| Riots Continue In Jerusalem, Leaving Train Damaged |
| 2014-09-14 |
[IsraelTimes] Riots continued Saturday in Jerusalem's Arab neighborhoods after several protesters were incarceratedDrop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! during festivities with police the day before. Light rail trains were attacked with stones in three separate incidents. One attack left two windows broken on a train. No injuries were reported. On Friday, six Paleostinians were arrested following festivities with police in two different locations in East Jerusalem. Three were arrested after they hurled stones and firecrackers at police forces near the Temple Mount in Jerusalem's Old City. Following Friday prayers at the al-Aqsa mosque, several masked men began charging at a border police post near the entrance to the Temple Mount. The rioters were blocked by Waqf forces, and the three demonstrators were subsequently arrested. They were transferred to a nearby cop shoppe for questioning. Later, police apprehended three protesters for similar offenses in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan. Also on Friday, Likud MK Miri Regev urged police to take a tougher stance against rock-throwing in the capital. "The security situation in Jerusalem is a disgrace," Regev wrote in a Facebook post, following a tour of East Jerusalem's neighborhoods. "In recent months, there has been a significant increase in incidents of the throwing of stones and Molotov cocktails at the cars and homes of Jews." "This situation in Jerusalem must change, the public security minister should allocate more security forces in East Jerusalem," she said, adding that she would work to pass legislation aimed at increasing jail time for stone throwers. Earlier this week, Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch said Jerusalem's security forces were to get reinforcements to combat a continued rise in violence. Aharonovitch did not provide details about the type of reinforcements the city would receive in the wake of violent riots in the capital, following the death last Sunday of an East Jerusalem teen shot by police during a demonstration last week. |

| #7 And in fact, Mr. Munster, the Times of Israel today reports that the Israeli government just decided to approve 5,000 more work permits for West Bank construction workers, and will even pay for their transportation, taking the total up to 37,500 permits. This echoes the reason so many Arabs were willing to flee to the surrounding nations in 1948: most had arrived only in recent years to take the new jobs the Jewish economy was generating, and it was easy enough for them to go back home for what was to be a brief and bloody Arab conquest. Muslims in America tend to be hard working as well, as are most immigrants. The situation in Britain and Europe is quite different, but Britain and Europe imported them for a very different reason, and are now reaping what they sowed. |

| #4 Paleostinians don't need trains anyway, it's not like muslims go to work, or do anything constructive like that. In Israel the Palestinians work, Mr. Munster. The complaint from the Territories, despite all that international funding, is that they can't get more permits to work in Israel... so they sneak over to work illegally. In fact, the complaint throughout the Arab world is that there aren't enough jobs, not that the dole payments aren't high enough. |
