02-Aug-17: In Gush Etzion, a thwarted Arab-on-Israel knifing attack this afternoon

At the Etzion Junction south of Jerusalem in the cluster of communities called Gush Etzion, IDF soldiers - part of the large contingent securing the busy area - arrested a Palestinian Arab female who came at them with a knife, as so many other Arabs have in the past two years of lethal Arab-on-Israel violence.

The army, quoted in Times of Israel, says the woman was spotted striding toward the soldiers who, aware of her approach, instructed her to stop while raising their weapons in her direction, as protocol requires. She complied with the request, and then “threw away a knife that she had in her possession”. She is now under arrest and helping the Shin Bet with their enquiries.

A photo [above] showing the would-be knifer in the presence of Israeli security personnel, and published by the Fatah-controlled Ma'an News Agency, gives the impression she is very young.

“Why is Israel singled out for super-scrutiny and double-standard criticism, expected to maintain a level of moral behavior not demanded of anyone else?”

“We need a new term to describe this phenomenon, this double-standard, this super-scrutiny of things Jewish, this singling out of Israel.”

Harvard Law Professor Alan M. Dershowitz said:

“There is yet a third strain of the current virus of anti-Semitism, this one even more difficult to diagnose. Its danger lies in its subtlety, its pervasiveness, and its acceptability at all levels of our society. This is a phenomenon familiar to all of us, yet difficult to articulate and expose: the singling out of Jewish institutions and especially Israel for special scrutiny, and the application of a double-standard to Jewish things and persons.

This phenomenon, which currently has no accepted name, assumes a variety of forms, but its most obvious manifestation is the special and often gloating attention paid by the media, [and] by intellectuals, and by the government to any deviation by Israel, no matter how trivial, from the highest norms of humans rights, civility, and sacrifice.

Though Israel may be deserving of criticism, what is missing is the comparable criticism of equal or greater violations by other countries and other groups. This constant, often legitimate criticism of Israel for every one of it deviations, when coupled with the absence of legitimate criticism of others, creates the impression currently prevalent on university campuses and in the press that Israel is among the worst rights violators in the world.
We have all heard that phrase repeated many times. It is not true, but if it is repeated often enough, it takes on a reality of its own.”
