Quote of the day:

"[Prime Minister Binyamin] Netanyahu sees the approaching disaster, but doesn’t have the courage to do anything. Lacking leadership, it is our right and duty as citizens to determine our fate. Only a decision as part of a referendum will give a true expression to the desire of the majority and will enable the continued building of the Zionist enterprise without violence between us.” 
--Former Shin Bet chief and minister, Ami Ayalon ahead of the launching today of a left-wing initiative for a national referendum on the future of the occupied territories.**

Quote of the day:

“Routine. There is no contradiction between “nobody was hurt” and ‘the terrorist was killed.’ Only Jews can be hurt. An update followed: ‘The Kfir squad commander, who saw the terrorist throw a firebomb at an IDF pillbox in Silwad, shot and killed him. Nobody was hurt.’ Now the shooting had turned into ‘a firebomb.’ A short time later, it was reported: ‘Apparently, he was mentally unstable. A search on his body resulted with no findings.’ In other words, murder.
--Haaretz’s Gideon Levy writes how Israeli media accepts IDF reports as fact and how Israelis view the killing of a Palestinian within the conflict.

Breaking News:
Conflicting reports about killing of unarmed Palestinian by soldiers near Ramallah
The IDF said Eyad Zakaria Hamed, 38, was running towards an IDF guard post so they shot him dead. However, Maan noted that the initial reports from Hebrew media said the suspect had opened fire from inside a vehicle, and that a woman might have been inside the car with him. Witnesses told Maan that Hamed was shot and critically injured while inside his vehicle. The IDF said no weapons were found on him and that none of the soldiers were injured. (Ynet and Maan)
