While the UN devotes its human rights operations to the demonization of the democratic state of Israel above all others and condemns the United States more often than the vast majority of non-democracies around the world, the voices of real victims around the world must be heard.

An Israeli Border Police officer was lightly wounded in a terrorist stabbing attack outside Jerusalem’s Old City on Sunday night. Magen David Adom personnel treated a fully conscious 20-year-old male in mild condition before evacuating him to the hospital.

Israeli authorities confirmed the victim was attacked at the Damascus Gate in the eastern part of the capital.

“Large police and Border Police forces are on the scene. The terrorist tried to escape into the Old City and was neutralized,” added the authorities. The terrorist’s condition was not immediately clear.

Last month, a Border Police officer was lightly wounded in a terrorist stabbing attack on the Route 60 highway near the tunnel checkpoint at the entrance to Bethlehem on the outskirts of southern Jerusalem.

The 20-year-old female officer was administered medical treatment and evacuated to the capital’s Hadassah Medical Center with minor wounds.

On July 16, Border Police shot and killed a terrorist after he stabbed and lightly wounded one of them in Samaria. The Palestinian assailant was subsequently identified as a 19-year-old resident of the Gaza Strip.
