Sometimes it pays to have a good GPS in your car because if you live in Israel or Chicago, it can help you avoid making a wrong turn and thereby save your life.
A father and daughter were driving in the West Bank on Sunday and made a wrong turn which led to a village populated by Palestinians, people who don't abide by Jews, with their fancy cars and perfume and clean teeth, and being all gussied up, coming into their town like they own the place.
According to the pair, they got lost and tried to use a navigation app to get back onto their route, but ended up in the Palestinian village of Dayr Jarir, about a four-minute drive from their destination and loaded with anti-Zionist and anti-Semites . . . but I repeat myself.
“When we got into the village, it looked quiet and we didn’t see anything suspicious,” Inbal said.
They soon found themselves in a traffic jam, when a group of young local turds began hurling stones at their car.
“They yelled at us ‘Jish’ [Arabic for army] and people started pointing at us to turn around,” Inbal said. “Someone moved their car forward to block off the group so we could turn around and get out of there.” That was very humane and whoever did that deserves credit.
Rami said he tried to drive away but couldn’t. “They were pointing at my shoulders, referring to military ranks, and at that moment we were pelted with a barrage of stones and some tried to open the car doors,” he said.
Fortunately, they both managed to drive away without being dragged out of the car and being killed for being the wrong religion.

“There are rocks weighing 6-7 kilos that landed inside the car. One rock stopped at the door frame of the car that was 2 centimeters away from me. It was just crazy,” Rami said.
However, they weren't completely out of the proverbial woods.
“For more than two hours no one at the [Ariel police] station talked to us — the only thing that bothered them is that we came in with our dog, which is somehow illegal without a certain procedure,” Inbal said.

[Dogs are haram in Islam. Perhaps Mohammed had a bad experience with a pooch back in the day.]
“They did not ask if we needed dry clothes or mental health assistance. We went through a very difficult, traumatic event, and no one talked to us for hours. When a police investigator finally came and took the rocks out of the car, he just couldn’t believe it and asked, ‘How did you get out of there alive?'”
The Israel Police said in response: “This is an incident that took place while dealing with dozens of other incidents simultaneously following the storm that affected the entire West Bank. We know that as part of addressing [the complaints], some of the complainants had to wait before seeing an investigator and giving testimony, and we apologize for that. The investigation of the case continues.”

So take it from me, guys and gals, if you're out galavanting around in a strange town along the West Bank, and you happen to be Jewish, Christian, Hindu, or atheist, galavant the hell out of there lickety-split. And splurge on a good GPS.
