In a Palestinian culture of hatred and violence, like mother, like son

...Supporters of the Palestinian cause are always telling us that ordinary Palestinians are just like ordinary folks everywhere. They claim that Palestinian moms and dads have the same concerns as moms and dads in America, Israel, and anyplace else. But when we see what it is that many Palestinian moms and dads actually say and do, we have to rethink those kinds of assumptions.

JNS.org – The details of last month’s stabbing of two elderly Israeli women have finally been released, and they include several troubling revelations.

On May 11, the two women, ages 82 and 86, were stabbed by two Palestinian terrorists on the popular Haas Promenade in Jerusalem’s Armon Hanatziv neighborhood. We already knew, from one of the victims’ friends, that Arab workers standing nearby refused her pleas to call an ambulance.

But now we also know—from the details that the Israeli police recently released—that the attackers discussed their plans for the attack on their Facebook pages, and that after the attack, they also communicated via WhatsApp. Remember when we used to think that economic advancement, and the availability of modern technology, would lead the Palestinians to become more moderate? Remember the idea that if the Arabs personally experienced the benefits of the modern world, they would not risk losing it by resorting to terrorism? Instead of Facebook and WhatsApp leading to moderation, young Arabs are using them in the service of extremism and violence.

The most disturbing revelation about the May 11 attack is that the two attackers were only 16 and 17 years old, and the mother of one of them was herself recently arrested for attempting to stab Jews near Jerusalem.
