Israel is considering the possibility of transferring land from Area C, which is under complete Israeli control in accordance with the Oslo Accords, to the Palestinian Authority, Channel 2 News reported on Tuesday. Agriculture Minister Uri Ariel later made clear that if Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu goes through with the plan, he will not have a coalition. According to the report, the Civil Administration is looking into the idea of transferring some 10,000 dunams of land in Area C which are either state-owned land or private Palestinian Arab land that borders Areas A and B. The move is part of a series of “gestures” that Israel is considering making to the Palestinian Authority. This plan, which is being examined under the heading "thickening the Palestinian Authority-controlled areas", has yet to be approved by the Cabinet, but officials in the Civil Administration told Channel 2 it is definitely being examined and formulated. Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon’s office refused to comment on the report. Responding to Tuesday evening’s report, Ariel made clear that approval of such a plan could result in the dismantling of Netanyahu's current coalition. "Again it is being reported that a ‘gesture’ in the form of transferring land to the PA is being considered. Therefore I will be clear, if Netanyahu goes through with this, his current coalition will fall apart," tweeted Ariel. Interestingly enough, news of Israel’s plan came hours after the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee's Subcommittee on Judea and Samaria held a follow-up discussion regarding the response to illegal Arab construction in Area C. Representatives of Regavim, an NGO watchdog group for Jewish national property rights, spoke at the discussion saying, "In the region of Ma'ale Adumim (east of Jerusalem - ed.) alone there are around 1,000 illegal structures, and the trend is only building strength." MK Moti Yogev (Jewish Home), who heads the committee, said during the discussion that in practice those in enforcement are doing nothing on the subject, both in terms of the operational and the legal aspects of the matter. "The enforcement on the ground is not being managed equally between Arabs and Jews. In general the construction is directed by the Palestinian Authority mainly on strategic land - E1," he said, noting a highly important stretch linking Jerusalem and Ma'ale Adumim. He added that the illegal construction is "funded by the European Union in breach of the Oslo Accords."
Arab father from northern Israel turns to police after receiving chilling SMS from his son. Transcript reveals frantic conversation.
An Arab-Israeli from northern Israel was arrested Tuesday after sending an SMS to his father informing him he was going to carry out a terrorist attack - prompting his father to turn to police.
The father, who lives in a village close to Nazareth in the Galilee, alerted the police emergency hotline as soon as he received the message, which read: "Today you will hear good things about me - I'm going to carry out an attack."
Other family members received the same message, according to Israel's Channel 2, which released a transcript of the father's frantic conversations with the police call center, during which he repeatedly urged them to send a patrol car to his home.
Father: Can I order a patrol car to my house?
Operator: Why, what happened?
Father: There is an important issue
Operator: What kind of important issue?
Father: An important issue. My son has been away from home for nearly 10 days and he is threatening people and (threatening) the security of the state
Operator: Your son is threatening state security?! Does your son want to do something?!
Father: Yes, yes. He has someone else from our village
Operator: You don't know where he is?
Father: If I knew, I'd conduct an operation against him myself
In a second conversation the increasingly agitated father asks how long it will take for police to arrive.
Father: I don't feel good. Send me a patrol car. Just in how many minutes? Tell me how many minutes!
Operator: I don't know how many minutes (it will take). I have sent a patrol car to you
Nazareth District Commander, Chief Superintendent Shai Dichter, said police acted as soon as possible to locate and arrest the suspect, and opened an investigation immediately after receiving the father's report.
"We carried out many activities to locate the youth, including the arrest of five suspects including him. After interrogation an indictment was served against the suspect."
It is not the first time a would-be terrorist has been handed over to police by concerned family members after being radicalized.
Last month, a 19-year-old Arab woman, also from northern Israel, was placed in administrative detention, after police determined she posed a real risk to the public following messages she sent to her family expressing her desire to become a "martyr."
Israeli authorities have blamed the Northern Branch of the Islamic Movement - which is based in the Galilee - for inciting much of the violence. Last week, after much posturing, the Hamas-linked Muslim extremist group was finally banned
This week began as the last one ended — with more Palestinian stabbing attacks against Israeli Jews, and more dead. And yet, this information might surprise readers of The New York "Slimes."
On Sunday, a 20-year-old Israeli woman was stabbed to death, another Israeli was rammed by a car and attacked with a knife and a third was assaulted by a knife-wielding teen affiliated with the Islamic Jihad terror group.
All three assailants were killed in the course of their attacks.
But the headline to the Times’ story about Sunday’s attacks did away with cause and effect, muddled victim and aggressor: “1 Israeli, 3 Palestinians Killed in Attacks in West Bank.” The online headline was later changed, but the print headline Monday morning was equally obtuse: “West Bank Faces Spate of Assaults That Kill 4.” The “West Bank” faced nothing. It was Israelis who faced assaults.
This was par for the course — and in some ways, even mild — for how the Times has covered the so-called “stabbing intifada,” the recent spate of Arab-on-Jewish murder.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas recently called on his people to protect Jerusalem holy sites from the “filthy feet” of Israeli Jews, and terrorists have heeded the call, taking to the streets to thrust knives into any Israeli they encounter — other recent stabbing victims include an 80-year-old woman and a 13-year-old boy on a bike.
But even this incitement, and even this terror, is no match for the creativity of The New York "Slimes." When a Palestinian assailant was caught on film last month wielding a knife and rushing at Israelis, before quickly being neutralized by Israeli security personnel, Times reporters simply avoided telling readers about the video.
And instead of mentioning this incriminating piece of evidence, they repeatedly cited false Palestinian allegations that Israelis planted the knife next to the “innocent” attacker. Creatively, and unethically, they turned an empirical fact into an unknowable case of police vs. “witness.”
When Israel released a photo of the butterfly knife held by the attacker, the Times’ bureau chief in Jerusalem absurdly called it a “Boy Scout” knife. Again, it was a masterstroke of creativity. Butterfly knives are infamous for being flipped back and forth by ’80s movie villains, and are illegal in several US states and in countries around the world. To confuse a butterfly knife with a Boy Scout knife is to confuse nunchucks with a nun’s ruler.
Similarly, after Palestinians stoned a Jewish car, resulting in the death of the driver, a reporter insisted they weren’t attacking the Israeli but merely pelting “the road he was driving on.” The death, reporters insisted, was an “accident.” Attacking the asphalt? A Boy Scout knife? Such verbal ingenuity might be commendable in creative writing. In journalism, it’s an embarrassment.
And so was the newspaper’s recent suggestion that there might never have been a temple on Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, despite unanimity among serious scholars to the contrary. The timing of this attack on Jewish history was no coincidence. Palestinians have explained that the wave of violence is fueled by rumors that Israel plans to change the status quo on the Mount, and by continued Jewish visits to the site.
Instead of explaining the historical connection between the Jewish people and their holiest site, the newspaper chose to rewrite history to better fit with a Palestinian narrative that Jews are foreign to the Temple Mount. (This article and the one about the Boy Scout knife were eventually corrected.)
The newspaper has long been criticized for its obsessive scrutiny of Israeli flaws, real and imagined, coupled with soft-glove treatment of Palestinians. Even its own public editor has urged reporters to strengthen coverage of Palestinians because, she incredibly had to remind colleagues, “They are more than just victims.” Clearly, the message hasn’t been heeded.
This journalism-gone-wild isn’t good for Israel, of course. But it’s also bad for the newspaper’s readers, who want an honest account of what’s happening across the world. It’s bad for students, who risk harassment and ostracism on campus if they come out in support for the Jewish state. And if our democracy, and by extension our foreign policy, depends on a well-informed electorate, it’s bad for us all.

Brooklyn relatives on Monday mourn Sara Mayer, who killed herself months after her sister's suicide.Photo: Paul Martinka

Family time: Sarah Mayer (fourth from left) killed herself at her parent's home in Brooklyn. She was 30. She is pictured here at the same wedding with her sisters Faigy (third from left) and Este (second from left)
The Hasidic woman who committed suicide four months after her sister also killed herself suffered years of depression following her forced marriage to a first cousin, a family insider told The Post on Monday.
Sara Mayer, 31, of Borough Park, who hanged herself Sunday, had a nervous breakdown on the eve of her arranged wedding about five years ago — and had already endured years of physical and mental abuse by relatives, according to the source.
“[Her suicide] was a family mental-health and abuse issue on top of being forced into marriage with her first cousin,” the source said, recalling how the union was annulled just months later.
“Ever since [her marriage], she has been in and out of mental hospitals,” the source explained. “She had been coerced by her mother’s side of the family’’ to marry her cousin. “She married the son of the mother’s sister.”
Some members of the Brooklyn family apparently didn’t find out about Sara’s torment until just recently.
The source added that Sara and her younger sister Faigy — who jumped to her death from a Manhattan rooftop bar in July — had been seeking advice from a family member for their depression, even though the relative wasn’t a licensed therapist.Growing up, some relatives “kept calling her retarded, ugly, etc. We didn’t know this until later,” the source said.
“In Williamsburg, it was so bad that the rabbis got together and they put a poster up warning the community about her and the lack of her credentials,” the source said. “But despite the rabbis’ warning, people are still seeing her for family therapy.”
“To have lost two girls in less than a year shows that something is up with this family. It’s very sad.”

Sara, who was said to be still very observant of her Jewish faith, was remembered by loved ones Monday during her funeral at Shomrei Hadas Chapels in Borough Park.
Grief-stricken dad Israel Mayer described the difficulty of losing two daughters to depression as he eulogized Sara in Yiddish.

“I’m asking forgiveness from you if I didn’t do enough for you,” he added, addressing Sara. “I saw you suffering, and I tried my best.”
The dad went on to describe how he had tried to help both Sara and Faigy with their depression by hospitalizing them.
“We put her in this hospital, we put her in that hospital, until her soul left her,” he said of Sara, who had just been released last week from the South Beach Psychiatric Center in Staten Island, where she had been an inpatient for two years.
Birthright Israel, the charity founded in 1999 to bring young Jews on trips to Israel, has witnessed an unprecedented increase in participation among French citizens over the past two years.
The Observer has learned that 2500 French Jews will have visited Israel as part of the program this year—more than double the 1100 who went last year and a stunning 2400% increase over the 98 who visited as program participants in 2013.
The gains come amid a string of high-profile attacks by radical Islamists in France, many targeting Jewish institutions. In March 2012, three linked shootings in Toulouse and Montauban targeted French military personnel as well as four people at the Ozar Hatorah Jewish day school, where a self-identified mujaheed who claimed ties to al-Qaeda killed a rabbi who shielded his two sons from attack and then shot one of the boys as he crawled away, and then shot an 8-year-old girl at point blank range while he held her by her braids. Early this year, the office of the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo was attacked as 11 people were killed by gunmen identifying themselves as Al-Qaeda while their accomplice, who identified with ISIS, took hostages in a kosher market and killed four of them before being killed himself.
Jeunes juifs de France partent en masse pour Israel.
Even last week’s horrific coordinated ISIS attacks had a Jewish angle, with the bulk of casualties coming at the Bataclan theater, which had long been owned by Jewish brothers Marcel and Joel Laloux and had hosted fundraisers for Friends of IDF and other Jewish causes.
According to Birthright Israel, France has until now been underrepresented in these free 10-day educational trips aimed at Jews between the ages of 18 and 26. trips. A statement the group plans to release tomorrow claims that, “Despite having the third-highest population of Jews in the world (behind Israel and the U.S.), only a small percentage of Birthright Israel participants have historically come from France. Following the attacks on Jewish targets at the beginning of this year, Birthright Israel increased outreach in France to encourage participation in the program.”
Birthright Israel International CEO Gidi Mark echoed that thought. “During a time when many of Jews in France endure violent acts on the account of their Judaism, it is a basic act of solidarity for Birthright Israel to focus its efforts on this community.”
Mr. Mark is running a program that’s universally admired in the Jewish community, perhaps as much (at least among nervous Jewish parents) for its reputation of Jews hooking up with other Jews as for the love of homeland it instills in its participants. The program was started more than 15 years ago by philanthropy titans Charles Bronfman and Michael Steinhardt and is said to take over 30,000 young people a year to Israel – more than half a million to date from 66 countries. Sheldon and Miriam Adelson have donated some $250 million over the last decade.
Mr. Mark said, “In 2014 we made a strategic decision to dramatically increase our engagement with the Jewish community in France and the results have exceeded all of our initial expectations. The reaction of the younger generation of the community in France is overwhelming and moving in the way they cherish the gift of Birthright Israel.”
US Secretary of State John Kerry's visit to Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA) this week will only heighten tensions - not calm terrorism, former Israeli ambassador to the US Dr. Yoram Ettinger opined Tuesday. "This visit unfortunately will not not mitigate terrorism, but on the contrary, pour oil on the fire of terrorism," he stated, in a special Arutz Sheva interview. "Why reward and meet Mahmoud Abbas, the chief instigator?" Washington continues to remain disconnected from reality, he said. "The former senator met with Assad, both the father and the son, and ate dinner with their wives," he noted. "The senator refers to the Golan Heights as 'trivial' and pressured Israel to give up the Golan. He used to hold [PLO archterrorist Yasser] Arafat in high regard and referred to him as a 'statesman of peace'; as Secretary of State he still maintains that the Arab Spring is leading Arab countries to democracy." Ettinger added that Kerry's career is characterized by 'erroneous assessments," - "so surely, again, he will call on Israel to make gestures [toward the Palestinians] and give over the immoral equivalence comparing terrorist to victim." "Experience shows that all the attempts and plans the US have made [regarding Israel] have failed one by one, due to lack of understanding of the complexity of the Middle East," He concluded. "Both the peace treaty with Egypt and Jordan were the result of Israeli initiatives and direct negotiations - not indirect negotiations and not through middlemen."

Jerusalem - Once again, Jews worldwide are mourning the loss of a life cut all too short, as 21 year old Hadar Buchris was buried this afternoon at Har Hamenuchos in Jerusalem.
Hundreds turned out to say goodbye to Buchris who was killed yesterday in stabbing attack in Gush Etzion.
Buchris’ family traveled from Netanya for the funeral and her mother, Segal, told Yediot Aharanot that she had been concerned about her daughter’s choice to live in Gush Etzion, in order to study in a women’s college.
“We know the Gush well,” said Mrs. Buchris. “She was born there in Beitar Ilit and we lived there for years. Her whole childhood was spent in Beitar Ilit and she was tied to the place.”
Hadar Buchris returned from a vacation to India just two weeks ago.
“When she was in India I didn’t worry about her at all,” said Mrs. Buchris. “When she came back is when I first started worrying.”
Many could be seen at the funeral leaning on each other for support as they surrounded the body, draped by a dark velvet cloth adorned with a gold Magen Dovid, wondering how a 21 year old who was known for her oversized heart could have been brutally murdered in cold blood.
Hadar Buchris leaves behind her parents, Aryeh and Segal and four siblings, as reported by Israeli news sites Walla and Maariv.
Aryeh Buchris described his daughter as wise and sensitive to the needs of others.
“You had a big heart and everything was open for you, how much you wanted to please others,” said Aryeh Buchris. “Your tragic departure has left us in pain. We are stunned and aching. We can barely carry this. You are the type of girl who was larger than life. The ache is immense, enormous, but we will stay strong and keep the family together, now more than ever. I promise you that. We won’t stop missing you or thinking about you.”
Hadar Buchris’ grandmother, Sara Dror eulogized her granddaughter, saying that her three daughters had given her 13 grandchildren.
“Our Hadari, you grew up early and you left your parents house at age 14 to study in ulpan. Today we are standing by your grave and we can’t believe we are burying a granddaughter at such a young age.”

Mrs. Dror noted that the family had expressed concern about Hadar’s decision to live in Gush Etzion.
“We told you it was dangerous there, but you reminded us that everything is in Hashem’s hands.”
In her remarks, sister Noa Buchris spoke about her feelings one day after her sister was savagely murdered.
“Hadar, you are with us, but you will not be with us ever again,” lamented Noa Buchris. “We are not separated because you will continue to live on inside of me. Only recently have I begun to understand how privileged I am to be a part of the Jewish nation, which is alive and will live on forever.”
Noa Buchris also read remarks written by her brother Hillel.
“Just one day before I had spoken about the five korbanos who were taken from us on Thursday. I never dreamed that we would be standing here, burying you. I love so, so much.”

Sister Maayan Buchris said that even after her death, Hadar continued to inspire and she recalled how the two embraced and took care of each other just one week earlier when they spent Shabbos together.
“Your light influences us even now,” said Maayan Buchris. “It doesn’t stop, it just comes from a greater place, on high. I don’t know what I will do now. Who I will call when things are difficult? I am coming to terms with the idea that you are not alive and it is hard for me that you are no longer here with me. I wanted to get married and to bring my children to visit you but it seems that you were destined for greater things.”
Buchri’s older brother Zohar noted that his sister’s death was incomprehensible.
“We can’t accept that a cold blooded killer took you,” said Zohar Buchris. “We miss you already and we will always remember you. We can only hope that you will be the last korban in this cruel world ... Go rest my beautiful sister. We already miss you. You know how much I loved you and we will always remember you. Go rest beautiful girl.”
Among the mourners were Israel’s chief rabbi, Rabbi Dovid Lau and several elected officials, including Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Jerusalem mayor Nir Barakat, all of whom expressed their condolences to the Buchris family. Elan Shochet, mayor of Tzefas, spoke about Hadar Buchris’ love of Eretz Yisroel, a concept reiterated by Knesset member and Minister of Religious Services, David Azoulai.
“Hadar you traveled on roads that were long and dangerous but your last journey is being made in the land that you love,” said Azoulai. “You are in an elevated place now and nothing can prevent someone who dies al kiddush Hashem from the highest rewards. All of the heavenly court is coming out to greet you.”

The 20-year old Israeli killed in a stabbing attack at a gas station on Route 443, north of Jerusalem, on Monday, was an IDF soldier, the army announced. The soldier was identified as 18-year-old Private Ziv Mizrachi from Givat Ze’ev. Ze’ev was a driver in a unit that operates surveillance balloons.
MDA paramedics also treated a woman in her twenties, a soldier as well, who suffered light injuries.
The suspected terrorist was shot and killed.
The IDF sent reinforcements to Route 443 following the attack. Soldiers were also searching for additional people who may have been wounded by the attacker.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, scheduled to meet on Tuesday with Israeli and Palestinian leaders at loggerheads since their peace negotiations under his auspices stalled in April 2014, sounded circumspect about his latest mission.
“This is an effort to see if we can get some concrete steps in place – begin to build them, maybe – that could calm things down a little bit so people aren’t living in absolute, daily terror that they might be stabbed or driven into or shot trying to walk around their city,” he said during a visit to Abu Dhabi.
“It happens almost every day over there and it’s terrible, and too many Israelis have been killed and stabbed, and too many Palestinians,” Kerry told reporters. “And there’s no excuse for any of the violence.”
