When paranoia rules, everything seems so kosher!

Hatred and paranoia are like cancer and take one to the point of no return. The Israelis are now sick with these ailments. They are killing Palestinians just on mere suspicion that they could attack them. All the civilized norms are abandoned in this new resurgence of hatred and paranoia. Even their own Jewish population is insecure in the hand of trigger happy security forces.


Consider, e.g., the latest case involving two IDF soldiers who shot and killed a man they thought to be a terrorist in Jerusalem Wednesday night, after the man attacked them and tried to grab one of the weapons they were carrying.

According to police, the incident began when two soldiers boarding a bus near the entrance to the capital were asked for identification by an unknown man. When the soldiers, in response, asked the man to identify himself and submit to a search, he began physically assaulting them and tried to seize one of the firearms they were carrying, according to a police account.

The soldiers opened fire on the man, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

The man did not have a knife on him, as previously reported. A search on his body revealed an Israeli ID card, and reports indicated he was Jewish. But police said they were still working to identify him.

The incident occurred on Yirmiyahu street, in the city’s Romema neighborhood, and came after another day of attacks against Israelis.
