Title: Terror in Israel
Topic: Terror in Israel
Discussed by Daniel Agranov
with Israel's Consulate Office in Houston (Houston Embassy)

The MSM won’t report on it anymore, but nearly every day there is some form of terror attack on the people of Israel. They target babies, women, men by themselves, Rabbis in synagogues. These attacks are not usually by guns or bombs, but rather cars running people over or stabbings. Horrible, unimaginable deaths.

What is fueling these vicious attacks by Palestinians in Jerusalem? Why is there so much hatred? Where is the United States during all this? Can the killings be stopped? If so, how?

Listen in as Deputy Consul Daniel Agranov discusses the recent attacks and why he believes they are becoming more frequent and violent.

Also, what should Americans be aware of when traveling to Israel for Christmas or Easter?
