    In Washington, U.S. State Department spokesman John Kirby referred to the Palestinian attacks on Israelis as “acts of terror.”

    His comments came after a day where unrest that erupted several weeks ago at Jerusalem’s most sensitive holy site spread to the Gaza border in clashes that killed six Palestinians.

    Meanwhile, Israeli security forces struggled to contain a wave of Palestinian stabbing attacks against civilians and soldiers in Israel and the West Bank that intensified this week.

    An Israeli stabbed four Arabs, injuring them in an apparent revenge attack Friday morning. Kirby said he had no details on that when asked.

    Don’t think you’re safer in America. Arab terror usually starts in Israel and continues in the US. At the moment the US is a bit safer but – mark my words – not for too long. Give it another few days or perhaps weeks and such stabbings will be all over the US and Europe. Then the US and Europe will finally understand what Israel is going through. Will they also then have the nerve to say “both sides should stop the violence”?
