    Israeli police: 7 wounded in Palestinian attack

    JERUSALEM (AP) — A Palestinian attacker wounded seven Israelis, one critically, near a Tel Aviv nightclub early Monday, hitting a police checkpoint with a stolen taxi and then stabbing others, police said.

    Meanwhile, Israel's military ordered more troops to the border with Egypt following intelligence reports of an impending attack by Gaza militants, the military said.

    Earlier this month, militants opened fire on a desert road in that frontier area, killing eight Israelis.

    The flare in violence comes just weeks before Palestinians are expected to ask the United Nations to recognize an independent Palestinian state in east Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The Palestinians have adopted that route because vast gaps with the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have stymied negotiations for more than two years.

    The attacker in Tel Aviv was a Palestinian in his 20s from the city of Nablus, according to Israeli police spokeswoman Luba Samri.

    Just before 2 a.m., he stole a taxi in south Tel Aviv and then drove into a police checkpoint securing the street near a popular nightclub, she said.

    He then got out of the car and stabbed passers-by, she said, while shouting "Allahu akbar" — Arabic for "God is great," a phrase often used as a battle-cry by Islamic militants.

    The wounded included four policemen and three civilians, Samri said.

    The attacker was arrested. He was injured and was taken to a hospital.

    No further details were immediately available.

    Such attacks inside Israel, once common, have fallen off in recent years as Israeli and Palestinian forces have restored security in the adjacent Palestinian territory of the West Bank. But some violence has continued, with one Israeli killed in a similar attack with a vehicle in Tel Aviv in May.

      How about this "Palestinian owner the cease fire that was agreed to on Friday" "Israel lifts the blockade on Gaza and stop harassing the Palestinians" and ever body stop using past mistakes as an excuse for new Bombings.

        would be a good start, especially the part about bringing up the past, doing so only makes things more complicated.

      The first step to peace is to stop blowing each other up.

        Mr. Lawrence is clearly missing the cause and effect operating here. Are you still so naive to equate initiating hostilities with steps taken to thwart or respond to them?

      Freedom ask a German if he is a Nazi, or if he was ever a part of the Nazi party.

      When the Palestinians stop blowing Israels up. Then the Israel would have time to sit down with them to determine what is there to sell.

      Palestinian wants legal recognition from an illegal organization that illegally recognized Israel. This is Palestinians legal claim for legal recognition.

        Talking out of both sides of their mouths... typical Arabs.
    • ISRAEL BuiltOnLies  •  9 mths ago
      The Arab League has already made that offer..israel rejected it because it calls for full withdrawal from ILLEGALLY occupied territories and the right of return of the ethnically cleansed Palestinians. So israel's goals are obvious..Lie...deny...defy...lie ..deny..defy..

      Bam,

      • Bogart 9 mths ago
        Take care Blue Shirt, was good talking to you, hopefully will see you around again.
    • Bogart  •  9 mths ago
      Absolutely, Israel has the right to exist, just as Palestine does, i wish both countries peace and prosperity, let terror in its many forms end and never be practiced ever again. Its Bam by the way
    • Blue Shirt  •  9 mths ago
      Bogy, Barn,
      How about an unambiguous declaration that Israel has a right to exist and renouncing terrorism as a means to an end?
      Or is that too much?
    • ISRAEL BuiltOnLies  •  9 mths ago
      I'm getting sick of arguing with a disingenuous shill. There will be no negotiation of how much of my property you are allowed to steal. PERIOD And btw there are no "calmer heads" in the Likud Party who are in charge of this process..They are the thieves liars and hypocrites driving the world to the edge of WW3..

      The Palestinian leadership takes money from international aid fund and pays their homegrown, trained terrorists monthly salaries while they are imprisoned.
      And pays large lump sums to families of suicide bombers.
      And leaves the people poor, uneducated, untrained in anything but violence. And continues to blame the West who gives them the aid money
      And Israel who is busy working night and day to take care of their citizens many of whom are Arabs..
    • Bogart  •  9 mths ago
      Blue Shirt, about you tell us what the Palestinians could give you in return and we can take it from there, first move was made - we asked for an halt to settling - now its your turn
    • Blue Shirt  •  9 mths ago
      Bogart,

      I agree that there needs to be change in the governments. I do believe the people on each side want to live in peace. I do believe there is a soultion short of all out destruction of both sides. and I do believe that the Persions are the problem both long and short term. I am not encouraged by the rehortic I see on these threads. Let us hope that calmer heads are in charge of the process.
    • ISRAEL BuiltOnLies  •  9 mths ago
      Btw...you seem to conveniently forget..it is ISRAEL that is illegally occupying and illegally building "settlements".. If you are illegally bulldozing and stealing my property..I'm not gonna "negotiate" with you about how much you're allowed to bulldoze and steal..
    • Blue Shirt  •  9 mths ago
      Are you trying to make a point? It is lost on me. Negoiations demand a give and take from both sides, otherwise they are not negoiations. So, I will ask again, If the Israelis agree to suspend construction in the disputed territories, what can or should the Arabs give up in return?
    • Bam Batta  •  9 mths ago
      @ Blue Shirt, I have to get going outta' here , but I 'd like to make one last point: the whole issue of security , which is israels constant rallying cry, is not benefitted by the incessant acts of provocation & sabotage of the peace process.......if security really is the pivot point, one would think if israel is sincere , that they would immediately cease those acts of provocation. The US, which gives 30 BILLION to israel over a decade , has stated that the settlement issue is the crux, and that israels actions are deeply disturbing and destroying the possibility of peace.
    • ISRAEL BuiltOnLies  •  9 mths ago
      That's emphasis..not yelling. What could the Palis bring to the negotiations?

      The table...
    • Bogart  •  9 mths ago
      Blue Shirt, better policies have to be implemented on both sides before we can move forward, changes most be made within our respective governments. The sooner Israel and Palestine can become partners the better for both, Israel should surround itself with friends if they are worried about Iran and the negative influence it exerts on its neighbors
    • ISRAEL BuiltOnLies  •  9 mths ago
      I have to take care of some bizness..I'll check this one more time for blue shirt's response before I go..be back in a couple of hours to set you shills straight..If I'm confrontational..it's because we get tired of the same old same old lies and Likud Party talking points
    • Blue Shirt  •  9 mths ago
      Built,

      You don'y have to yell. I read well enough in lower case. I was trying to move the discussion forward. If the Israelis were to freeze construction in the disputed territories, what woul/could the Arbs bring to the table as an quid-pro-quo (sp)
