Death toll hits 30 in recent wave of Israeli-Palestinian violence

Source: CBS News

JERUSALEM - What began as a disagreement over access to a Jerusalem holy site important to Jews, Christians and Muslims has erupted into a massive outpouring of violence that has so far killed 25 Palestinians and 5 Israelis.

A Palestinian man attacked an Israeli officer with a knife Monday at the entrance to Jerusalem's Old City and was shot dead by police, Israeli police said, in the latest attack in the recent wave of Israeli-Palestinian violence.

Paramilitary border police officers noticed the Palestinian acting suspiciously and ordered him to take his hand out of his pocket, Israeli police spokeswoman Luba Samri said. The man then attacked an officer with a knife, but he was wearing a protective vest and was not injured, she said.

The attack took place near the Lions Gate of Jerusalem's walled Old City on the predominantly Arab eastern side of the city.

Which is it? There was an article just today or yesterday about Israel bombing their own cities again? Did you miss that one on purpose? You don't remember the story about a woman and her baby being killed by dropped bombs? I know, I know, knife wielding assailants kill more than F-16s.

Please pretend all you want about my wanting it to be a game. It's about Israel wanting to drive the Palestinians out of there homeland so that they may create a "greater Israel". Jewish immigrants pour in while Palestinian refugees languish in Lebanon and elsewhere, pushed out. Or walled inside places like the West Bank or Gaza. You do the math. It comes to only one conclusion. The Palestinians die in far greater numbers. The Palestinians are pushed out of Israel in huge numbers while settlers take their place.

1+1=2.

It does not equal some strange delusion.
