We have no one to blame but ourselves, for “tolerating evil in the camp” while Israeli kablanim (builders) rake in windfall profits through employment of inordinately cheap Arab labor while Jewish unemployment rises.
Shifra Hoffman of Victims of Arab Terror noted, regarding the non-existence of a policy of not hiring Arabs; “We hold the government guilty of this attack for not implementing this policy.” MB
Sixteen Wounded in Copycat Bulldozer Attack in Jerusalem
Excerpts;
Sixteen people were wounded, one of them moderately, as a bulldozer driver went on a rampage in central Jerusalem Tuesday afternoon in an apparent attempt to recreate the terror attack in the capital earlier this month.
The vehicle reportedly left a construction site near Yemin Moshe neighborhood and set off towards Liberty Bell Park (Gan Hapa’amon), near the corner of Keren Hayesod and King David streets. It drove a distance of approximately 160 meters, attempting to overturn a bus and crashing into four other vehicles – one of which it flipped over. The man was then shot dead by a civilian and a border policeman.
The wounded were evacuated to hospitals in the capital.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said police sealed off possible escape routes into east Jerusalem and were searching for two suspects who fled the scene.
Another Bulldozer Attack in Jerusalem: 23 Wounded, by Hillel Fendel (srael National News)
Excerpts;
The dead tractor terrorist was an Israeli citizen, living in Um Tuba, a south-eastern Jerusalem Arab neighborhood not far from Sur Baher.
His name was publicized over the radio, and minutes later, a gag order prohibiting it from being disseminated was publicized – apparently because of his family connections with a an orange-bearded Hamas legislator who has been jailed for involvement in terrorism.
Moshe Feiglin, leader of the Likud’s Manhigut Yehudit faction, was an eyewitness to the attack. He told Voice of Israel Radio…. “At first I thought it was some kind of accident, but very quickly we realized that it was an attack. Thank G-d, it ended very quickly, because of the alertness of passersby who shot him – I saw a man I know from the southern Judea community of Susia, but he was the first one to shoot the terrorist, and then the Border Guard policeman came and finished the story.”
The man who first shot the terrorist was later announced to be Yaki Asael, 56, father of eight, from Susia.
“We have long called for a policy of not hiring Arabs in construction,” said Shifra Hoffman of Victims of Arab Terror. “We hold the government guilty of this attack for not implementing this policy.”
