The Islamic State has called for jihad attacks against Infidel civilians, and we see them increasingly — in Israel, Europe and the U.S. But authorities are content to wave their hands and insist it has nothing to do with Islam, which means they have no clue as to the motive of these attacks and don’t want one, which means there will be many more such attacks.
“Palestinian stabs 12 in Tel Aviv bus attack,” AFP, January 22, 2015 (thanks to Lookmann):
Tel Aviv (AFP) – A knife-wielding Palestinian attacked passengers on a bus in Tel Aviv on Wednesday wounding at least 12 people before being shot by a passing prison officer, Israeli police said.
It was the first attack in Tel Aviv since mid-November when a young Israeli soldier was stabbed to death by a Palestinian.
The attacker struck in the morning rush hour in the heart of Israel’s commercial capital, police spokeswoman Luba Samri said, describing him as a “terrorist.”
Twelve people were wounded in the attack, including three who were in serious condition, four in moderate condition and five who sustained light injuries, hospital sources said.
Another seven people were treated for shock.
“The terrorist stabbed the bus driver several times but the driver fought back until he fled on foot and was neutralised by a guard from the prisons’ service,” a police statement said.
He was shot in the leg then taken to hospital for further investigation.
Witnesses told army radio the driver apparently used pepper spray or tear gas to try to stop the attack.
Brief footage from the scene broadcast by Israeli television channels showed people fleeing a man who rams a knife into the back of a woman, then runs on when she collapses.
Police identified the attacker as a 23-year-old Palestinian from Tulkarem in the northern West Bank, who was staying in Israel illegally….

Not a “palestinian”.
Not an “Arab”.
A local Arab Muslim.
And even the ‘local’ and ‘Arab’ bits are ultimately irrelevant for explaining what he did and why he did it. He’s a Muslim and he hates Jews and he wants to kill them because it pleases his infernal ‘allah’, demon of blood and war, drinker of human blood. Because if he kills Jews, it’s a ticket to paradise. So, with a great big knife under his coat, he got on a bus full of Jews, and then he started stabbing everyone in sight. Letting Jewish blood, to feed allah, who is always hungry.
The Israeli Jewish cops who took him down should have shot to kill.
And his body should not have been given back to the Muslim mob, but reduced to ashes and scattered in the sea, like Eichmann’s was.

”The Israeli Jewish cops who took him down should have shot to kill.

My own very first thought.
Why, oh why, does Israel tolerate these fifth columnists in their midst ? As I’ve said before, they’ve got the name, so why not have the game as well ? Round up *every* mohammedan in Israel and chuck them over to gaza. Israel and her citizens would be 100% better off.
Spot On says
“Why, oh why, does Israel tolerate these fifth columnists in their midst ?”
Our political leaders in Washington (as does Europe) tolerates these barbarians quite well, even in the WH…and they are key consultants to the WH. I believe there are a few reasons…first they all have a lot in common with many of the leaders. Second, they have a lot of money. Third they represent a WH key constituency.
To answer your question, since our leaders and Europe tolerate them well, I believe Israel is forced to do likewise.
SpiritOf1683 says
Exactly. They should have sent him to Hell. The Israeli authorities don’t need to question him as to why he did it, for they ought to know by now, after 67 years of putting up with these savages.
Oliver says
A friend of mine heard on an Israeli news station that a friend of this piece of garbage- went to a local police station and said that he ( the knifer) and the one who was the ” friend’ were at a party the night before, and he exhibited none of the usual rantings of a wwacko. (paraphrasing). The friend, appearantly was afraid of being picked up for questioning.

Also, on Yahoo/AP propaganda– the pieces of garbage in Gaza were celebrating. Israel should have killed more of these animals.

I recognize the existence of Muslims who do not agree with political Islam. These Muslims have maintained a conscience, somehow, through the teachings of Islam. I honestly don’t understand how they can revere a man like Muhammad, which is the essence of Islam. Any honest examination of Muhammad will show a murderer, thief, liar, pirate, sadist and sociopath.
I actually consider his marriage and consummation of Aisha when she was 6 and 9 respectively, to be his lesser crimes, as marriage at that age was more-or-less common in that society. The big problem comes because Muslims mindlessly emulate the prophet, and if he did it, regardless of how disgusting, it is right and moral to them.
Anyway, some Muslims can square the circle, revere Muhammad, and retain a conscience. If they are already citizens, they should live in peace. But,any sane immigration policy would have a blanket exclusion on any further Muslim immigration into any civilized society.
Marle says
I agree. And we need to be calling this out for what it is
dumbledoresarmy says
And it is this story (and not a few others like it, Muslim passengers getting on board trains, and planes, and buses, and then exploding themselves, or stabbing or shooting the Infidels all around them) that sheds a searing light upon the sheer, screaming madness of that “I’llridewithyou” hashtag campaign.
Any Islamosavvy infidel who, given the choice, on a bus or a train (not much choice on a plane, alas), avoids sitting next to an identifiable Muslim, or who if an identifiable Muslim, whether male or female, sits down next to him or her, then quietly gets up and moves somewhere else, is merely exercising the precautionary principle. This particular Muslim may not, of course, get out a big knife, or a gun, and start killing people left right and centre; they may *not* have a bomb on their person, or in the handbag or shopping bag or nappy bag or backpack…but then, again, they *might*.
I’d love to see what would happen if, when some Muslim female in hijab – or in sinister Slave Mask – starts whining about how none of the Dirty Infidels will sit next to her on the bus or the train, and that people are giving her funny looks, got told point blank: “Quit whining; people are just being sensible, because how do *they* know you haven’t got a bomb in your bag, or a gun (like the bloke in the Cafe) or a knife, like any number of cowardly stabbers of Jews, in Israel? They can’t know; and enough members of your Gang, whose Gang Badge and Gang Colours you are wearing right now, have done just that, for people to be justifably wary of anybody wearing that badge. Publicly declare your membership of a Death Cult – one whose members seem very often to feel entitled to kill non-members merely for being non-members – and people will *treat* you like a member of a Death Cult.”
RonaldB says
The funny thing is that many of the Muslim women in the garbage bags are fat, feeble, ugly, and very obviously damaged and misshapen due to rampant inbreeding. The only ones they are a threat to are anyone who has to see them outside of a burka.
Nevertheless, there are converts to Islam, or males posing as women, or Muslim women lucky enough to not be too far downstream of the deliberate effort by Islam to degrade the population, to make such people dangerous. Any sane society would ban the wearing of any garb designed to hide the identity of the wearer. France has done just that. Don’t ever say France can do nothing right.
Off-track: want to know something else France did right? De Gaulle sent a special envoy to President Johnson before the futile Vietnam War got really off the ground (58,000 US soldiers needlessly killed) to warn him that France had lost 90,000 troops in just such a war. De Gaulle was not a friend of the US, but the favor he tried to do us by such a warning was more than worth all the tactics he used to nettle us.
David says
Israel needs to expel these “Palestinians” living in Israel, there are too many Muslims inside the gates that should be outside them. Hamas has praised the attack.

I think the Israelis will soon have more on their plates than lone wolf attacks of this type.
Americans have tried to clip Putin’s wings for taking the Crimea and interfering in Ukraine. In return the Russinas have decided to arm the Arabs with Sophisticated Russian S-400 missiles – Iran, Egypt, Syria and wait for it …Hizballah despite strong objections by United States and Israel.

Hmmm. An informative comment. Are you slipping, Rezali?
Following up on your suggestion, Putin obviously considers the Ukraine part of Russia’s vital interests. The US-supported coup in the Ukraine presented an immediate threat to Putin: having a strong, armed, traditional enemy right next door. It is not in the interest of the United States to pick needless and dangerous fights with a country like Russia. We supported one faintly better totalitarian regime over another in the Ukraine. We should not have been involved at all.

Israel Tuesday, Jan. 20, used the media to relay a “clarification” to Tehran, asserting that its air strike over the Golan Sunday did not target Gen. Mohammad “Ali Allah Dadi and his staff of five, who were not known to be traveling in the Hizballah convoy. “We thought we were hitting an enemy field unit on its way to attack us,” said a senior Israeli security official.

Well, here is Hezbollah, continually declaring its animosity towards Israel, and supporting occasional terror tactics on Israel’s northern border…plus, stockpiling thousands of rockets along Israel’s northern border. And continually declaring its intention to ultimately wipe out the Jewish state. Iran, the major sponsor of Hezbollah, says exactly the same thing. Iran makes it clear that only military weakness keeps it from attacking Israel immediately.
So, it’s no big mystery as to why Israel has a hair trigger on military movements close to its border. It is not in Israel’s interest to needlessly provoke a confrontation with Iran, but Israeli forces also have the responsibility of protecting its border. No civilized society can live with the knowledge that it’s frontiers are subject to constant attack.
You yourself, Rezali, attempt to paint the picture of a civilized person, while taking joy in the mistake of a country you despise (Israel) for reasons of your religion. You actually put a face on the Muslims with whom we have to deal: civilized veneer, but deeply committed to any development which, in your mind, contributes to the destruction of a country which offends your sensibility because of your religious beliefs.
Rezali Mehil says
Hello RonaldB,
Good to talk to someone sensible than the offensive old bag Mirren or the childless Graven. It would be good to talk to DDA …but she rates herself as “too upper-class” to talk to Muslims…and that is a pity.
Still in reply to your comments…
Iran makes it clear that only military weakness keeps it from attacking Israel immediately.
I think this is just posturing …Iran is shia…and we shia collectively are not unthinking barbarians like the Wahhabi Sunni.
Ronald – You yourself, Rezali, attempt to paint the picture of a civilized person, while taking joy in the mistake of a country you despise (Israel) for reasons of your religion.
I am a highly educated and civilised person – I do not take the position that Israel cannot exist – that is the sunni…what I object to is that Israel should not keep pushing …keep grabbing land .. new townships …that is wrong.
Also I think that the head of the Jewish religious hierarchy should set up a meeting with muslim leaders and apologise for the jewess Zeynab bint Al-Harith who poisoned Muhammad SAW …I think that would go a long way in releasing tension and asking for Muslim forgiveness …and test whether it comes or not.
Ronald – You actually put a face on the Muslims with whom we have to deal: civilized veneer, but deeply committed to any development. of Islam.
I am a 47 year old muslima originally from Pakistan – who only wears the burka on special occasions – what face can I bring to you in this regard.
I only know that Islam will prevail against any odds – or the filth that is thrown our way. With things as they are… and escalating in the West… it is my prediction that up to a million Westerns will convert to Islam over the next decade to try and increase their chances of living in peace in the West.
My message to you is around what happens AFTER….therefore you should convert to Shia so that the Wahabbi cannot get the footholds that they so need.
Shia are 4eva so please…learn the natas and the writings of Hussain RA…we taught the sunni to read and write — those beggers only have oral traditions.

MKG says
Rezali, I truly like your posts. It gives us pagans and infidels a look into the hearts and minds of muslims. I read them very carefully and try to understand where you are coming from. You do, in fact sound very well educated and civilized. Even though your posts are indicative of stage 2 jihad, I would not hesitate to smile and wave to you in passing on the street. Perhaps I have done so already.
As civilized people we can all live in the same territory and if our religions do not interact we can all share in national fellowship. But, unfortunately that is not in your interest, if I have read and understood your posts correctly. You want peace. I get that. But, you want peace your terms. The problem is, so does everyone else, and that is where fellowship turns to hatred and violence and the end of peace. Your God commands you to submit. My Gods tell me to stand. They do not like holding allegiance to slaves. They do not like people who grovel associating with them. So you see, Christians and Jews are not the only ones who will resist Islamization. They have their enablers. We have enablers too. The Gods have a special place for those who die on their feet in combat. Since I am a Pagan who will not submit I am a dead man when it comes to islamic supremacy anyway. So I might as well fight and die well so I can feast in Odin’s Golden Hall with my Brothers.
More Later….?

RonaldB says
Rezali,
As nice or as educated as you may be personally, your thinking is strictly screwball, by any rational standards.
“therefore you should convert to Shia so that the Wahabbi cannot get the footholds that they so need.”
Do you see how insane this is, to tell me I have to convert to any Islam, let alone Shia Islam? Besides which, Shia are a small minority in the Muslim world, and the Sunnis will take care of the Shia. If you look to Iran for help, tell Iran to stop threatening Israel. That fact is, Islam is an aggressive, totalitarian movement that will try to suppress other people when given the opportunity, including Muslims of faintly different persuasion.
You say the Jewish religious hierarchy should apologize for a Jewish woman poisoning Muhammad. In other words, you attribute a collective guilt to Jews for something that may or may not have happened 1600 years ago. I have a deep resentment to the wanton torture and beheading of the 900 Jews of Bani Queraysh, but have no intention of holding any living Muslim responsible for that, much as they express their glee at the story.
In fact, there is no “Jewish Religious hierarchy”. This is an expression of your stereotyped thinking, fully consistent with the “Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion”, with which I’m sure you’re familiar. Jews, like any other people, are marked by a diversity of views and opinion, and are only characterized collectively by works such as the Koran, which characterizes Jews as “the worst of people”.
“it is my prediction that up to a million Westerns will convert to Islam over the next decade to try and increase their chances of living in peace in the West.”
Hindus, Buddhists, Shintos, Ba’hai, Jews, Christians, atheists, Anabaptists, etc all live in peace in the West. The only ones not living in peace are Muslims, who are associated with crime, dissent, and violence wherever they gain a significant majority. Someone may be lured by the swan song of Islam, telling them how they can elevate their own modest self-concept, but would definitely not be attracted by Islam as a way of living in peace with their neighbors.
You have no problem with Israel’s existence, except for Israel’s grabbing territory from the Muslims living in the Palestinian territories. I’m wondering if you bring into the equation the many square miles the Israelis gave to Gaza when the Jewish Defense Forces moved the settlers out? When the settlers left thriving businesses intact for use by the people of Gaza, which the Gazans immediately destroyed? This is a common tact: to take the injustices that any government and society, including Israel, will commit in the normal course of being an imperfect society, and turn it into an excuse for criticizing the very existence of Israel. It’s worked well for the 57 Muslim nations in the OIC.
You, in fact, illustrate the fact that devout Muslims, however personally affable, are not to be trusted, simply because of the crazy thinking that seems to accompany membership in Islam.

Like you …I too have the right to be offended …I don’t know the different stages of Jihad…only that nobody should be killed over cartoons irrespective of what the sunni side peoples say.
MKG – we can all share in national fellowship…
I do share the national fellowship but upto the point where there is no detachment from Allah SWT …I mean …. how can I?…how to take a stance against the saviour who attracts …my beautiful beautiful Allah SWT.
I would feel dirty to my dying day …each red corpuscle that pumps away from my heart – oxygenated – will not want to return to get fresh oxygen – I would not deserve it.
This Oxygen given freely by Allah SWT – would be rejected by my tissues – they would not accept it – Anoxia – that is what it is called.
Anoxia… total lack of oxygen…die b*tch …that would be the response from my *own* muscle tissue – and then ..who to blame for my going …why me ofcourse and would Allah SWT be there for me …well sir …that is not something that I want to risk…it’s too important…that cutoff point is one that strives to find all your life…it is the balance to life.

Rezali, in response to your last post.
I think I understand exactly what you are saying. And, most people who are reading this understand as well. You are a devout muslim. Strong in your faith,and may Allah bless you for it. Most people feel exactly the same way you do about their own faith. So, you must understand how it makes people feel when they hear that islam is the only true religion and will inevitably rule the world. Depending on the depth of their faith, their reactions very from sarcastic to anger, as you have witnessed on this sight. Make no mistake, the strength of there faith motivates them. It is reciprocity.
An old Chinaman once told me, “It is easier to wear a pair of sandals than to cover the earth in leather for fear of stepping on stones and thorns.”
Meaning, it is easier to conquer yourself, than to change the world.
After talking to this man for a while, and telling him why I was there, he said, “Thank you. I have absolutely no complaints.” A man secure in his philosophy and full of hospitality. Guard yourself and leave the world alone to take care of itself. That was good council.
A test of your faith? You do not have to answer to me or anyone but yourself.
“if you were the only muslim on earth who believed what you do, would you still believe it?

You say that Shia Muslims are not a threat to Israel and do not wish to wipe it off the map. You also say that Iran is Shia, but Iran does want to wipe Irael off the map.
How do you explain that?
Jen says
You can’t explain it, Peggy. The way Muslims think often makes no sense. They’re so deluded and that is why you can’t trust them. They speak with forked tongues.
“I do share the national fellowship but upto the point where there is no detachment from Allah SWT …I mean …. how can I?…how to take a stance against the saviour who attracts …my beautiful beautiful Allah SWT.”
In other words, so long as the country isn’t Islamic and is sufficiently detached from “Allah SWT” (which all non-Muslim societies are) then Rezali can’t take a stance against the “saviour” like jihadists who attract people to the beautiful “Allah SWT” by raping, killing, lying and subduing. So saying that you share a national fellowship with a society you know is non-Islamic, is essentially worthless because non-Islamic culture is completely contradictory to Islam and irreconcilable. The “interfaith dialogue” only goes one way- and that’s to more accommodation.
She wants more people to be drawn to Islam and is well aware that the violent jihadists and their stealth jihad brothers and sisters are an important component of doing this. The end justifies the means. Even if she wouldn’t partake in the violence herself, she knows they’re doing what is required to draw people to the “sweet, sweet” allah; even if it is underhanded or cruel. That’s why she said to disregard what Muhammad did and the innocents being trampled on etc etc. It’s all part of Islam and we may as well jump aboard, according to Rezali and those similar. Typical Muslim heh..
Mirren10 says
I see the repulsive ‘rezali’ is trying a new tack – his mullah must have been very cross with his ham fisted dawah, and sent him back to school to try to learn a new siren song.
Unfortunately for rezali. no matter how hard he tries to spin a sweet, sticky web, the mohammedan monster keeps poking its snout above the treacle.
For those who may not have come across rezali before, I recommend typing his name into the JW search engine, to read some of the vile and evil crap he has consistently vomited up.
Amongst other revealing insights into the foul mohammean mind, rezali believes it is ‘honour’ **murderers** who should have our sympathy, not the **victims**, and even though he is a Shiite, has schizophrenically opined his willingness to die at the hands of sunnis, if this advances the cause of islam. And, of course, his hatred for Israel and Jews, is poisonously virulent, no matter how twistedly he tries to pretend otherwise.
rezali also loves blood, pain, screams and torture, and thinks it’s aOK for little babies to have their scalps slashed in that insane and revolting Shiite ritual.
rezali pretends to be a female mohammedan, living in the UK, but from sundry clues, ham fistedly dropped, I personally believe he is a mohammedan male, living in pakicrapstan. In his attempt to shore up the pretence he is a female, he favoured us on another thread (can’t find it at the moment) with a particularly revolting description of how difficult sexual relations were with his ‘husband’, after he had been busily flagellating himself. This is one very sick puppy !
rezali has a particularly venomous animus against Champ, gravenimage, dda, and myself, because we all, in our various ways, take his bullshiite apart. 🙂

RonaldB says
Mirren10 says:
“If MKG (and RonaldB) *have* fallen for rezali’s syrupy and ultimately sinister slop…”
Mirren10,
Your post illustrates what seems to be a common problem in a blog with so many contributions, many of them fairly long or subtle. You skim the comments, and assume the surface appearance: not being personally impolite to Rezali is, to you, falling for her syrupy rhetoric in a particular posting.
While I recognize the necessity of not taking ALL your time in reading comments, I suggest perhaps re-reading comments which entice you to make personal assumptions towards regular contributors. You have conducted admirable research on Rezali’s past postings, but don’t let that make you extraordinarily careless towards others who are more sympathetic towards your views.
What really matters is not our personal orientation towards an individual. I myself prefer being polite to all, even to obvious jihadis who come in dressed as sheep. In fact, they are my favorite target: I can demolish their arguments much more effectively without personal invective. Check out my reply to Rezali.
To me, personal invective is not an argument at all. When someone uses personal invective, I tend to discount the argument, even if the argument itself is sound. My attitude is, if your argument is sound, why use invective? Also, suppose someone begins with a different world-view than I have: say, an evangelical Christian. If they use invective, I’m forced to try to pick out the threads of logic they use, which are tainted by presuppositions that I don’t share. See the problem?

Although many think Israel is not tough enough the criticism against Israel is already extreme. They are constantly under attack in Europe and the UN. Israel is out there on its own fighting Terrorism daily.

Those Jews again. Always causing trouble. This time they are jumping in front of Palestinian knives. How can there ever be peace.
I know people who have traveled to Israel and have seen how impoverished the Palestinians are. Because of that and Liberal commentary, they believe the Jews have mistreated the Palestinians. I always take the opportunity to remind them that the Palestinians have wasted their money on tunnels and rockets and that is why they are impoverished.
Then they speak poorly of the Israelis when they fire back at the Palestinians after the Palestinians have attacked them. I point out that the Palestinians started firing rockets first.
When they say the Israelis rockets landed on civilian targets and they should better direct the trajectory, I point out that all of the rockets fired by Palestinians are indiscriminate.
For some reason, they never get off the “Jews are bad” bandwagon.
There is no hope for Liberals or Jihadists.
Oliver says
There is a site- (unfortunately, not sure of the name of it) that had photos taken OF PALESTINIAN REFUGEE CAMPS IN JORDAN AND ANOTHER MUSLIM COUNTRY.
The standard(?) of living (?) for the Palestinians was much worse then what they have in Israel (or Gaza).
AND MUSLIMS IN ISRAEL HAVE A LONGER LIFE EXPECTANCY THEN THOSE (possibly omitting the elite) in any Muslim country.
Ross says
I recently watched a video where the Israelis were sneaking into Jordan or Syria (brain fart) to bring wounded Jordanian soldiers back to Israeli hospitals to take care of their wounds. So far, they have helped 1500 Jordanian soldiers, who are their sworn enemy. I understand that Palestinians also take advantage of medical services provided by Israelis.
Still they have sworn to kill all Jews. “Imagine no religion”.
Oliver says
Jordan is one of the more civilized Muslim countries.
They have (or had) diplomatic relations with Israel.
By the way, Jordan did do Israel and Jews a favor a few decades ago, when they killed a few thousand Palestinians.
Oliver says
But, Ross, I agree. Israel should leave these bastards alone, and let them die.
Salah says
“…wounding at least 12 people before being shot by a passing prison officer…”
Why do honest citizens always have to wait for a “passing someone with gun”?
Because some stupid jihad enabler, somewhere in the government, have decided that honest citizens are not allowed to carry guns. They have no right to self-defense. They have to wait, and wait, and wait for a “passing someone with a gun.”
Again, gun control advocates have innocent blood on their hands. They are in bed with the enemy. I don’t care if they are stupid or complicit; the results are the same.
RonaldB says
Apropos to your comment, I found this very interesting article on gun control in Israel:
http://www.jpost.com/National-News/Israeli-gun-control-regulations-opposite-of-US
Much as I regret to say it, organized Jews in the US largely support strict gun control:
“There exists in the United States a powerful lobby that supports the right of any crook or any wife beater to buy almost any weapon at almost any time, no questions asked. It is, in effect, the criminals’ lobby, and it goes by the name of the National Rifle Association. Our only hope to save children’s lives is a take-no-prisoners, give-no-quarter campaign against the NRA.
There also exists a spineless Congress that for thirty years has disregarded the will of 80 percent of the American people. The pattern is always the same: after high profile killings, there is a blip of outrage from Capitol Hill and the passage of some minor gun restrictions. In the meantime, children continue to die unnoticed every day, and the gun traffickers soon learn to circumvent the new laws. What we need now is an end to tokenism and abject cowardice in Congress, and the passage of legislation that will make a significant dent in the easy availability of firearms.
And what is our task as Reform Jews?
First and foremost, we need to see the control of guns not as a political problem but as a solemn religious obligation. Our gun-flooded society has turned weapons into idols, and the worship of idols must be recognized for what it is—blasphemy. The only appropriate religious response to idolatry is sustained moral outrage.”

This is by the former president of the Union for Reform Judaism. If I attributed these sentiments to Jews in general, without attribution, I’d be labeled an anti-Semite.
Now, there are certain common-sense restrictions. It makes sense for a police background and mental health check on gun-owners. It makes sense for stringent controls on massively-destructive weapons, such as powerful semi-automatic rifles, or automatic weapons. A gun used for self-defense doesn’t need a large clip. I personally like the licensing required for concealed carry in Texas. It took me 3 months to get approved, but I got approved, and I have confidence that anyone legally carrying a concealed firearm in Texas is quite likely to be law-abiding. It gives us a bit of an edge over the bad guys.
It seems that in a society under siege, like Israel, would also have less-stringent gun controls, the theory being that a trade-off of some random shootings for security against systematic attacks like the one in the bus, would be worthwhile. Of course, the other side of the concealed carry law in Texas is that any shooting or display of weapons is rigorously investigated. A license to carry is NOT a license to shoot or intimidate.

I agree with your view that too many Jews support gun control ( and are liberals).
But the item- AS REFORM JEWS. Most Reform Jewish synagogues are dying. A friend, who is a Reform Jew ( and opposes gun control) had a Reform Jewish magazine that talked about the death of Reform Judaism.
I have some relatives who go to Reform synagogues, mainly- close to where they live. Their view- the people barely speak to one another; all cliques; etc.

At least keep political post political. Israel has occupied their homes and this is a political movement to get rid of Israel from their homeland. Jihad is not what you think it is!!!!
Perhaps you need a little bit of research at http://www.jihad.info huh,

There’s always one, isn’t it? One moron trying to justify attacks on innocent civilians as a “political movement to get rid of Israel from their homeland”. I don’t know what political movement endorses this kind of “political” tactics but it should be outlawed.
Also, what “homeland” are you talking about? Me thinks you’re hitting your head too hard when you pray.

“collapses.
Police identified the attacker as a 23-year-old Palestinian from Tulkarem in the northern West Bank, who was staying in Israel illegally
“————————————————
He was staying in Israel (illegally) and the international community still refuses to see why Israel wants to built a fence.

This is unbelievable. #JeSuisCouteau hashtag meaning ‘I am knife’ sweeps Twitter as muslims PRAISE Palestinian who stabbed 11 people on Israeli bus. Still the madness over the stupid cartoons. The madness will probably continue for another 1000 years.
