Things are Slowly Getting Worse in Israel

there were 2 stabbings today and other recent attacks like the guy who ran his car into a group of people. we aren't hearing much about these things because individually they seem small and are most likely carried out by an individual acting on their own rather than an organized group.

but it looks like it will just get worse and israel will increase security . netanyahu needs to deal with his problems at home instead of worrying about the us and iran.

do people know it's things like this which gets others to support people like Netanyahu ?

<An Israeli woman has been killed and three others wounded in two separate Palestinian knife attacks as months of unrest in Jerusalem spread across Israel and the occupied West Bank.

Monday's violence began in Tel Aviv, where a Palestinian teenager from the northern West Bank stabbed a 20-year-old soldier, leaving him in critical condition. The assailant fled but was arrested.

Hours later, another Palestinian attacked three Israelis outside Alon Shvut settlement in the southern West Bank, killing a young woman and wounding two other people before a security guard shot and critically wounded him.

The European Union strongly condemned the attacks, with the office of EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini "extremely worried" by the current situation and warning it could further deteriorate "in the absence of political perspective".

Since the northern summer, Israel has significantly increased its police presence on the streets in a bid to rein in the unrest, but has been unable to stop a growing number of attacks by lone Palestinians, most of them in Jerusalem.>

Which is why - to put the shoe on the other foot on that silly statement in the post - do people know that what Israel does to the Palestinians every day gets people to support just about any strike at Israel or Israelis?

A handful of attacks in Israel, in light of just this year's wholesale destruction of Gaza, just isn't all that surprising.
