The Israeli military said the man approached the Allenby
Bridge from Jordan in a truck, exited the vehicle and opened fire on forces
operating the bridge.
The Jordanian citizen’s shooting at the border crossing
shows the depth of anger against Israel. The majority of people in the Arab
world are filled with a strong feeling of rage against the Israeli rulers.
Persons like Maher Thiyab Hussein al-Jazi sacrifice their
lives in defense of Palestinians that there is no prospect for their agonies.
On Jun 03,
2023, four months before the October 07 attack by Hamas on Israel, an Egyptian
border guard also crossed into Israel and killed three soldiers. The Egyptian
officer knew that he would be killed but he defied all the dangers to vent his
anger at Israel.
The anti-Israeli feeling has run deeper since Israel started
the sadistic war on Gaza.
Jordanians have held regular protests against the Gaza
war despite harsh restrictions on speech and public gatherings.
The driver’s brother Shady Al-Jazi said his brother’s anger
at Israel’s war on Hamas in Gaza may have been a motivating factor.
“He used to work as a truck driver and would cross (the
bridge) often to offload the truck and then return back to Jordan. But his
grief over what’s happening to the Muslim nation, seeing all the killing in
Gaza, and every one of us who feels passionately for his brethren, this could
motivate him,” he told Jordanian news outlet Ammon in an on-air interview, the
Washington Post reported.
In
reaction to the incident, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his
country is “surrounded by a murderous ideology led by Iran's axis of evil.”
But it is ideologically driven extremists, including
Netanyahu, who have put Israel in such a precarious situation. They cannot get
out of this self-created quagmire otherwise there is a U-turn in Israel’s
policy toward the Palestinians.
Netanyahu
is notoriously famous for telling lies and making nonsensical remarks. Even
when people gathered outside Capitol Hill to protest the Israeli war on Gaza
while he was addressing the American Congress on July 24, he called protestors
"useful idiots" of Iran and claimed that Iran is funding and
promoting anti-war protests.
Netanyahu has lost direction and badly gone mad. He is not
even listening to the Israelis who want an end to the war in Gaza. About
750,000 people took to the streets on Saturday night in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem
demanding a ceasefire in Gaza.
In the campaign against his rivals for recapturing power he
called himself the “man of security”. But he has put the entire Israel in
jeopardy.
Netanyahu’s attempts to demonize Iran for Israel’s troubles
neither work nor deceive people. Every person with a common sense can easily
understand the hatred toward Israeli rulers.
Netanyahu’s
army has been committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza
Strip since October last year. The settlers have killed about 700 Palestinians
in the West Bank during these 340 days.
The anti-Israeli feeling is also boiling high in many
non-Arab countries including the United States. The protests in American
universities against the war on Gaza and calling President Biden “genocide Joe”
for shipping lethal arms to Israel are examples of impatience and resentment
against the savage war on Gaza.
