Keen insight on the new violence in Israel

“The fact is that neither the Palestinian Authority nor Hamas are behind the eruption of violence. It also appears they have very minimal influence over the people for which they claim to be speaking. Meanwhile, they are trying their hardest to exploit the situation, dancing on the blood of those incited youth shot trying to stab Jews, while of course extracting any possible political gain. This also applies, despite the obvious differences, to Arab MKs, whom no one outside of the Israeli media sees as leaders worth listening to, certainly no one in the Arab-Israeli street.”

“Don’t worry, the Islamic State group still hasn’t made it to Israel and there are no signs that the angry young people seeking out Jews to slaughter with their knives are affiliated with the group or acting on its behalf.” 

“There is no doubt, however, that the organization’s evil spirit, the spirit of radicalism and madness that it and other like-minded groups espouse, is the tailwind and perhaps even the cause of the terror wave hitting us in recent days.
