a a bus sop in Jerusalem. He hen emerged rom he wreckage

brandishing a mea cleaver and sared hacking a pedesrians.

“We remain deeply concerned abou escalaing ensions and

urge all sides o ake affirmaive seps o resore calm and preven

acions ha would urher escalae ensions,” a press saemen

rom he deparmen’s websie said. In oher words, he Palesin-

ians mus one down he violence, and so mus he Jews—he vic-

ims!

Associaed Press’s Mat Lee quizzed Sae Deparmen spokes-

man Mark Toner abou wha he deparmen means by calling

on boh he Palesinians and he Israelis o deescalae he crisisin Israel. “Does he [Obama] adminisraion believe ha Israel is

inciing or no condemning violence?” he asked.

Toner responded saying, “[W]ha we’ve been very clear abou

saying is ha we wan o see boh sides ake affirmaive seps,

affirmaive acions ha reduce ensions in he region.” He hen

menioned he horrific atacks agains Israelis bu added, “[W]

e’ve seen also atacks on Palesinians, [invesigaions or which]

remain ongoing.”

The atacks Toner reerenced occurred “hree or our weeks

ago.” They supposedly legiimized a Palesinian “Day o Rage”—a

day o killing Jews. Ye despie he acs on he ground, he Unied

Saes kicked off anoher round o is moral equivalence game,

wih pleny o blame o pass around.Mat Lee hen asked wha i was he Unied Saes expeced

rom he Israelis o reduce he violence in Israel. Mark Toner said

he Israelis should “[uphold] he saus quo in Haram al-Shari

and [he] Temple Moun.” The problem wih ha saemen is

ha i’s based on he lie ha Arab propagandiss have requenly

repeaed: “Diry” Jews are secrely ploting o blow up mosques

and desecrae Muslim holy sies.

Chie among hose Arab propagandiss is Palesinian Auhoriy

Presiden Mahmoud Abbas himsel. In a Sepember 16 speech on

Palesinian , Abbas said, “[W]e bless every drop o blood spilled

or Jerusalem. Wih he help o Allah, every shaheed [maryr] will

be in heaven. … Al-Aqsa is ours and so is he Church o he Holy

Sepulcher. [Jews] have no righ o desecrae hem wih heir filhyee. We will no allow hem o, and we will do everyhing in our

power o proec Jerusalem.”

Israel has consisenly upheld a decades-old policy o proec-

ing and preserving all holy sies in Israel—wheher hey’re Jew-

ish, Chrisian or Muslim. Conrary o insinuaions by he Sae

Deparmen (no o menion Palesinian erroriss), Israel has

upheld ha saus quo since 1967, when i ook conrol o Eas

Jerusalem and he Temple Moun.

Sae Deparmen head John Kerry similarly atribued he

violence in Jerusalem o Israeli policies. A a orum on Tuesday

a Harvard, Secreary Kerry said, “[U]nless we ge going, a wo-

sae soluion could conceivably be solen rom everybody.” He

added ha “here’s been a massive increase in setlemens over

he course o he las years. Now you have his violence because

here’s a rusraion ha is growing ….”

Kerry would have you believe ha Palesinians are declaring a

“Day o Rage” and sabbing Jews because hey are jus rusraed;

hey merely wan a wo-sae soluion and o make peace wih

Israel.

Bu error does no come because o rusraion over he peace

process, as Israeli Prime Minser Benjamin Neanyahu said his

week. “Terror comes rom he desire o annihilae us.”

The Palesinians hemselves have called his uprising he

“hiba al-Quds”—or he “Jerusalem awakening.” The error is

coming as a response o a alse conspiracy abou a Jewish ake-

over o Muslim holy sies. A is core, i’s a religious war!

Commentary’ s Jonahan Tobin wroe, “While he narraive

abou his laes oubreak o violence rom criics o Israel is ha

i is all abou he sins o he “occupaion” and Israel denying hope

o he Palesinians, wha we are hearing rom hem is a very di-eren sory. Read any o he accouns o he moivaions o he

people going ino he srees o sab random Jews hey encouner

or he mobs in he Wes Bank who are seeking o se off conron-

aions wih Israeli roops, and you don’ hear much abou rus-

raion abou he peace process. … Wha you do see are accouns

o Muslim religious ervor ha is drenched in he ever o maryr-

dom and aih-based hae.”

Jewish Response

In a Times o Israel aricle on Wednesday iled “I I Forge Thee

Eas Jerusalem, Le My Wriing Hand Wiher,” Joshua Davidovich

noed ha news coverage in Israel has now shifed is primary

ocus rom he erroris atacks hemselves o he governmen’sresponse, “which includes an army deploymen o Jerusalem—

nearly unheard o in he annals o he sae—and a similarly dras-

ic move o seting up checkpoins in Eas Jerusalem neighbor-

hoods and possibly closing hem off alogeher.”

Yedioth Ahronoth’ s headline said, “Jerusalem: Soldiers o

Guard Buses.” Israel Hayom said, “Army o ener ciies.” Haaretz’s

main headline said he Israeli “Cabine Is Considering Cuting Off

Eas Jerusalem.”

These are he early sages o he division o Jerusalem—he

once unied capial o Israel.

Anoher Israel Hayom aricle said, “As errorism

mouns, Israelis ake securiy ino heir own hands.” I noed a

sharp increase in Israeli civilians purchasing pepper sprays, sunguns and clubs o proec hemselves. Jewish ciizens are enroll-

ing in classes where hey can learn o figh like he Israeli miliary.

According o Israel’s Cenral Bureau o Saisics, here is

now a shorage o privae securiy guards because o increased

demand. And hose guards are now officially approved by he

Economy Minisry o work overime.

This is leading o he ulfilmen o a criical prophecy in Zech-

ariah 14:1-2: “Behold, he day o he Lord comeh, and hy spoil

shall be divided in he mids o hee. For I will gaher all naions

agains Jerusalem o batle; and he ciy shall be aken, and he

houses rifled, and he women ravished; and hal o he ciy shall

go orh ino capiviy, and he residue o he people shall no be

cu off rom he ciy.”

We have been preparing you or his prophesied developmen

or years. When here were flare-ups beween Israel and Hezbol-

lah in he norh, and hen beween Gaza and Israel in he souh,

my aher explained ha he Wes Bank would be nex, and hen

finally, Jerusalem.

Palesine: The Psychoic SageBret Stephens, Wall Street Journal | October 12

I I,

have he impression ha “violence” is killing a lo o people. As

in his headline: “Palesinian Killed as Violence Coninues.” Or

his firs paragraph: “Violence and bloodshed radiaing ouward

rom flash poins in Jerusalem and he Wes Bank appear o be

shifing gears and expanding, wih Gaza increasingly drawn in.”

Read urher, and you migh also ge a sense o who, accord-

ing o Wesern media, is perperaing “violence.” As in: “Two

Palesinian Teenagers Sho by Israeli Police,” according o one

headline. Or: “Israeli Realiaory Srike in Gaza Kills Woman and

Child, Palesinians Say,” according o anoher.

Such was he media’s way o describing wo weeks o Pales-

inian assauls ha began when Hamas killed a Jewish couple ashey were driving wih heir our children in he norhern Wes

Bank. Two days laer, a Palesinian eenager sabbed wo Israelis

o deah in Jerusalem’s Old Ciy, and also slashed a woman and

a 2-year-old boy. Hours laer, anoher knie-wielding Palesinian

was sho and killed by Israeli police afer he slashed a 15-year-old

Israeli boy in he ches and back. …

Regarding he causes o his Palesinian blood eish, Wesern

news organizaions have resored o amiliar ropes. Palesinians

have despaired a he resuls o he peace process—never mind

ha Palesinian Presiden Mahmoud Abbas jus declared he

Oslo Accords null and void. Israeli poliicians wan o allow Jews

o pray aop he Temple Moun—never mind ha Benjamin Ne-

anyahu denies i and has barred Israeli poliicians rom visiing

he sie. There’s always he hoary “cycle o violence” ormula ha

holds nobody and everybody accounable a one and he same

ime.

Lef ou o mos o hese sories is some sense o wha Pales-

inian leaders have o say. As in hese nuges rom a speech Mr.

Abbas gave las monh: “Al Aqsa Mosque is ours. They [Jews] have

no righ o defile i wih heir filhy ee.” And: “We bless every

drop o blood spilled or Jerusalem, which is clean and pure

blood, blood spilled or Allah.”

Then here is he goading o he Muslim clergy. … “Today, we

realize why he Jews build walls. They do no do his o sop mis-siles bu o preven he sliting o heir hroas,” [said one Gaza

imam].

Then, brandishing a six-inch knie, he added: “My broher in

he Wes Bank: Sab!”

Imagine i a whie miniser in, say, Souh Carolina preached

his way abou Arican-Americans, knie and all: Would he news

media be supine in reporing i? Would we ge “boh sides” jour-

nalism o he kind ha is pro orma when i comes o Israelis

and Palesinians, wih lenghy pieces explaining—and implicily

jusiying—he miniser’s sundry grievances, his sense ha his

counry has been solen rom him? …

Syria Crisis: Thousands of Iranian Troops Amass for All -out Assault on Aleppo

recen days, as orces loyal o Presiden [Bashar] Assad pre-

pare a major assaul on rebel-held erriory in Aleppo. The Syr-

ian governmen, bolsered by he new arrivals and wo weeks o

inense Russian airsrikes on rebel posiions, is deermined o

win back erriory around he counry’s biges ciy, and once is

commercial hub.

Speaking o he Reuers news agency, unnamed officials said

ha roops rom Iran, along wih Syrian soldiers and fighers

rom he Lebanese milian group Hezbollah, were preparing anatack on he war-ravaged ciy.

“The big batle preparaions in ha area are clear,” said one o

he officials. “There is a large mobilizaion o he Syrian Army …

elie Hezbollah fighers, and housands o Iranians who arrived

in sages in recen days.” Some unconfirmed repors sugesed

ha iniial exchanges wih rebel groups were already under way.

Las week, he Syrian Army launched anoher major offensive

agains rebels in Hama province.

Several Iranian poliicians, led by Alaeddin Boroujerdi, he

head o he Iranian parliamen’s Naional Securiy and Foreign

Policy commission, arrived in Damascus or alks wih Presiden

Assad and his advisers.

Speaking on Iranian sae elevision as he landed in he Syr-

he figh agains errorism. The cooperaion beween Syria, Iraq,

Iran and Russia has been posiive and successul,” he said. …

“During Syria’s ‘Arab Spring,’ ISIS drastically expanded its

power and influence. It did this by supporting Syrian jihadist

rebels and later by sending in its own fighters. But remarkably,

this rise to prominence was also made possible in part by Iran

and Syria—the very forces it was fighting.”

Ironically, while he warns abou he dangers o growing

deb levels caused by cenral bank policies, he Federal Reserve

has decided to discontinue publishing the single-most widely fol-

lowed report on debt levels in America.

Back in March, he Federal Reserve’s Toal Credi Marke

Insrumens repor showed ha oal deb in America had soared

o $59 rillion.

Then suddenly he series sopped. No explanaion was offered

ing he daa. Afer all, i conained he mos comprehensive sum-

Economic crisis is coming. Five housand years o human

hisory offers ample evidence.
