Staying Real in Israel

Very interesting, the reciprocity between Israel and the palestinians when it comes to our respective holidays…

Every Muslim or Christian holiday celebrated by the palestinians is honored by Israel making “goodwill gestures”…Ramadan, Feast of the prophet, Christmas, Easter…Israel will always release palestinian prisoners…Israel will ease up on the requirements for granting permits to travel to certain areas, thus, leading to increased security risks to the Jews, Israel will grant expanded access to holy places to Islam and Christianity, and on and on…

The palestinians also have THEIR traditional ways of honoring the Israeli/Jewish holidays. They always increase their attempts to show their respect for Israeli/Jewish celebrations by sending “gifts” to Israel…Gifts like explosive-laden suicide bombers or rifle-toting murderers. It’s ALWAYS the same thing, every holiday, whether it be a palestinian terrorist entering a Jew’s house in Samaria and murdering his family in honor of the Jewish Sabbath, or a team of palestinian murderers storming a Passover Seder Feast in a hotel in Netanya shooting and exploding the participants, or a lone palestinian terrorist murdering little Jewish children dresssed in their Purim costumes in Tel Aviv…

So THAT is why, every Jewish holiday, every Israeli celebration, like today and tomorrow, Israeli Memorial and Independence Days, Israel must seal off her borders from entering palestinians and triple and quadruple security in all public places…

Happy Israeli Independence Day…

Israel Independence Day

Israel seals West Bank as security precaution

Israel has barred the entry of nearly all Palestinians from the West Bank as a security measure because of observances for Memorial Day and Independence Day.

The closure is to be lifted at midnight Tuesday.

Israel is always on a heightened state of precaution during national observances. Memorial Day begins on Sunday night and is followed by Independence Day, which begins Monday night and lasts through Tuesday.

The military says Palestinians in need of medical attention will be permitted to enter for care. A small number of media crews and professional groups such as lawyers and religious workers will be allowed to cross over. Humanitarian aid will also be allowed to pass.
