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.

Israel Instead

Two Border Police officers were lightly hurt in a suspected car ramming attack in the West Bank town of Silat al-Harithiya on Monday night, police said, as troops entered the town, reportedly to demolish the home of a suspect in a previous shooting attack.
According to police, a Palestinian vehicle accelerated toward troops in an armored vehicle and collided with it at at high speed, injuring the two.
The wounded officers were taken for further medical treatment at a nearby base, police said.
It added that the driver of the vehicle was arrested, and was being questioned by security forces.
The incident came amid clashes in the area, as military and police forces entered the town. According to Palestinian media reports, gunfire was also heard nearby, and at least one Palestinian was shot.
There was no immediate statement from the Israel Defense Forces on the incidents.
Dozens of troops entered the town to demolish the home of a suspect charged in the deadly shooting attack near the illegal outpost of Homesh in the northern West Bank last December, according to Palestinian media.
According to the Shin Bet security agency, a cell belonging to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group was behind that attack, in which one man, Yehuda Dimentman, was killed, and two others were lightly wounded...
Tensions have been rising across the West Bank over the past few months. December and January saw repeated “lone wolf” attacks, with Palestinians seeking to stab or run over Israelis. Sunday and Monday saw a pair of stabbing attacks in Jerusalem’s Old City that left four policemen wounded. And two Jewish Israeli men in their 40s were stabbed separately in a store in a West Bank town near Jerusalem, under near-identical circumstances last week.
