New York Daily News : No country for Jews? An Israeli sadly concludes that ordinary Palestinians are fighting a long war against Israel itself

We have a young language instructor at Shalem College in Jerusalem, where I work. She's a religious Muslim who wears a hijab, lives in one of the Arab neighborhoods of Jerusalem and is a graduate student at Hebrew University. She's fun and warm, and a great teacher — the students like her a lot.

Late last spring, when things here were quiet, some of the students mentioned to the department chair that as much as they'd spoken with her over the past couple of years, they'd never discussed politics. They were curious what someone like her thought about the conflict in this region, especially now that she was teaching at an unabashedly Zionist college, had come to know so many Jewish students and had developed such warm relationships with them. How does someone like her see things here? How did she think we would one day be able to settle this conflict?

‘Slaughter the Jews’: ISIS Goes on Incitement Blitz

by Bridget Johnson October 19, 2015 - 5:41 pm

 

While Israel is calling on the Palestinian Authority to curb incitement, ISIS is contributing to the problem by enlisting its slick PR machine to encourage violence against the Jewish State.

 

Several videos were released posted online Sunday with the promo line “Slaughter the Jews.”

 

The videos feature footage of attacks that happened just a matter of days ago, including street surveillance footage of a Palestinian terrorist ramming a crowd at a bus stop then hacking the wounded with a meat cleaver. A 60-year-old rabbi was killed.

 

One of the videos is labeled Halab, the ancient name for Aleppo, Syria — perhaps a nod to the fact that a thriving Jewish community once lived there, only to be attacked by Arab mobs in 1947. Bashar al-Assad eventually squeezed out the remaining Jews.

 

ISIS has been advancing on Aleppo as Russian strikes in support of Assad have hit Free Syrian Army targets there.

Hamas got props from ISIS in an e-book as “an organisation whose goal is to liberate Palestine entirely and to leave no trace of Israel on the map.” http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2015/10/19/slaughter-the-jews-isis-goes-on-incitement-blitz/
