Rare video footage shows the panic inside an Egged 174 bus after driver was hit by a rock thrown through the window.
The bus was ambushed by Arab terrorists armed with rocks on Saturday night. The driver suffered wounds to the head and lost consciousness, according to passengers. Apparently, however, he successfully brought the bus to a stop before passing out. A passenger said that the bus had been traveling down an incline and if the driver had not functioned as he had, all of the passengers could have lost their lives in the crash that would have resulted.
Rock ambushes have become exceedingly common on the roads of Judea and Samaria and are widely ignored despite the great danger they pose.
Rioters clash with police in northern Israel
Residents hurl stones, firebombs at police in Tamra, Nazareth; stretches of highway 70 closed to traffic; police gear up for further clashes
By Times of Israel staff
via The Times of Israel | News from Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish World.
Clashes between Palestinians and Israeli police reignited on Sunday afternoon for the fifth day running, shortly after the Shin Bet confirmed that several Jewish suspects had been arrested in connection with the murder of East Jerusalem teenager Muhammed Abu Khdeir, 16.
A number of riots erupted in northern Israel, off of Routes 70 and 65, and in areas near Nazareth. Police were dispatched to quell the violence, but police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld maintained the area was “relatively quiet.”
Some 200 Israeli-Arabs demonstrated at the entrance of the northern Israel town of Tamra, as residents hurled stones and firebombs at riot police on the scene.
Police arrested 11 people in Tamra, the Ynet news site reported.
Concurrently, dozens of others rallied at the Yabor junction off of Route 70. Stretches of the highway, as well as the main road in Nazareth were closed to traffic.
Meanwhile, three Palestinians laborers were attacked in the Israeli town of Hadera. One was lightly injured in the scuffle, and police are investigating the incident.
Police have beefed up their presence in the capital and up north, and anticipate further clashes in the evening after observers of the Muslim Ramadan break their fasts.
The most recent wave of violence comes hours after the police and Shin Bet confirmed that several Jewish suspects are in custody in connection with the abduction and killing of Abu Khdeir. The Shin Bet security service says the slaying was likely nationalistically motivated, in response to the killings of Gil-ad Shaar, 16, Naftali Fraenkel, 16, and Eyal Yifrach, 19.
On Saturday, the Palestinian Authority attorney-general, Dr. Muhammed Abed al-Ghani al-Aweiwi, said that Abu Khdeir was burned alive, according to the preliminary findings of the autopsy.
Abu Khdeir’s killing sparked widespread violent protests throughout East Jerusalem and in other parts of Israel since his body was found.
60% of Palestinian Arabs Say Five-Year National Goal is to Destroy Israel
VIDEOJuly 3, 2014 9:19 am
The Washington Institute for Near East Policy recently commissioned a survey of Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza. The results prove yet again that Palestinian Arab attitudes towards Israel are anything but peaceful.
The clear majority of Palestinians polled – 60 percent, including 55 percent in the West Bank – say that their five year national goal should be “to work toward reclaiming all of historic Palestine from the river to the sea.”
Yes, despite the insistence of biased “experts” who claim that Palestinian Arabs support a two-state solution and only want peace with Israel, the fact is that a convincing majority explicitly say that the real goal is to eliminate Israel altogether.
Only 27 percent said the goal should be to “end the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza to achieve a two-state solution,” and 10 percent said, “The goal should be to work for a one-state solution in all of the land: a state in which Arabs and Jews will have equal rights in one country, from the river to the sea.”
What about the supposedly peaceful Palestinian Arabs who told other pollsters that they want a two-state solution? What exactly do they mean?
As in one previous survey, this poll confirms that the majority of Palestinians regard the “two state solution” as a Trojan horse, a mere stage in the ultimate goal to destroy Israel.
Sixty-four say that after a peace deal is signed with Israel, “resistance should continue until all of historic Palestine is liberated.” And 65 percent say that the Palestinian Arab leadership agrees; that any negotiated solution “would be part of a ‘program of stages,’ to liberate all of historic Palestine later.”
This is about as explicit as can be. The conventional wisdom that a majority of Palestinian Arabs want a permanent peace with Israel is a baseless myth. It is based on flawed surveys which do not list the alternative of an Arab-only state from the river to the sea.
The survey, released June 25, was all but ignored in the media. Besides Zionist media, I cannot find a single mention of the survey anywhere else. The reason is simple: the mainstream media and pundits are ideologically wedded to the two-state solution and this involves willful blindness towards the majority of Palestinians who see it, at best, as a stage in destroying Israel.
The same thing happened with a similar survey released in 2011, the first one to actually dig deeper into the answers that Palestinian Arabs give to pollsters. That one even went further to expose Palestinian Arab antipathy towards real peace, as I showed in this video:
The scandal isn’t that Palestinian Arabs have these attitudes. Anyone with an open mind and research skills knows that already.
The scandal is the conspiracy of silence to suppress this information.
The scandal is the millions of dollars being spent to pressure Israel to accept a “peace” that would be anything but peaceful.
The scandal is that over 20 years after Oslo, there is no credible attempt on the part of the international community to encourage Palestinian Arab acceptance of Israel as a permanent neighbor.
The scandal is that as a result of the willful blindness – or malicious intent – of politicians and media “experts,” the world has exactly the wrong impression as to who wants peace and who wants to destroy the other side.
That’s why this survey was buried, while the polls that use flawed questions get coverage.
Burying the truth is the biggest scandal of all.
Gaza Terrorists Fire 12 More Rockets into Israel
Rockets start a fire inside southern town.
Over 110 rockets fired in current round of hostilities.

via Gaza Terrorists Fire 12 More Rockets into Israel – Defense/Security – News – Arutz Sheva.
The terrorist rocket fire from Hamas-controlled Gaza continued Sunday afternoon. Twelve rockets struck Israel in total in the latest salvo, and landed in the Eshkol and Shaar Hanegev regions. One of the rockets exploded inside a Jewish community and caused a fire to break out. No one was hurt.
Terrorists have fired a total of more than 110 rockets at Israel in the escalation that took place in recent weeks, following the abduction and murder of three yeshiva students and the subsequent IDF operation against Hamas in Judea and Samaria. Most of these rockets struck empty spaces. Ten rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome system.
A military source rejected the criticism of the IDF’s policy of restraint vis-a-vis the escalation in Gaza. A military source said that the IDF has the capacity to carry out any operation in Gaza, including its reconquest, but “the circumstances, conditions and consequences” must be examined.
The source said that the IDF is raising its level of preparedness, but that Israel prefers to avoid escalation and prevent “a general conflagration.”

( “Even the worst Jewish extremist couldn’t resort to that level of barbarism, we tried to convince ourselves. After all, we still have our Jewish values.” These had been my exact thoughts. Jews are a collective society. There’s no ducking responsibility for actions other Jews take. I’m in stunned horror and grief. May God forgive us. – JW )

The disclosure of the suspects in last week’s horrific murder of Shuafat teen Muhammad Abu Khdeir represents – aside from the assassination of prime minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1995 – the darkest hour for the Jewish state since Baruch Goldstein went on a rampage 20 years ago in Hebron, killing 29 Palestinian worshipers and injuring 115 more.
It was so easy to think over the last few days that it couldn’t have been Jews who dragged the 16-year-old Khdeir into their car, drove him to the Jerusalem Forest, set him on fire and despicably murdered him as revenge for the equally brutal deaths of teenagers Gil-Ad Shaer, Naftali Fraenkel, and Eyal Yifrah. Let it be an internal Arab feud or an honor killing. Even the worst Jewish extremist couldn’t resort to that level of barbarism, we tried to convince ourselves. After all, we still have our Jewish values.
But the facts leading up to Khdeir’s death were impossible to ignore. At the same time that the three Israeli victims were being eulogized and buried last Wednesday, an angry Jewish mob was marching on Jerusalem’s Jaffa Road shouting “Death to Arabs” and “Revenge” while they attempted to storm businesses employing Arab workers and demand their ouster.
Arrests by the police and condemnation by civic and political leaders did little to quell the thirst for Arab blood, however. And a few hours later, the revolting events played out that were revealed by the police Sunday.
It raises questions about who we are and who we are becoming. Granted, Israeli and Palestinian societies reacted so differently to the murders of their countrymen. Israelis grieved, held rallies, called for unity and struggled with how to make things better. A few thugs amid the vast majority decided to take revenge. Arab communities, on the other hand, have reacted by widespread rock throwing, dragging Jews out of their cars and setting the vehicles on fire, and violent civil disobedience. The fact that Arab society still doesn’t know how to express itself without violence is an issue that only they can deal with, if they so choose.
The behavior of Jewish citizens of Israel is an issue for all of us. Regardless of the anger, hate and urge for vengeance that we feel when yet another terror attack occurs and Palestinians kill yet another innocent Israeli, there is no room for vigilantes.
It’s time to decide what kind of society we want to be: one where excessive beating of suspects by Border Police are accepted with a roll of the eyes and ‘what can you do’ shrug, one where Jewish brutes yelling “death to Arabs” is tolerated and some circles, even encouraged, or one where there is zero tolerance for such behavior. Anti-Arab racism and Jewish terror are now out in the open for everyone to see, and can no longer be swept under the couch.
With the events over the last week threatening to unravel into a larger, long-term conflict, and with our leaders unable or unwilling to lead, it’s time for the citizens of Israel to wake up and say, ‘enough.’
It’s been clear for a long time to anyone not blinded by ideology that Jews and Arabs are destined to share this land. As we continue to inflict atrocities upon each other and the differences between the extremists on both sides blur into one ugly stain, it’s also become clear why we’re still embroiled in this never-ending struggle – we deserve each other.
Barrage of rocket fire hits South amid calls for Gaza operation
Sha’ar Hanegev, Eshkol and Ashkelon Coast areas battered with rockets; residents instructed to stay in fortified shelters.

A barrage of rocket fire hit southern Israel on Sunday afternoon amid calls from within Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s coalition for a wide-scale mission in the Gaza Strip.
The Sha’ar Hanegev Regional Council area was battered with ten rockets from Gaza. Residents of the communities in the Sha’ar Hanegev area were instructed to remain in fortified shelters.
Three rockets hit the Eshkol Regional Council area , one of which started a brush fire, and an additional two rockets landed in open territory in the Ashkelon Coast Council region.
At least 150 rockets have landed in Israeli territory since June 14 when the West Bank operation to find three Israeli teens kidnapped and murdered by Hamas commenced , the IDF said Sunday.
While Economy Minister Naftali Bennett and Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman have called for a wide-scale operation in Gaza, Israel has thus far limited its response to air strikes on select terror targets.
Netanyahu said at Sunday’s cabinet meeting that Israel must act “with composure and responsibly,” and not with “militancy or rashness.”
Israeli warplanes struck rocket-launching targets in the Gaza Strip before dawn on Sunday, the army announced.
According to the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit, IAF aircraft hit 10 targets in central and southern Gaza.
Palestinians in Gaza fired Grad rockets at Beersheba and Ashkelon on Saturday evening, escalating their ongoing attacks on the South.
Iron Dome anti-rocket batteries intercepted one rocket over Beersheba for the first time since Israel clashed with Hamas in November 2012, and soon afterward, three more rockets were intercepted over Ashkelon. Several additional rockets hit open areas in the Sha’ar Hanegev and Ashkelon regions.
On Saturday evening, the Israel Air Force struck in Gaza, targeting a terrorist who was about to fire a rocket, the military said. The terrorist had fired rockets at Ofakim in recent days, the IDF added.
Palestinian rocket and mortar fire continued to target southern communities throughout the weekend, with some 30 projectiles striking areas close to the Gaza border on Friday and Saturday.
A soldier was wounded by shrapnel from a projectile in the Eshkol region on Saturday.
Paramedics evacuated him to the hospital.
Earlier in the day, the Iron Dome system intercepted a projectile over the town of Ofakim.
The regions of Sdot Negev and Eshkol came under regular projectile fire throughout the day. The air force struck three Hamas targets in southern Gaza.
IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz visited the northern Gaza border region on Saturday and met with military forces operating in the sector. Gantz spoke with infantry and tank unit commanders and examined preparations under way for a possible escalation.
Gantz was accompanied by OC Southern Command Maj.-Gen. Sami Turgeman, as well as the commanders of the Planning Branch and C4I (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence) Branch.
Gantz said Hamas bears responsibility for rocket firea, and the IDF is prepared to provide any necessary response to ensure residents of the South can lead routine lives.
“We’ll know how to respond with great force if quiet isn’t returned to the area,” he said.
ISIS Threatening a New Jewish Holocaust”
The Real Zionist Holocaust is Predicted in the Hadiths!

SIS, the terrorist group controlling parts of Syria and Iraq, is using social media to promise another Holocaust against the Jews. The group’s supporter placed a post on Twitter quoting Muslim Hadith (traditionally a statements or action of Muhammad) that says in part, “The Real Zionist Holocaust is Predicted in the Hadiths! The Hour [resurrection] will not take place until the Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims kill them.”
An English translation of speech by ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was posted on the internet Tuesday. In the oration, al-Baghdadi launched into an anti-Semitic diatribe:
So listen, O ummah of Islam. Listen and comprehend. Stand up and rise. For the time has come for you to free yourself from the shackles of weakness, and stand in the face of tyranny, against the treacherous rulers – the agents of the crusaders and the atheists, and the guards of the Jews.
O ummah of Islam, indeed the world today has been divided into two camps and two trenches, with no third camp present: The camp of Islam and faith, and the camp of kufr (disbelief) and hypocrisy – the camp of the Muslims and the mujahidin everywhere, and the camp of the Jews, the crusaders, their allies, and with them the rest of the nations and religions of kufr, all being led by America and Russia, and being mobilized by the Jews.
A ISIS video posted on June 2 (above) encourages violence against Christians and Jews, writing, “Break the crosses and destroy the lineage of the grandsons of monkeys [Jews].”
Many Americans who argue against any U.S. action against ISIS claim that we have no stake against the terrorist group. However ISIS’s own propaganda demonstrates their violent intentions extend beyond Syria and Iraq and into Jewish and Christian communities across the world.

REPORT: The IDF Is Preparing for an Escalation against HamasHamas continues to fire at the Gaza vaccinity communities despite the discussion of a ceasefire and Israeli security officials hinted:
“We may have to give a serious blow.” Hamas is most likely operating under duress after the IDF damaged their infrastructure in Judea and Samaria.
Jul 06, 2014, 02:25PM | Rachel Avraham
via Israel News – REPORT: The IDF Is Preparing for an Escalation against Hamas – JerusalemOnline.
Hamas did not take responsibility for the continued rocket fire but in recent days is actually the one singing, but in a rude and angry tone. During the weekend, Israel conveyed strong messages and very much attacked Hamas, but Jerusalem still identifies the gap in the answers that she received: “we are not interested in an escalation” in a situation where the rocket fire continues in certain areas.
At the same time, Israel continues her prudent policy of providing hard blows such as during the air strikes last night and doesn’t attack real estate, but missile storage sites and rocket launchers for long-range rockets that can reach Gush Dan. It is said that the blows are hard, but Hamas is not firing at Jerusalem or at Central Israel.
Hamas is in distress after failing with the abduction. Finding the bodies prevented bargaining and the release of Palestinian terrorists, including 450 people detained in recent week as part of Operation Brother’s Keeper. Hamas’ infrastructure in Judea and Samaria suffered significantly, after the closing down of their client organizations and arresting their terrorists. Hamas members didn’t just threaten and shout, as they understand the greatness of the blow.
Abu Mazen did not oppose the Israeli action and even helped in the end. In Gaza, Hamas hasn’t paid salaries for almost three months. The reconciliation agreement with Fatah has faded. The Egyptians have an iron fist against Hamas at the border crossings and in the tunnels. Therefore, it seems that Hamas is firing into Israel out of distress.
Israel must now act wisely. The goal is to hit Hamas without causing them to collapse, thus preventing the rise of more radical terrorist organizations supported by Iran, such as the Islamic Jihad.
Peres Advocates Talks, Cease Fire Despite AttacksPresident calls to fight Hamas after rocket fire escalates, but holds out for peace talks with PA as riots rage – and even a ceasefire.

via Peres Advocates Talks, Cease Fire Despite Attacks – Defense/Security – News – Arutz Sheva.
President Shimon Peres addressed the tense security situation across Israel on Sunday, vowing both to bring the perpetrators of the abduction and murder of an Arab teenager to justice and to push for deterrence against Hamas.
“Mohammed Abu Khder was murdered horribly,” Peres began. The 16 year-old’s body was found last week in the Jerusalem Forest. “The police are investigating the murder thoroughly and I am sure we will see results.”
“We will not sweep this under the rug,” he added. “The culprits will be caught and punished to the full extent of the law – there is no difference between [Arab] blood and [Israeli] blood.”
Police arrested six suspects in the murder Sunday afternoon, hours after sources close to the case stated that it was highly likely to have been a nationalistic crime.
Riots in Jerusalem and across Israel have exploded since Abu Khder’s body was found last week, sparking waves of terror against Jews and Israelis over the assumption that the murder was a “revenge crime” for the murders of Israeli teens Naftali Frenkel (16), Gilad Sha’ar (16), and Eyal Yifrah (19).
‘Hamas and the Palestinian Authority are not the same’
Peres also addressed the barrage of rocket fire from Gaza. Over 112 rockets have been fired on Israel since Wednesday and at least 137 have been fired in the past three weeks.
“An important goal is to separate the Palestinian Authority (PA) from Hamas,” Peres insisted. “Hamas is a terrorist organization that wants to kill, devastate, and hurt innocent people, while some Palestinians are moderates pushing for peace.”
“We must differentiate between the two and fight with all our might against terrorism,” he added.
Meanwhile, he rejected the many claims that Israel is ready to launch a full-scale assault on Gaza if rocket fire continues.
“The Israeli government has emphasized that if rocket fire ceases, we will not launch an assault on Gaza; it’s plain and simple,” he stated. “Israel has shown a decent amount of restraint so far, but if they do not cease fire, Israel will protect itself.”
Hamas has been ignoring the IDF’s ultimatum, which on Thursday called to stop the rocket fire within 48 hours or face war.
Several ministers and MKs have called for Israel to retake or attack Gaza and institute a “zero tolerance” policy against terrorism over the weekend, after Hamas rocket fire on Israel and violence against Jewish Israelis has increased dramatically.
Peres’s statements fly in the face of something of a rare consensus among ministers Sunday, as even Justice Minister and peace talks advocate Tzipi Livni (HaTnua) admitted that ‘there is no hope for peace’ as long as Hamas is involved and called for action against the terrorists.
