14-Nov-14: Terrorist bomb attack on Israeli military court is thwarted (thankfully) by a man doing his job

Yet another terrorist attack with huge loss of life... that did not happen. An Israeli security officer was alert and purposeful, thank Heavens, and the only serious consequence is that two young men are now looking at lengthy terms of imprisonment.

Ynet reported this morning on the indictment of two Palestinian Arab youths on charges of attempting a terrorist attack at the Samaria military court near Megiddo. Armed with makeshift explosive devices hidden in their clothing, they aimed to explode them and kill the court's three judges together with as many soldiers and officers serving at the base as possible. Finding that the court had adjourned and the security checkpost was closed, they placed a bag with the explosive device on the floor. The suspicions of a policeman at the scene were aroused, and - in the laconic language of the Ynet report - he "arrested the two".

How soon before the alleged perpetrators appear in media complaints about Israel's alleged unfair treatment of alleged underage offenders?

About us

THIS ONGOING WAR is not part of the activity of the Malki Foundation which was founded by us, Frimet and Arnold Roth of Jerusalem, on September 11, 2001. But it is inspired by the same tragic circumstances. The Malki Foundation (also known by its Hebrew name: Keren Malki) is a memorial to the life of our daughter, Malki who was murdered at the age of 15 in a massacre in the centre of Jerusalem carried out by Hamas.

Beyond its function as a remembrance of a beautiful life, the foundation provides tangible, concrete, invaluable support daily to several thousand Israeli families from every part of the religious and socio-economic spectrum: Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze and others who care at home for a seriously disabled child.

Good for the soul | The Malki Foundation

If you care to make a positive and constructive contribution to the care of Israeli children with special needs - whether they're Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze or unconnected to any particular faith community - you can't do better than direct your donation to the work of the Malki Foundation.

It's the charitable organization we, the bloggers who produce This Ongoing War, established in 2001 in memory of our murdered daughter. Her name is Malki.

Keren Malki (in Hebrew, Keren means 'foundation' or 'fund') is efficient, effective, non-sectarian, non-political and unique in the good work it does. Thousands of families from every part of our richly diverse society here in Israel have benefited in concrete and meaningful ways. Donations to Keren Malki are tax-effective in Israel, Canada, UK and the United States.

There's also plenty of background at www.malkifoundation.org as well as on the Malki Foundation Blog.
