I've Been Thinking:
The terror attack in Jerusalem yesterday is a game changer, it is an absolute watershed.
Let me explain why: The attack took place in a synagogue -- no one, not even the most secular person, can understand how Palestinians could attack Jews in the act of prayer. Americans, especially US leadership, were shocked. Even Muslim leadership in certain parts of the world were stunned that the terrorists chose to murder people in the act of prayer.
The attack place in Jerusalem where Israel is in charge of security - not the Palestinian Authority.
The two terrorists who perpetrated this attack came from within
Jerusalem. They were from a Jerusalem that, in 1967, was offered
Israeli citizenship. Rather than citizenship the villagers chose to become permanent residents. People ask how the terrorists were able to get in to Jerusalem. They did not have to get in, they were in, these terrorists lived in Jerusalem.
In the aftermath, Palestinian Incitement continues. Even as Abbas condemned the attack, he justified the attack by giving it context. Abbas explained that it is because of the occupation and Israeli disrespect of Al Aksa that the attack was perpetrated.
This attack was not spontaneous. It was planned. The terrorists knew the workings and timing of the synagogue. A huge amount of preparation went into this attack.
Was not a single lone wolf at least 2 were involved if not more.
The many of victims were dual citizens - 3 were Americans and one from Great Britain.
Was not on the seam of the city between Arab and Jewish sides of Jerusalem.
