Rabbi Yehuda Glick, who was seriously wounded by an Arab recently, has been called an "extremist" because he asks for the right to pray at Temple Mount - as permitted by the agreement with Jordan and by the Israeli Supreme Court. Asking for the state to abide by the law renders you an extremist in the eyes of the world.

Disgraceful mainstream media reaction
CNN journalism level continues to sink.
CNN initially reported "Deadly attack on Jerusalem mosque" instead of synagogue. A normal Freudian slip reflecting their also normal biased reporting.
Its initial report flashed the headline, “Deadly Attack on Jerusalem Mosque,”
but the first correction only reported “4 Israelis, 2 Palestinians Killed in
Jerusalem.”
On a mosque? Later they issued a correction.
Police kills two Palestinians - That's their headline.
That headline was a full two hours after the terror attack.
That headline was a full two hours after the terror attack.
Yossi Dagan, the head of media relations for the Samaria Regional Council, filed a formal complaint Tuesday with the Government Press Office (GPO) against a CNN reporter for equating the terrorists involved in the Har Nof massacre with the victims.
According to Dagan, American CNN reporter Ben Wedeman was responsible for the headline describing the massacre under the headline, "Israeli police shot dead two Palestinian civilians" - when, in fact, the shooters were Palestinian terrorists who killed four Jews and wounded eight others as they prayed the morning service before being killed in a gun battle with police.
Dagan charged that the headline was a serious violation of international journalism ethics, and called to revoke Wedeman's press license and, generally, bring anti-Semitic coverage of terror attacks by foreign journalists to an end - permanently.
Later, CNN finally reported that a “terror attack” had taken place.
However, it linked the murders with Arab rage over the suicide of an eastern
Jerusalem bus driver Sunday who Palestinian Authority officials insist was
murdered by “settlers.”
CNN reported that there was “controversy” over the death of the bus
driver.
It added that Arabs did not accept that it was a suicide, but it failed even
to mention that forensic experts testified that the man hanged himself. The
network also quoted leading Palestinian Authority leader politician Hanan
Ashrawi that the murder was a “lynching” by Jews.
CNN also wrote the report so that readers would conclude that there was a
link between the driver’s death and a stabbing attack by an Arab on a Jew the
day before.

NPR calls them "assailants" - Nowhere in this report they use word terrorist or Palestinian in connection with the massacre - except when quoting somebody else. They also deflect attention from this horror by referring to current conflicts between Arabs and Jews.
The report says: "As NPR's Emily Harris reported, because the site (Temple Mount) is holy to both sides, Jews and Muslims have clashed over access."
Actually, the site has been the holiest place in the world to Jews for thousands of years. Arab conquerors just happened to build a mosque on top and want to deny ALL access to Jews to the site, although Israeli law and an agreement with Jordan grant full access to Jews to pray there.

While the media went on a binge of gory pictures of Arab casualties during the Gaza war, there has been intense pressure to censor pictures of another carnage that took place in 2011, when Arabs from the Palestinian Authority slaughtered an entire family, cutting the throats of little children, including a baby.
The apparently only photographic evidence of the Fogel family massacre that is still on the web is here:
