Arab Terrorist Propaganda in Jerusalem

The Arab terrorists in Israel (the Palestinians) have claimed that 13 year old Ahmed Manasra was gunned down by Israeli solders after the teen tried to stab two people, including a Jewish teenager. Now CBS News has obtained confirmation that Manasra is in Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem recovering, and very much alive. This is part of the propaganda war that the Palestinians wage every time they start a fight against Israel. Usually it works because news organizations such as CBS and CNN are so pro-Palestinian in their reporting that they believe the stories. Once the Israeli government provides proof that the Palestinians lied, there rarely is a corrective story. This happened to be the exception. But then…

The CBS story went on to apologetically describe that there have been a “string of knife attacks against Israelis.” The story reported: “Palestinians, mostly young men, armed with knives, appear out of nowhere, stabbing as many as they can. Their targets appear to be random — which has only added to the fear. All the suspects have been arrested or shot by Israeli security forces, including one woman gunned down at a bus station.” In other words, CBS is giving the impression that the Palestinians were just out having a little fun scaring people with knives and the evil Israeli Security Forces gunned them down. The media doesn’t seem to think that if you are out trying to kill innocent people, there may be consequences.

We have the same situation here in the US. Certain people attack or kill police officers and somehow the news media believes it is their right to do so because they have been victims of social injustice. No one seems to want to focus on the choice an individual makes to perpetrate violence on another human being. It all is justified in some sort of twisted idea that if you are a member of a group of people that some consider “oppressed” or “disadvantaged,” that it gives license to breaking things up and being violent against others. It doesn’t. There are laws. Both America and Israel have laws that protect people from being randomly attacked by others. Yet, there are some who believe there should be exceptions.

In watching the news coverage of the new wave of Palestinian terrorism in the streets of Jerusalem, one would think that every Jew that lives in Israel is at fault for being there. That these Palestinians are angry because they are being occupied and that gives them some sort of pass to kill. Nothing could be further from the truth. If this was about land, why then would the Palestinians be interested in .2% of the Middle East in land mass when Islam already controls about 33% of the entire land mass of the world? This is about killing Jews. Psalm 122:6 says, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love you.” It’s also important to keep in mind the words of Jesus in Matthew 24:4, “Take heed that no man deceive you.”
