At Jerusalem’s main northern security checkpoint, Qalandiya, police today (Saturday) intercepted a would-be stabbing attacker and restrained her without the need to shoot.
As Times of Israel reports:
The suspect — a 14-year-old Palestinian girl — was arrested by officers while carrying a knife in her hand after failing to obey their calls to halt, according to police. According to Hebrew media reports, officers used pepper spray in order to stop the girl. Officials added that the suspect was taken in for questioning after her arrest. No shots were reported fired in the incident.
Israel National News adds:
She was walking in a passage designated for vehicles only. When they noticed she was holding a knife, they carried out the procedure for stopping a suspect and overpowered her. There were no casualties reported, and a knife was indeed found in her possession.
The calmness of the response of the security personnel stationed at Qalandiya offers a stark contrast with the violent events at the same spot on Thursday evening involving scores of Arab rioters.
Parts of the Arab media, deeply invested in turning their communities’ adolescents into killers to advance their version of terrorist warfare, are busy spinning Saturday afternoon’s events tonight. Here’s the Ma’an News Agency headline in their English-language edition:
Israeli forces detain 14-year-old Palestinian girl at Qalandiya checkpoint
Their report goes on to quote the spokesperson for Israel Police (who happens to be an Israeli Arab woman) about the knife and the attempted attack. But click on the Arabic version of the same story from the same despicable news source [here] and that report of the child’s arrest makes no mention at all of the knife, the attempted stabbing or the restraint shown by the Israeli security personnel who came under attack.
A notorious non-Arab propagandist for the Palestinian Arab campaign tweeted this sadly characteristic message a few hours ago:
PA president-for-life Mahmoud Abbas, speaking in the White House on May 3, 2017, addressed this without even once smirking:
Mr. President, I affirm to you that we are raising our youth, our children, our grandchildren on a culture of peace. And we are endeavoring to bring about security, freedom and peace for our children to live like the other children in the world, along with the Israeli children in peace, freedom and security. [From the White House Press Office transcript]
The reality is that the weaponizing of Palestinian Arab children – and the devastation this has brought to families in every part of their society – continues in full force alongside brazen Palestinian Arab efforts to claim precisely the opposite.
