The Islamic Jihad and Hamas have called for the 3rd intifada to begin against Israel. Riots have broken out in some parts of Judea and Samaria even though the Palestinian Authority there has said that they don't want it to happen. Six Israelis were injured. This happened on the 13th anniversary of the 2nd Palestinian Intifada. The 2nd one, or Al-Aqsa Intifada started in September 2000 and ended in 2005 with 3,000 Palestinians dead and 1,000 Israelis as well as 64 foreigners. During peace negotiations, this tells us something. Abbas does not have control over his people. This is not demonstrating the value of their neighborliness. It's showing why Netanyahu is so adamant about security.
Riots started up in Hebron, an ancient city of Judah, on September 27th. This is the city where Abraham bought a plot of land called the Cave of Machpelah in which to bury his wife, Sarah. Jews had lived here since then, but in 1929, Arabs massacred almost all the 700 Jews in Hebron , causing survivors to flee. Some returned in 19331 only to have faced more riots in 1936. Today a mosque stands on this site. After the Six Day War of 1967, a number of Jews again settled in Hebron, establishing the Kiryat Arba quarter east of the city. They had a population of 3,700 in 1988. Rioting has happened in east Jerusalem
Friday, which is the Muslim holy day and when Shabbat starts for Jews at sundown, an IDF soldier was wounded by a stone that was thrown at him just north of Hebron in the village of Beit Ummar. He was treated right there by a medical team. Dozens, meaning more than 24 Palestinians of Hebron were throwing stones and lighting their garbage cans on fire. The IDF in return shot rubber bullets at the protesters, injuring about 4 Arabs.
Ramallah
Other outbursts came from the old Christian village of Ni'lin outside Ramallah, now almost all Muslim, which is 6 miles north of Jerusalem, where an Israeli was injured and taken to Tel Hashomer Hospital and treated for minor wounds. Ramallah is in Judea/Samaria. Near Ramallah is the Ofer prison where a a demonstration outside was taking place. Rock throwing and tire burning were part of the demonstration. Several Palestinian Arabs received some slight injuries during this riot. Evidently the peace talks have stalled as well. Ramallah is where they meet. The problem is that paramount in importance to Israel is the settlement about borders and Israel's security which Abbas is avoiding. This peace initiative started in July. Now the USA has sent Martin Indyk to lead the meetings and he hopes to get more accomplished. He should be there now to see why security is so important and see how friendly our neighbors are behaving with this uprising called an intifada.
Two Palestinians were caught carrying fire bombs near Bethlehem, which is almost all Muslim today. They also threw rocks and burned tires, causing the IDF to respond with tear gas, stun grenades and rubber bullets.
In northern Gaza, there was a demonstration of Hamas governed Palestinians who were marching toward the Israeli border fence, meaning to tear it apart, no doubt. The IDF managed to disperse them.
The actions of the 1st intifada started on December 6, 1987 with the stabbing of an Israeli in Gaza while shopping. Rioting then was instigated on December 9, 1987 in the Jabalia refugee camp. A 17 year old threw a molotov cocktail at an IDF soldier and he was shot in return. This brought on the intifada to Gaza, Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria. It didn't really stop until the 1993 Oslo Accords. The Madrid Conference of 1991 slowed things down a little. About 1,000 Palestinians lost their lives during this 6 year demonstration.
A 9 year old girl was shot point blank in the chest on Shabbat by a rifle from a black masked rioting shooter in Psagot, a Jewish town in Judea/Samaria with a population of 1,623 back in 2008. No one can be safe in such rioting. Psagot lies outside Ramallah and seems cuts off the expansion of the larger city. When Israel won land by the Arab attack in 1967 when resulted in the Arab loss, Israel gave the people of Ramallah Israel identity cards which meant they could travel into Israel and Gaza. Yet they were the first to rebel in the 1st intifada.
One wonders if this anniversary Intifada was called in reaction to the Muslim Brotherhood being dismantled in Egypt. They held the same type of doctrine as Hamas.
Abbas had agreed in July to 9 months of discussions about a resolution between Israel and the Arabs' desire to create their own state of Palestine out of part of Israel, but Hamas threw him out of Gaza and now seems to be trying to take over Abbas's territory. Even during a peace talk, there is no peace.
