ATTACK IN JERUSALEM – AT 10:54 A.M. ET: One day after a gun attack at Fort Lauderdale airport, carried out by a man who'd been photographed giving the ISIS salute, there is news of another attack in Jerusalem. From Fox:
A Palestinian who may be linked to ISIS rammed his speeding truck into a group of Israeli soldiers in Jerusalem Sunday, killing four people and wounding 15 others before being shot dead in one of the deadliest attacks in a year-long campaign of violence, Israeli police said.
Five people were arrested Sunday -- including the assailant's father and brother -- in connection with the attack.
"Today we saw evil and cruelty incarnate," Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon said in a statement. "This murderous attack is a direct result of murderous Palestinian incitement. I call on the Secretary General and the Security Council to condemn this terror attack immediately."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the truck's driver had been identified and appeared to be "a supporter of the Islamic State." Netanyahu, speaking at the scene of the slaughter, added there "definitely could be a connection" between Sunday's horrific attack and similar ISIS truck attacks that took place in France and Germany in recent months.
COMMENT: In a sad way, we're getting used to these attacks, even here in the United States. They're forgotten quickly, and no real retaliation is carried out.
What did France do after the horrific attacks in its homeland? Mostly nothing. Next week it will host an international conference stacked against Israel, another act of French appeasement of the West's enemies. European and British appeasement were among the leading causes of World War II.
But within two weeks we will have a new president, and maybe, just maybe, things will change for the better.
