Palestinians Murder Israeli Civilians, Celebrate. Media, Western Governments Downplay. Because Hey, It’s Just Jews.

Ben Shapiro

On Wednesday, two Palestinians dressed as ultra-Orthodox diners shot up the Sarona Market in Tel Aviv. Thirteen people were shot, and four Israelis were murdered. The two terrorists were captured. Amir Ohana, a Knesset member in Israel, described the scene: “People were having coffee. I saw a birthday cake on one of the tables. And then you see the chairs upside down and glass shattered and blood all over.” The dead: a professor at Ben Gurion University, a former special forces fighter with two children, a young mother of four children, and an engaged woman who just had enough time to call her fiancée before dying of her wounds.

This was a textbook terror attack. Israel has weathered such attacks for decades, but small-scale attacks on soft targets have escalated dramatically in recent years, particularly by knife.
