'Palestinians' take Kerry up on intifada warning

Just yesterday, US Secretary of State John FN Kerry warned that there would be a third intifada if Israel does not give in to the 'Palestinians' demands.

This morning, a 'peaceful Palestinian' took him up on it by firebombing an Israeli mother and her three children as they drove near Efrat.

Here's the result (Hat Tip: Lenny Ben David):

The wife suffered moderate burns; the husband was also lightly injured. Both were taken into custody by Magen David Adom medics and transferred to Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center in Jerusalem. The couple was lucky to have escaped the vehicle, which was engulfed completely by flames. IDF staff is conducting sweeps of the region in search of the perpetrators.

The head of the Gush Etzion Regional Board, Davidi Pearl, responded to the terror attack by stating "it is a miracle today that we did not begin the morning with the funeral of two of our citizens [. . .] Until when will the government stop burying its head in the sand and running blindly after the peace talks which have never yet existed?" Pearl asked.

He continued: "How long can we wait? The government which releases terrorists - which among the MKs can wash their hands clean [of that decision] by saying that they, themselves, haven't spilled any blood? What else has to happen to us until they realize that there is no one with whom to discuss peace? When will they realize that the other side has never ceased and will not cease to educate their children for incitement, hatred, and murder? I call on the Prime Minister to get a grip [on the situation] and to stop [. . .] to bring terror into our homes and to stop the lawlessness."

Pearl's remarks follow a wave of terror attacks in Judea and Samaria since early in the weekOn Monday, five firebombs were thrown at a bus carrying several passengers at about midnight, among them Bayit Yehudi MK Orit Struk. On Wednesday, terrorists fired on IDF soldiers near Modi'in and attempted to run one down. Just yesterday, the IDF thwarted an attempted terror attack at terror hotspot Tapuah junction. Then, a Palestinian Arab terrorist tried to stab a soldier after firing a flare near a popular hitchhiking post.

John FN Kerry could - God forbid - have blood on his hands soon.

What could go wrong?
