Odd Method of Population Control, Even In Israel

A martyr was nipped in the bud.

Reported:-

A Palestinian caught trying to infiltrate a settlement Wednesday night claims he was sent by his family members, who had hoped he would be killed by soldiers during the infiltration.

Israel Defense Forces soldiers patrolling the central West Bank near the settlement of Beit El on Wednesday spotted a Palestinian...the boy was behaving in a strange manner and the soldiers originally thought that he was drunk. Later on in the investigation, it was clarified that he was actually suffering from a mental illness.

The boy told investigators that his family wanted him dead. He said they threatened him at gunpoint, forcing him to walk towards the settlement with the hope that soldiers would think he was trying to infiltrate and would shoot him.

IDF scouts who searched the area confirmed the boy's version of events and found four family members who had tried to flee the area.

And then they would have claimed, atrocity story style, that we hardhearted and cruel Israelis shoot poor, innocent Arabs for fun. A shaeed, martyr.

Odd Street Scenes and Signs

I just discovered a new street. Or at least a new street sign. As I pass this way almost once a week, if not twice, I know that it is new, the sign that is.

If you come into to Nachlat Shiva from the Betzalel St. side, through the Knesset Yisrael (Munkatch) neighborhood, and enter into Tabor Street, you'll see this sign:

It's HaNetziv, named after Rav Naftali Tzvi Berlin. But there's no traffic since the street is closed to vehicles. See:

Odd that.

Anyway, the next oddity.

This time in Tel Aviv:


What's odd? Well, for that I have to translate the text of the sign:

The Givon Area

Here will be built a unique square under which

Will be erected an underground parking lot.

"Under which will be erected"?

I guess since the British Mandate left, English language sensitivity has significantly decreasede.
