The Islamic State in September 2014 exhorted Muslims: “Disperse those behind them wherever you may find them. Rig the roads with explosives for them. Attack their bases. Raid their homes. Cut off their heads. Do not let them feel secure. Hunt them wherever they may be. Turn their worldly life into fear and fire.”
This is not to say that this arsonist was motivated by the Islamic State, but only to illustrate the fact that arson can be and is a tool of the jihad.
“Report: Arab set Jerusalem building on fire,” Arutz Sheva, July 27, 2018:
Investigations of a fire which broke out in a Jerusalem motel Thursday night showed that the cause of the blaze was arson.
After it was clear that arson had caused the fire, Israel Police began searching the area, blocking the center of the city.
They later found and arrested an Arab-Israeli suspect from one of Jerusalem’s Arab neighborhoods….
The fire injured eight people, including a man, woman, their 14-year-old daughter, and their 9-year-old son. The four, who suffered from smoke inhalation and burns, were taken to Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Hospital, with the father’s condition deemed very serious and the others’ serious.
A fifth victim was taken to Hadassah Ein Kerem and treated for shock. Three others were treated at the scene by Magen David Adom paramedics.

Before anyone jumps down Robert’s throat “HE DID NOT SAY IT WAS A MUSLIM ATTACK”
PATRICIA FRANCES KOENIG says
The problem is: it was a Muslim attack.
Mary says
We don’t know that for sure. You are assuming something Robert wouldn’t do.

There is the slightest possibility that this was a Christian Arab–damned unlikely, though.
Mary says
True Graven but there is someone who is on this site ( I think that you know who I mean) who would slander Robert.

True., Mary.

Koran 8.60 “Turhibunna”. (terrorise them)
somehistory says
Fire seems to be the current weapon of choice for the demonic sons.
Lobbing fire kites and balloons, setting forests on fire in one country and state after another, and now motels and hotels.
Despicable creatures controlled by satan the devil, expressing his “anger” at all who do not worship him.
