Palestinians Stab 80-Year-Old Woman, Others in 2 Attacks

JERUSALEM — A Palestinian stabbed and wounded a 70-year-old man in northern Israel before being shot by officers, police said Monday just hours after another Palestinian knifed several people, including an 80-year-old woman, in a stabbing spree near Tel Aviv, the latest attacks in more than a month of violence.

The attacks came after Israeli troops shot dead a Palestinian who they say tried to stab a soldier in the West Bank.

A Palestinian stabbed and wounded a 70-year-old Israeli man, seriously wounding him as he walked down the street in the northern city of Netanya, police said Monday evening before he was shot and wounded by police.

Earlier, Israeli police said a Palestinian stabbed an 80-year-old woman in the back on a street in Rishon Lezion near Tel Aviv Monday afternoon and then stabbed a man in the chest before continuing to run down the street and carrying out another attack. Police Spokeswoman Luba Samri said that after stabbing the first two Israelis, the Palestinian, a 19-year-old from the West Bank city of Hebron, tried to enter a clothing shop but a woman in the store slammed a door on him. The Palestinian then went into a cosmetics store and stabbed another man. Bystanders managed to tackle and apprehend the attacker. Police then arrived on motorcycles and detained him.

....as much as they are in the media and by Palestinian leaders.

This is what the ongoing BDS hate campaign ultimately leads to.

Jews are colonialists, thieves, and racists who didn't learn from the Holocaust and have no right to be up on the Temple Mount, live in Jerusalem, or any other part of historic Judea or Gaza.



This steady diet of hate leads to knife attacks on babies and the elderly.

The most rightwing elements in Israeli society made it very clear that such acts are abhorrent.

No excuses.

No such thing exists in reverse when it's 80 year old Jewish women being stabbed in the back. There's always an excuse or justification - and worse, sympathy with the stabber.

....excuse, or outright support acts of terror against:

Thieves, colonists, racists, settlers, ethnic cleansers, victims turned oppressors, Jews who shouldn't be allowed on the Temple Mount, or in Jerusalem, or in Gaza or the W.Bank.....

2. Meanwhile, the Lehi wanted to make a deal with Hitler to save Jews while fighting the British colonialists running Israel. How can Lehi possibly be faulted for that? There's enough to fault them for, but not that.


I'm not sure on how you can keep defending them and their pandering to the Nazis, shira.


To quote truman, shira, "I just tell the truth, and they think it's hell."

Quite recently, Netanyahu said that the holocaust was the Mufti's idea, and his ministers are saying some really hateful things about Palestinians.

Be careful with that one, because to falsely attack Israeli leaders would be just as inciteful using that logic - right?

Israeli society (even Israel's Right) universally condemns terror vs. Palestinians, offering no excuses or justification for it.

Where is this same type of universal condemnation and utter disgust for terror among Palestinian leaders, within BDS, in the media outside of Israel, or within the anti-Zionist Left?

Show us. No excuses, no justification - no sympathy for the terrorists. You can't do it, not with all the dehumanization and bigotry going on - depicting Jews as racist settlers Judaizing Jerusalem, stealing & colonizing land, committing genocide and ethnic cleansing, having no rights on the Temple Mount, in Gaza, or Judea.....while showing more concern and sympathy for terrorists attacking babies and elderly Jews.

It's the same thing with the Lehi-Hitler connection in another thread. In the context of smearing a group of people, it's really easy to use an unsavory representative of that people and point out the Nazi connection.

And I don't buy that Israeli leaders are the least disgusted with Jewish terrorism against Palestinians, at least not in the government. If they were, why haven't they called for the demolition of the homes of Jewish terrorists? And wouldn't they be a little more concerned with Shin Bet's reluctance to investigate the Dawabsha murders?

I can't recollect a single instance where any Israeli minister has done more than pretend to show sympathetic for the Palestinian victims of Jewish terror.

Like these ones will be. There is so much lauding of terrorists going on by Palestinian and Islamic leaders, you would think they are Jennifer Lawrence.
