השכנות התפייסו לאחר 8 שנים והאברך ה'צמח' התעורר - Incredible story about the power of shalom.

"נפגע במתקנים הגרעיניים של ישראל"

On March 19 a statement was issued by the UN regarding the attack in Turkey. The perpetrators of the attack are not identified. But, a day later, a UN condemnation of a house fire which might have been an arson attack or an unintentional blaze includes the words, "by suspected Jewish extremists."
  
March 19
The Secretary-General condemns today's bombing in central Istanbul, which is reported to have killed and injured dozens of people. .. The perpetrators of this appalling violence must be brought to justice, consistent with human rights obligations.

Statement by the United Nations Coordinator for Humanitarian Assistance and Development Aid, Mr. Robert Piper, on the arson attack in the occupied West Bank Jerusalem, 20 March 2016


"I strongly condemn today’s arson attack by suspected Jewish extremists on the home of Palestinian Ibrahim Dawabsheh in the occupied West Bank village of Duma.  ...easily have resulted in a more tragic outcome, as did the heinous terrorist attack last July on the home of Mr. Dawabsheh’s relatives in the same village. Mr. Dawabsheh is the sole witness to that deadly arson attack which resulted in the death of 18-month-old Ali and his parents, and injuries to his 5-year-old brother Ahmad. http://www.unsco.org/Documents/Statements/SC/2016/Statement%20by%20DSC%20Piper%20on%20the%20arson%20attack%20in%20the%20occupied%20WB%20.pdf


“They want to kill Ibrahim. He was the only person who saw the settlers when they attacked [last July],” Duma resident Anwar Dawabsheh told Anadolu Agency, adding that Ibrahim was scheduled to appear in court next month to give evidence in the murder case. http://www.newsfultoncounty.com/politics/news/2029982-dawabsheh-murder-witness-home-hit-by-suspected-arson-attack

The New York Times reported on the arson attack whch occurred in July that killed a Palestinian toddler and his parents.

Witnesses said that they saw masked men in black clothing throw firebombs through the windows of two homes near the village entrance around 2 a.m., shortly after the family returned from visiting relatives. Mr. Dawabsheh, the neighbor, and another eyewitness, Ali Raqi, 21, both said they saw two men standing over the couple, their clothes still alight.

“I reached the house, and I found Saad, lying on the ground,” said Mr. Raqi, who was awake, unable to sleep from the heat. “Riham was there, by the well,” he said. “Riham told me, I have a son, for the sake of God, help him.”

Why does Mr. Piper refer to Mr. Dawabsheh as the sole witness?
