If you want to see what life is like inside Israel, check out the blog by A Soldier’s Mom. This is the story you won’t hear about in the American media. All the details left out by our media like the fact that the 2 attackers that stabbed an Israeli soldier last week were 14 and 17 years old.

Here’s an excerpt from her blog:
“A round up of the news then, is in order. A Palestinian was killed by soldiers today – that’s what most of the world media will tell you and Gaza tweeters will announced. Will they tell you that Zakaria Abu Aram and his accomplice stabbed a soldier today, and that Abu Aram was then subdued by other soldiers before he could attack others? Will they tell you the two attackers were actually boys aged 14 and 17?
Three firebombs were thrown at IDF patrols.
A mortar was fired at Israel, and over 200 Arabs rioted and attacked soldiers near Qalandia. All in all, considering it was Purim in Israel, I have to feel we got off easy. Purim is a happy time in Israel, a fun, easy holiday. We had a barbecue on our balcony and listened to all the neighbors making noise as they too celebrated. The phone barely rang and I avoided the news. In short, it was a great day to ponder an important lesson.”
