Last October the Islamic State issued this call to Muslims in the West: “If you are not able to find an IED [improvised explosive device] or a bullet … smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him. If you are unable to do so, then burn his home, car or business. Or destroy his crops.”
“Terrorist who ran down 4 Border Police officers, civilian, sentenced to 25 years in prison,” by Daniel K. Eisenbud, Jerusalem Post, July 12, 2015:
In plea bargain, Mohammad Salima [sic], 22, of east Jerusalem, confesses to 5 counts of attempted murder, ordered to pay NIS 260,000.
Arab terrorist Mohammed Salaimeh, of east Jerusalem, was convicted on Sunday at Jerusalem Magistrate’s District Court of five counts of attempted murder for ramming his car into four female Border Police officers and a male civilian in the capital last March.
As part of a plea bargain, the court sentenced Salaimeh, 22, to 25 years in prison, and to pay NIS 260,000 for the damages incurred by the attack. It remains unclear how, or to whom, the money will be allocated.
On March 6, Salaimeh drove his vehicle into the group – lightly-to-moderately wounding all five – before being shot twice upon exiting the car wielding a large meat cleaver in an attempt to attack more victims.
The morning Purim attack took place outside the capital’s Border Police headquarters.
After being treated at an area hospital, Salaimeh, who resides in the Arab neighborhood of Ras el-Amud, confessed that the attack was premeditated, and intended to kill as many Jews as possible.
Following the attack, Hamas’s spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri posted a statement on his Facebook page lauding the terrorist, but did not claim responsibility.
“The Hamas movement blesses this historic act and considers it a natural response to the occupation’s crimes,” wrote Zuhri….
hocus pocus says
why cant we just be issuing the death penalty for jihadists
Ed says
Yes, and on the spot!
Carlos Danger says
Exactly ……this pos will probably end up being swapped for kidnapped Israelis.
Mahendra Singh says
Because Israel does not have the death penalty, perhaps as a sensitivity
towards the holocaust. The only exception that I know was for a holocaust criminal
Adolf Eichmann, who was executed in the early sixties.
Ed says
This is 70 years later and a very different enemy.
Ed says
25 years at Israel’s expense. That is a 2nd side of this act of jihad, an economic jihad.
He should have gotten 25 minutes to bleed to death and meet his maker.
Jihad is war, he is a soldier of the enemy engaged in combat to kill and destroy infidels. Any resistance from infidels should and must be in combat.
In combat, you don’t capture, cure and put to trial. convict and incarcerate each soldier. There simply is not enough time and money to do this. Any one with a gun, ax, car, or plane can quickly and inexpensively attack, and you must stop them quickly, effectively, and efficiently.

How much will his family get from Hamas and the PA?

Don’t worry about them, the EU will make sure their pensions are covered.
David, Thailand says
He just needs to hang on, for the next thousand terrorists released in exchange for one Jew.
Huck Folder says
A square, street, building or sports league,
named in ‘honor’ of Mohammed Salaimeh,

Charli Main says
I see the ” great Jahadi Muslim warriors of Islam ” attacking women and unarmed civilians again !!!!!!!
Why if the ” great Muslim warriors of Islam ” had the chance to run children over they would really be in their element.
Jay L. Stern says
See? This convicted terrorist should be castrated prior to incarceration. And the procedure needs to be performed by a female doctor. There will be LOTS fewer attacks and – it is a certainty – this terrorist will breed no more!
Steph says
The loosers here are the Border guards under those circumstances why on earth would you NOT shoot to kill
nicu says
They want sharia !
Give HIM sharia !
