Time for a fresh UN condemnation of Israel. “2 Jewish men wounded outside Jerusalem’s Jaffa Gate in suspected terrorist attack,” by Daniel K. Eisenbud, Jerusalem Post, November 24, 2014:
A Jewish man in his 40s is in moderate-to-serious condition after being stabbed in the upper torso Monday evening, while another man sustained light wounds, police said, when both were attacked by a group of Arab assailants near the Old City’s Jaffa Gate.
According to Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld, police “strongly believe the stabbing was a terrorist attack.”
“The victims were surrounded by a group of Arab men, and one was stabbed and the other was lightly injured, although it is not clear if he was stabbed as well,” Rosenfeld said shortly following the attack.
Police arrested one of the suspects and continue to search for the others after they fled the scene, he said, adding that the stabbing victim managed to walk to a nearby police station where he received first aid before being rushed to Shaare Zedek Medical Center.
“Police continue to search the Old City for the other suspects and hope to make arrests soon,” Rosenfeld said.
The attack comes after an Arab youth said he was assaulted Sunday night by three Jewish men near Pisgat Ze’ev, a Jewish neighborhood in east Jerusalem. The unidentified victim was transferred to an area hospital in light condition, police said.
Meanwhile, police announced on Monday that an Arab resident of the Old City was arrested last week on suspicion of spreading violent propaganda on his Facebook page.
In a statement, police said Mahmoud Asila, 32, was arrested on November 18 for posting photos and videos deemed as “incitement,” which called for running over security forces and for attempting to spur car attacks against Israelis in general.
An investigation by Jerusalem Police revealed that after the November 5 car attack during which Ibrahim al-Akry of Shuafat drove into bystanders and killed a Border Police officer and wounded 13 people, Asila posted images and videos on his Facebook page praising the terrorist and condemning security forces who shot and killed Akry.
Asila also posted photos of himself holding guns, knives and an assault rifle, police said. In one screen shot taken from his Facebook page, his background photo shows a picture of a car driving into Israeli soldiers, with the words “Run over for the sake of Jerusalem” in Arabic.
Another screen shot showed a picture of Egged bus driver Yussuf al-Ramuni, 32, who a coroner concluded committed suicide by hanging himself in a bus last week, although the Arab media has argued he was murdered by Jewish settlers.
In the image, Asila wrote: “May you have the blessing of paradise/ the sons of dogs have hanged you.”…

And who was Muhammad’s father again? I keep forgetting!

Mohammed was clearly a bastard. His supposed father died four years before his birth. An opposing tribe claimed one their men sired Mohammed. Mohammed’s birth circumstances are troubling for any Muslim. The story is filled with inconsistencies. His mother did not want the child. Mohammed, descended from Qusai, the ruler of the Kaaba, felt he was entitled to lead the tribe’s cult, but a senior relative would not involve him in the lucrative trade. Such rejection would cause severe emotional confusion in anyone.

Israeli-phobia…These kinds of attacks are increasing in frequency…Someone needs to keep a close eye on those Israeli’s, they sneak around at night and do the most terrible things in the dark. If you ever see an Israeli sneaking around in the dark, leave the area immediately, take cover and stay there till you hear the all clear siren.
Bottom line…never trust an Israeli who believes Allah is God…

We will all have to wear body armor wherever there are Muslims. Muslims have no way of controlling the jihadists in their communities because Islam approves of vigilantism.

Police arrested one of the suspects…
Aw, this is where the Jews are responsible for the never ending Apartheid violence over there in Palestine. The Jews will throw this mujahidin into prison for attempted murder, and his fellow Moslems will have no choice but to murder some Infidels in protest, preferably some Jews.
Not to be harsh, but now that the Bill-Dubya-Barack Kabuki cycle is nearing its completion, the Persians are loading up with ICBM platforms from the Communist China proxy North Korea to put nukes on and, to hear them tell it, launch at Tel Aviv to wipe Israel and all its Jews from the map.
Now when that happens, and it looks like it probably will, *that* is going to some real mass murder terrorism, not just some wanna be stabbing a Jew in the back on the streets.
