Dad news from Israel as a USA citizen was killed today on the first day of VP Joe Biden's state visit there. Palestinian terrorist and thugs are wreaking havoc as usual in Jerusalem.
"An American tourist was stabbed to death in one of three bloody terror attacks that rocked Israel Tuesday, just as Vice President Biden arrived in Tel Aviv to meet with leaders in an effort to stem Palestinian violence and mend frayed relations with the Jewish state.
Palestinian attackers shot and stabbed a dozen policemen and civilians in separate assaults around Israel, continuing near-daily incidents that began in October and have left more than 200 Israelis and Palestinians dead. Two Israeli police officers and 10 civilians were wounded in the attacks and three Palestinian attackers were shot and killed.
Part of Biden's mission is to smooth over the latest bump in relations between the Obama White House and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after a public falling out over the Iran nuclear deal last year. Biden will meet with Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Wednesday to discuss military aid, a session that comes on the heels of the prime minister canceling a trip to Washington.
As if to underscore the continuing problem of Palestinian violence, which has surged since the so-called "knife intifada" began in Jerusalem last fall, a Palestinian opened fire at police near Jerusalem's Old City an hour before his plane touched down. One police officer was reportedly shot in the head in the attack, and another hurt as the assailant was chased down and killed.
Then, after Biden arrived in Tel Aviv, 10 Israelis were stabbed in the city's Jaffa port section, Reuters reported. A BBC reporter tweeted that Biden was a few hundred meters from the attack."

LTC Stephen F., I hate that an American was killed while in Jerusalem, but by now tourists going to the Middle East should know it's dangerous, and we're not wanted. I was concerned about VP Biden going over there. I'm glad thete was no attempt on his life.

[Editorial correction] The first line should read "Bad news from Israel..."
I was saddened by this news not just because an American was killed but that Palestinian thugs are still able to run loose and wantonly kill and maim while the elite of the world blame Israel.
The irony of the situation as this administration sends a high level diplomatic mission using the VPOTUS coincides with a murder of an American citizen on the first day of the visit.
