Arab terrorist stabs and kills 2 in Jerusalem's old city!

[skyguy918]

make it seem like the israelis are attacking the palestinians rather then defending the checkpoints that palestinians are bombarding with rocks and attempting to bring weapons past. 
 a man? why not say a Palestinian?
 they intentionally leave it vague to let uninformed people believe that maybe an israeli did this.

obviously an intelligent objective reader knows what is going on but there are not that many of those in this world

To me it's more than being vague:

There were no deaths reported in either of those incidents, in contrast to what happened in Israel.

Israeli authorities documented several bloody attacks, including one in which an Israeli Jew stabbed a man he mistakenly thought was Arab outside an IKEA near Haifa; and an Israeli Arab hit on the head with a stick on a Netanya beach, according to police spokeswoman Luba Samri.

Other incidents proved even more bloody and were carried out by men that Israeli authorities claim have ties to terrorist groups.

In Jerusalem's ultra-Orthodox Malkei Israel area, for instance, one died and eight were injured when a man drove into a bus stop, ran over three people, then get out of his car and began stabbing people, according to Samri.

And in the Armon Anatziv area of Jerusalem, one person with a gun and another with a knife boarded a bus and launched an attack. Pictures from the scene, tweeted by Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld, showed shattered glass and bloodied floors.

They say there were deaths 'in Israel', but then in the next paragraph go straight into describing acts of violence by Jews against Arabs - neither of which resulted in deaths. They mention the religion/nationality of the victim or attacker for both incidents. Then in the last 2 paragraphs, they describe the incidents where people were killed, yet fail to mention the religion/nationality of anyone involved.

Is Freddie around to explain my St Valentines Day comment? 

I figured they could google it.

Can I ask a serious question?

Why do you read these reports from places you consider extremely biased? What good does it do?

That's not 100% true.  People are staying in more and think twice before going out.

they actually edited it after my post.  Im pretty sure the 2 incidents of israeli against arab violence werent in there before.  So they edited it and made it more biased.

sometimes I ask myself that same question as it angers me to read it.  But I do think it is important to see how others are viewing the situation.  And it isnt like CNN is a small outfit with a limited readership.  This is the one article or one source of articles that many many people will read to gather information about the situation and i want to know what it is saying.

Leaving aside your belief that God wrote the gemarah, if you seriously believe that the act of learning torah protects from harm, why do people get killed while learning torah?  (Not asking as a challenge, seriously trying to understand). 

Will a bulletproof vest protect from absolutely everything? Learning can protect but that does not mean that the protection can't be broken.

I'm having trouble understanding the video of today's attack.
Wasn't the Jew pointing a gun at the animal?
Why didn't he shoot him?
Why did he let him get a few more swipes with the knife, and let him throw the knife at him?

What is the closest street that crosses Malchei Yisrael near that bus stop?

he was probably afraid to shot from far.

I read that it was by Yosef Ben Matisyahu st.

I'm asking about after he got close

[Baruch]

I love how the Arab League is demanding that the UN protects the Palestinians.
But won't take in one Arab refugee into their countries.
When will the world understand?

I'm asking about after he got close

I think his first shot hit but not fatally. After that, when the terrorist got up, it looks like he kept missing even though he was pretty close.  It's not as easy as it looks on TV.

good point. Especially when you're in shock, and scared for your life.

it's good that he got there with his gun within 10 seconds of the stabbing -- saved many more lives!

That pos got up too many times. He must not have been aiming for the head or heart.

[chaimmayer]

Did he miss every time or is the Arab just bullet proof?
It looks like he keeps on shooting and the Arab goes down but then gets right back up!
Scary stuff

Yeah, frustrating to watch but accurate shooting even at close range is really hard when you're all hyped up.  The guy did a great job, the first shot stopped the attack.  The subsequent shots either missed or perhaps his gun jammed.
