| 'Car Intifada' Cartoon Campaign Encourages Vehicular Attacks | |

| [Ynet] Paleostinians distribute cartoons likening cars to Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, rockets on social networks in wake of wave of vehicular terror attacks. After two vehicular terror attacks occurred on Wednesday, wounding 16 people and killing one, Paleostinians have termed their latest resistance efforts a "car intifada" and are posting cartoons online likening vehicles to rockets launched by Hamas during Operation Protective Edge. Following the wave of attacks in which drivers ploughed their cars into groups of people, which started two weeks ago with the attack that took place at the Ammunition Hill light-rail stop, killing 3-month-old Haya Ziesl Baron and Ecuadorian Karen Mosquera (22) â Paleostinians came to understand that vehicles could potentially be used as lethal weapons. Hamas, whose officials praised on Wednesday the terror attack in Jerusalem, is fueling the fire and is attempting ‐ through vehicular attacks ‐ to initiate an intifada. During the past day, many cartoons were distributed on social networks following the terror attacks. In one of them, which garnered significant popularity, the word "daes" appears ('run over' in Arabic), alluding to the jihadist organization Daesh, which is the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... Another cartoon shows the vehicle used for the terror attack yesterday, entitling it a M-75 on four wheels, hinting that such methods of attack are an alternative to Hamas' weapons (the M-75 missiles). Next to the cartoon, the words "Soon, there will be a R160 bus" appear, hinting at Hamas' longest-range rocket, which reached the outskirts of Haifa in the latest round of fighting.
...back at the comedy club, Boogie ducked another tomato... two people who were maimed in the terror attack in Jerusalem on Wednesday are still hospitalized at the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem's Ein Kerem. One is critical condition and the other is listed in moderate condition. Three people maimed in the Gush Etzion terror attack are also being treated at the hospital, with one at death's door, one in moderate-to-serious condition and the other in light condition. Three other people maimed in the run over attack in Jerusalem are hospitalized at the Shaarei Tzedek Medical Center in the city, including two at death's door and the other in moderate condition. On Wednesday, Police forces tossed in the slammer Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! sixteen people suspected of disrupting public order in Jerusalem. Since Oct. 22, 188 suspects were arrested on charges of disrupting public order, including 71 people under the age of 18. | |

| #2 I wonder if we'll see "turnabout" though? It's not like a certain group mass on fridays. |

| #1 I suspect we are going to see a lot of this, both abroad and at home. It's cheap, easy, can be done on the spur of the moment, and it's rather impersonal - unlike stabbing someone or blowing yourself up. Somebody cue the "lone wolf" meme... |
