Palestinian injures eight in Tel Aviv (Reuters) - A Palestinian from the occupied West Bank commandeered a taxi in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv before dawn on Monday, stabbing the driver and then injuring seven others, including police officers, after crashing into a roadblock, a police spokeswoman said. Police suspect the perpetrator, who was in his 20s and arrested at the scene where he was also injured, "carried out an assault for nationalist motives," spokeswoman Luba Samri said. She said the suspect was from the West Bank city of Nablus, and that he shouted "Allahu Akbar" (God is greatest) when he struggled with police as they arrested him. The incident occurred near a nightclub in the Israeli commercial capital where criminal incidents are frequent, but where police have also been on the alert for possible attacks inside Israel after heightened tension along Israel's borders with Gaza and Egypt in the past 10 days. The assailant "stole a taxi cab and drove it to the nightclub with the express intent of carrying out an attack," she said. He stabbed and injured the driver, then crashed into a police roadblock outside the club, and got out of the cab and stabbed officers and civilians, she added. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/08/29/us-palestinians-israel-idUSTRE77S07Z20110829 Nice, stab a cabbie and then try to kill people with a cab. Oh, and scream "Allahu Akbar", while you stab police officers for good measure. And, people wonder why the Pals are looked down upon as being Muslim terrorists. _
Don't be silly. There's nothing well-done about attacking random people with a knife. It's a heinous crime that won't do anything to further the Palestinian cause. If anything it will provide the Israeli government with more material to justify their heinous behaviour against Palestinians. Absolutely stupid in every single aspect!
There is if they are murderous colonialists occupying someone else's country and backed by the foremost military power on earth surely? What would you do if they were murdering your children?
I would certainly not murder theirs thus putting myself on the very same low level. If I was in for terrorism and bloody reprisals - which I'm not, because I deem peaceful resistance to be much more effective - I would certainly pick people as my target who I knew to be involved with crimes rather than stabbing random and quite probably utterly innocent people at a night-club. As understandable as I find Palestinian anger and despair, it's definitely been channelled in the wrong direction here.
I agree. Murdering the innocent on either side does not help anyone, nor does such set a good example. Passive resistance, on the other hand, would do far more to put pressure on the Israeli government to change its practices. This type of violence just encourages more violence and will thus do nothing to solve or reduce any problems.
Nablus, just a little south-west of the Sea of Galilee, has long been a hard-core anti-Israeli town. It has about the only openly operating pocket of Hamas in the West Bank and it has been known to disappear the odd Israeli who wandered into town alone. FYI.
Simply make the Palestinians suffer for every attack. They drive a taxi in people? 10 shells on b th the bank and gaza. They fire a rocket? 10 shells on both the bank and gaza. Failed / successful attack with bombs? 10 shells per casualty on both the bank and gaza. Repeat untill they are sick of their holy Jihad. The arabs have always talked with violence, be sure you speak the same language and shout harder to make them understand.
No occupation=no resistance to occupation...Israel, by defintion, are the aggressors and the Palestinian's respond with reprisal attacks...simple. Your attempts to frame 'jihad' in terms of anything other than the context of a people fighting against their oppression at the hands of their oppressors is simply laughable.
Compromises only work with people who are not born in a violent culture where killing jews is the highest glory one can archive. Only violence works on those backwards people. Just enough to make them realize there is another way.
Tell that to the native Americans: Or those that were native to the Caribbean but were wiped out by the earlier Europeans. All in all, those groups no longer bother anyone... And if you want to be really evil, look at the genocide of the Jews in western Europe. NOt only are the western European nations still anti-Semitic to a certain degree, but there are less Jews bothering anyone in these countries. The ones doing the "bothering" are now Arabs....
