Palestinians riot after Friday prayers, funeral service for Hamas terrorist behind attack that left two dead.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered officials to demolish the homes of Palestinians in east Jerusalem who carried out attacks on Israelis, an unnamed official told AFP Friday. The report came as Palestinians rioted Israel’s chief rabbi urged Israelis to stop attempting to enter the flashpoint Temple Mount as the victim of a this week’s terror attack was laid to rest.
“Last night, at a consultation with security officials a number of possible measures to restore calm in Jerusalem were discussed,” the official said on condition of anonymity. “Among those discussed was the sealing or demolition of terrorists’ homes, this was approved,” the official said, adding that implementation of the plan required formal justice ministry approval.
Tensions mounted in the capital as recent violence continued to reverberate through the Israeli and Palestinian communities.
A symbolic funeral was held in East Jerusalem on Friday for the terrorist behind an attack on Wednesday in which he rammed a crowd with his car, killing two, including a Druze Border Patrol officer. The terrorist, Ibrahim al-Akari, was shot and killed by Israeli forces at the scene.
Thousands attended the mock-funeral march. Marchers held up pictures of the terrorist and shouted, “al-Akari the hero martyr”, “keep killing soldiers”, and “we all have a dream to die as martyrs”.
When they finally reached a military checkpoint, they burned tires and pelted police forces with stones and fireworks, as forces fired stun grenades in an attempt to quell the riot.

“If the Israeli government thinks that we will sit by silently, it’s mistaken,” said a resident of Shuafat. “This is the time to respond and fight against everything going on at al-Aqsa Mosque. As far as we’re concerned, the intifada has begun. Today we are going to combat and take into account that we may return dead.”

Palestinian protestors were infuriated by the Israeli government’s decision to close al-Aqsa Mosque to visitors after an attempted assassination of right-wing activist near the site last week.
Israel soon opened the mosque – part of the complex known to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary, the third-holiest site in the faith – again, but in a limited capacity. To Jews, the area is known as the Temple Mount, the holiest site in their religion. Its status has been a constant sticking point in peace negotiations, and it has frequently been the focal point for outbursts of religious violence.
Another participant in Friday’s mock-funeral said that earlier in the morning she has urged two of her children to protest and throw stones. “I would be happy if they returned as martyrs,” she stated.

Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef urged Israelis to stop attempting to enter the flashpoint Temple Mount. He made the comments at the funeral for 17-year-old yeshiva student Shalom Baadani who died Friday morning from wounds sustained during Wednesday’s vehicular terror attack in Jerusalem.
“We need to stop this, only then will the people of Israel’s blood not be spilt” the rabbi said, insinuating that those Jews repeatedly attempting to enter the holy shrine were complicit in the boy’s death.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed Palestinian President Abu Mazen for inciting attacks such as Wednesday’s but is working with Jordan – which oversees the parts of the compound – to restore calm.
However, as the diplomatic rift with Jordan continued, protests occurred throughout the kingdom on Friday in support of the Palestinian people. The protests were initiated by the Islamist movements and the leftist parties in the country.
In one of the protests in Amman, thousands participated and called for the continued resistance against Israeli aggression. In a protest not far from the Israeli Embassy, protestors demanded that the recall of the Jordanian ambassador from Israel be followed with the closure of the Israeli Embassy in Amman.
Also on Wednesday, Jordan recalled its ambassador to Israel, citing Israeli “violations” in Jerusalem, exposing a rift between the two countries, which signed a peace treaty in 1994.

the problem with many Jews is that they confuse being right with being alive. Being right is of little interest to me when compared with being safe. He was lucky you shot him in the leg. If they don’t want to be dead or have dead children then they shouldn’t threaten anyone. The minute they issue a threat a drone should be sent to kill them. The fool arabs are protesting that the guy was retreating as if the guy deserved to live. That guy died because he expected the Jews to follow the “rules” of the game. What cheek that they are upset just like their dead children in gaza. I always said that if you fired a rocket at my child, even if you missed, I would intentionally want to kill ALL their children. If I could read their mind I would kill them for the thought. Why take a risk with my children’s life?
bernard ross Said:
They tried to kill me failed an I finished em off. Today under similar circumstances I would have taken my tire iron and smashed their stinking head in . Prove it didn’t happen in the crash. I would have ditched the tire Iron then. In the end they would be just as dead.
In Yamit I was part of local civil rapid deployment unit and was Issued an AK47 with 5 Mags. I always kept it next to my bed. I employed several Arabs and had a dispute with two.
They came to my house threatening me.
I was lying in bed sick with the flu I told em to get out and will settle the dispute as soon as I was on my feet. They refused so I took the AK and shot one in the leg, they left and I never saw them again.
I learned from my first days in Israel that you never let them believe they have the upper hand Never, no matter what and no matter who is right.
yamit82 Said:
Because this is not happening there is murder, incitement and vultures gathering around hoping for Jewish carcasses. I wonder if Israel is prepared to liquidate hundreds of thousands of muslims marching on Jerusalem or Israel? This is a scenario that should be prepared for and there will need to be a will to kill such an enemy, armed or unarmed, without apology.
yamit82 Said:
I remember, but never heard the details before.
yamit82 Said:
My suspicion is that in today’s times you would be raked over the coals, locked up and sacrificed to PC. they would probably tell you that you should have taken them to the hospital to be treated like BB treats haniyehs children. they would probably try you for murder. My view is that you did everyone a favor. That the moment the thought of harming a Jew came into their head they deserved to die. I feel the same about those who support the pals with words and money: that they are complicit in the attempted murder of Jews and therefore should die.
I get angry to see that Israel tries to spare gaza civilian lives when their wives, mothers and children want to kill Jews. Moreso, it continues the anti semitic double standards because the enemy tries to kill Jewish children while the Jews try to protect theirs. I believe that their civilians should be killed in war as a matter of principle to be clear that no double standards will be accepted; that there can be no observance of any GC when the enemy ignores it. Everytime the Jew accepts a double standard he is participating in the future murder of other Jews.
It is a mistake to return kindness for evil, it invites murder on oneself and, more importantly, ones children. if the world wants peace and stability then they should make sure to protect their Jews. Everyone participating in the libels against the Jews should meet their end because they collaborate in the attempted murder of the Jewish people. It always hones my judgement to realize that the acts of the libelers bring danger to my children. When I think of that I have no problem welcoming the death of all the rachel corries or a conflagration on Europe.

Sorry, HB, I haven’t followed that story at all, it sounded like a replay of others before it.

@ bernard ross:
I’ve told this story before maybe it was before your time?
One day I was in Tel Aviv and coming home to Yamit I had to drive through the Gaza strip bypassing Gaza city.
I passed through IDF Checkpoint and was vitually the only vehicle on the road nothing coming my way .
I had gotten maybe 10 miles into the Strip when suddenly I was rear ended. Before losing control of my car Dodge Dart I braked hard and spun to the other side of on coming traffic apron. Luckily nothing was coming in that direction.
I stopped got out of my car and saw what rammed me a Peugeot station wagon with 5 Arabs in it. The had rammed me on the left taillight. Their car hit a Telephone pillion and I ran across the road to their car my gun was drawn and ready I looked inside and they were all either dead or unconscious.
I didn’t check to see which I put a bullet in the head of each to make sure. walked to may car to inspect damage, not to bad a busted taillight sprung trunk and a dent on my car where they hit me but the motor ran. I gave details to a passing IDF patrol and went home next day I had my car repaired and painted 3 months later the police called me in to take my statement and that was it.
If more Jews acted in a similar fashion the message would be clear
Don’t fuck with us Jews!!!

Once again I say unto you Ferguson, Missouri
Ted, the video keeps reloading every time the page is opened, also on main page
honeybee Said:
I love this video, it reminds me of the rifle butt that Lt.Eisnor gave the smart mouthed dane. The receiver is usually shocked by the reaction which is one of the reasons why it is a good tactic.
the Israeli arabs are of course protesting, telling the Jews to get out, I would love to see them get a triple whammy of the same type of reaction. Instead, the Police will probably be raked over the coals and expelled from the force rather than being paraded as heroes and used as a role model. 🙁

Too bad !!!!!!!!!!
@ honeybee:
Dimona is quiet and peaceful!!
Cómo estás mi amor ???
Yo estaba muy molesto y no pude dormir toda la noche
It is so upsetting to see this happening in the Beautiful City of Jerusalem.
Perhaps BB can reward them by further lifting the blockade and treating more Hamas leader families in israeli hospitals.
Personally I would take the opportunity of these riots to destroy where they live in bits and pieces and making rebuilding difficult in order to make them suffer and hopefully leave. I would not merely stand by and take attacks. Send teams into shuafat and destroy their homes under the pretext of searching for terrorists.
