Palestinian beaten by Jews: "Attacks on us happen every day"

[shaayecanaan]

In the past few weeks, there has been a rise in attacks against Palestinians in Jerusalem. A few weeks ago, a Palestinian was beaten, almost to death, on suspicion that he spoke with a Jewish girl. A few days, later another Palestinian was beaten up for giving a ride to a Jewish female.

Another attack took place last Friday, in a gas station, against a Palestinian worker. All of these attacks have one thing in common: groups of racist Jewish groups feeling safe enough to attack Palestinians without fear of being brought to justice. The Israel Police is yet to deal with this epidemic in the city, or work to protect Palestinians as it works to protect Jerusalem’s Jewish population.

Q: Did you call the police?

A: Yes, The police came, I told them what happened. We have cameras at the station so they could find out the car number and all the details they needed. Then they left. They told me that they will find them and bring them to justice. I on the other hand went to Shaare Zedek hospital in Jerusalem.

Q: The police were contacted by Ynetnews on Saturday night and they said the “were aware of the case and that it will be investigated once a complaint is filed.” So, they are not looking for the perpetrators because you didn’t file a complaint yet. But you say they came and took your testimony on site.

Yes they came the same night. I couldn’t go to the police station because I was in the hospital but when I left the hospital I went to the police station and filed a complaint. I don’t understand why they didn’t investigate before I went to the police station in person.

10. The most extreme rightwingers. And their supporters...

Help! Israel Is Trying to Defend Itself

As far as Hamas and the Palestinian Authority are concerned, it all started when Israel fired back. And they want the rest of the world to adopt this line. Sadly, there is no shortage of naïve people in the West who share this argument. These terrorists are causing more harm to the Palestinians than anyone else. But the two parties would like to see the terror attacks continue so that they can have an excuse to denounce Israel whenever the IDF fires back.

12. seems like it doesn't it ? otherwise I can not imagine why such a link would be posted

[shira]

13. No, I misunderstood the conversation going on. My bad. n/t

[shaayecanaan]

14. right (nt)

[azurnoir]

3. Hardly a surprise but here is a part of the conversation that should be read

it is the victims father who joined in speaking

When an Arab attacks a Jew in Jerusalem or anywhere, the Israel Police declares an emergency and the Palestinian is caught within minutes or hours. However, when a Palestinian is assaulted, the police do nothing even when they have all the evidence in their hands.

4. What is ...

... "hardly a surprise"?

And why? Something you want to say?

[azurnoir]

7. I think I already said it, is there something you wish to add? n/t

[holdencaufield]

8. No...

... but I'm sure there's something you're dying to add.

[azurnoir]

9. Doesn't seem like it but tell us you what do think that might be that I want to add? n/t

5. Nice "slice and dice" of the article

Almost comical the way you decide what to include and what to excise.

[azurnoir]

6. what was not included that you felt should have been? Did you feel the article was misrepresented?

you seem to think that people do not actually read articles

[shaayecanaan]

15. I thought it was concerning

that the police do not seem keen to investigate the incident, given that it was recorded on CCTV.

By all means, if you think that there are sections of the article that should have been excerpted, feel free to reference them.
