The statistic includes only the Old City area – which means the full numbers are much worse.
Firebomb attack in Jerusalem
Jerusalem is under a full-blown massive terror onslaught – or “intifada,” as Arabs call it – official statistics prove. The statistics were compiled by the Ministry of Construction and Housing, which operates a security service in the area known as the “Old City Basin.” The area includes the Old City quarters inside the city’s ancient walls, as well as the Mount of Olives, the Silwan (Shiloah) neigborhood and the City of David.
The numbers for June and July indicate an average of close to ten terror attacks per day in this part of the city.
The statistics, which were published in Yediot Aharonot Wednesday, do not include terror attacks in the city’s eastern villages and neighborhoods, and this means that the full numbers for Jerusalem are much worse.
In June and July, a total of 580 terror attacks were documented, against both civilians and security forces. These included 477 rock attacks, as well as 28 firebomb attacks against vehicles and homes in which Jews reside. Additional incidents involved throwing empty glass bottles, firing fireworks and damaging property.
The terror attacks in June peaked at 359, of which 213 were in the City of David sector, 125 at the Mount of Olives and the mountain ridge, and 21 in the Old City. They include 307 rock attacks, 12 firebombs, four cases of grave vandalization at the Mount of Olives, and six attacks against Jews in the Old City, five of them against civilians and one aimed at a Border Police warrior.
The total of recorded terror events was down slightly in July, at 221. They included 170 rock attacks, 16 firebombs, one grave desecration, four incidents in which Arabs threw glass bottles at Jews, and several fireworks attacks.
The Jerusalem Police said in response that its “resolute” actions against terrorism led to a decline in terror attacks in the last few months, noting that most of the attacks are carried out against security forces, because of the ongoing friction between them and lawbreakers in eastern Jerusalem.
The PLO is a kleptocracy. It’s raison d’être is to steal from the peons and bestow largesse to the leadership. Kinda like the GOP.
Expert: PLO Has Failed in Everything
Middle East expert Dr. Mordechai Kedar says Palestinian Authority is about to ‘die totally’ and that may be why Abbas is leaving.

Apparently rivlin and Yaalon are busy pursuing and incrcerating Jews who dissent from their politics. The dissenting settlers are the true threat in rivlin and Yaalons eyes,….. the eyes of those who jumped on a lynch mob bandwagon against Jews without a shred of evidence.
It is the ideas of freedom and zionism that they are afraid of as they have no evidence of any jewish terror orgs. The settlers are in the forefront of zionism as opposed to the liars of the zionist union who pollute the word zionism as they daily seek to give zion to the arabs.
Ted, I’m afraid the intensity and frequency of the attacks is meant to provoke Israel to counter attack. Do you think the reason for it could be for Iran to attack Israel while the Israelis are fighting the intifada defending Israel and keeping the population and their families safe?
yamit82 and honeybee, we miss you. Come back. honeybee unless he has been trying to seduce the Indian women of the tribe who is keeping him from the enraged Israeli husbands. There is no reason why he should be absent. Ask him to come back.
BTW the assassin was an Egyptian-American from NJ. He has two accomplices who were never charged. Does anyone knows if the killer is still in jail? Sayid was the name of the bastard who killed him. I do not know the last name. May he rot in hell for eternity.
Whenever someone logical and with common sense appears. The liberal establishment stars badmouthing the person and painting him as what a normal person nowadays is called an extremist.
I use to enjoy Rabbi Kahane ideas. He was definitely a visionary. People tendency is to think about right now and never about the future or much less the consequences of their actions. By telling the truth he became controversial. Predicting what would happen as a result of the idiotic peace liberals at the time. He was a realist. They called him a radical fanatic. Time has proven him right and we cannot get him back and apologize.
Where are now the idiots who with their criticisms caused his death? I hope he rots in jail. Time and time again he has been right.
I readily concede that Rabbi Kahane was right all along. Eventually, all but the most dishonest will concede that he was right. Bold visionaries are always despised in their own time. Kahane will one day be recognized as having been a great prophet.
Do you think R. Khane might have been right – “They Must Go”?
And if not at what point exactly would you concede that he was right all along?
