Afula stabbing attack: a link in the chain

Another day in Israel:

An IDF soldier was killed Wednesday after being stabbed in the neck in a bus in Afula. He was rushed to a hospital in the city but later died of his wounds. Security guards stopped the assailant, Hussein Jawadra, a 16-year-old Palestinian from Jenin who is residing in Israel illegally, and turned him over to security forces. The stabber's two brothers are both held in Israel.
And then - army radio interviews Michaella, a young woman who was a passenger on that bus and witnessed the murder.

Michaella is obviously still in shock and doesn't want to talk about the act of murder she has seen, she just can't. The interviewer, a regular army radio journalist, insists in understanding why Michaella can't talk about what she has seen.

"I just can't. I have lost a brother in another terrorist attack in 2002, in Beit Shean."

And that's it.

I too have a working channel with my ancestors. I talk and they listen very well.


All channels are open and ready for business. No waiting.

OK, the list of names is on its way to you. Oops, but what is your hourly charge will be?

Well, "another day" in the vicinity of Jenin, where the murderous goat lovers hang out. The ancient city at Beit She'an was very peaceful when we were there.

Face-to-face meetings, eh? Sounds like you already have a bridge of your own.

But first let President Wormtongue visit the feller, hear his grievances against the Big Satan and make a deep bow along with a heartfelt apology and, then, promise on bended knee to enroll him in ObamaCare, as soon as the little computer glitch is fixed.

Yep. The fourth victim of peace negotiations this month.

Er... I meant over there, upon arrival ;-)

Heh heh.

I don't need to talk to my dead relatives; if their lives are any guide to their afterlives, they'd only ask me for money and never pay it back.

Everyone who is able to charge that kind of money for an hour is well-done, in my humble.
