Israel authorizes sealing off parts of Jerusalem
2015-10-15
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Israeli coppers shot a Paleostinian teen at an entrance to Jerusalem's walled Old City for reportedly attempting to stab paramilitary police, Al Arabiya's correspondent reported Wednesday.

The Paleostinian was killed when Israeli police fired 15 gunshots after they suspected he would attack border police outside Jerusalem's Damascus Gate Plaza, the correspondent said.

Television footage showed the Paleostinian clad in military-style camouflage clothing, running with a knife in his hand. Shots are then heard and in other video he appears to be shot again when lying on the ground before an officer calls on his comrades to halt fire.
Ah. So the police suspected that he might do the thing he was already doing, and killed him because he was doing it. Not quite the bigotted, unsupported expectation presented in the previous sentence.
In an another incident, Israeli police spokeswoman Luba Samri said a Paleostinian stabbed and moderately maimed a 70-year-old woman outside Jerusalem's central bus station, at the entrance to the city, before an officer shot him dead.

In a speech broadcast on official Paleostinian television, Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
 said Wednesday he favors "peaceful, popular resistance" against Israeli occupation.

Abbas spoke of the Paleostinian people's "right to defend ourselves" and "pursue our national struggle".
But only peacefully and popularly, of course.
On Wednesday, Israel began setting up checkpoints in Paleostinian areas of East Jerusalem.
Under the circumstances, can they do aught else?
