The Palestinian Authority is to blame for the stabbing and car-ramming terror attack in northern Israel on Friday in which the attacker killed two and injured two others, according to Ofir Akunis, consul general of Israel in New York.

The murder victims were Aviv Maor, 19, and Shimshon Mordechai, 69.

“The sickening Palestinian terror struck Israeli civilians once again today,” Akunis said. “This barbaric attack is a direct result of the relentless incitement encouraged by the Palestinian Authority through its media and education system.”

“As usual, Abu Mazen continues to support terrorism and refrains from condemning it,” Akunis added, of Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas.

“This is my responsibility, that each one of the kids will get the same treatment, the same money,” Mody Kidon, of the Israeli Children’s Fund told JNS.
