Jews have been targeted in attacks of this kind many times, but not in the United States. In Israel in 2018, a Muslim murdered two people and injured three more in a vehicular jihad attack. And there have been many others. A billboard in Nazareth actually called for attacks of this kind. “Moderate” Fatah also called for such attacks. And the Islamic State issued this call in September 2014:
So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be….If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. 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….
“Car Ramming Attack Attempted at LA Synagogue Sukkot Concert, Says Security Group,” by Sharon Wrobel, Algemeiner, September 23, 2021:
A Jewish congregation in Los Angeles was left in shock on Wednesday night after a man reportedly attempted to ram into a crowd of people as they were attending a Sukkot holiday concert.
According to Magen Am, a non-profit that provides security to Jewish institutions, the attacker allegedly accelerated down a one-way alley into a crowd of women and children as the concert at LA’s Shaarei Tefila synagogue was coming to an end.
The crowd of about 20 to 30 managed to jump out of the path of the vehicle before the assailant stopped short in front of a metal gate, yelled “f**k the Jews” and left, the group said.
The group also said that about 20 minutes prior, the man had “canvassed” the event and issued threats, saying, “I’m a real Muslim, I’ll show you what real terrorism looks like.”…
A victim of a possible assault with a deadly weapon declined to sign a report, the LAPD said.
A Magen Am security officer told The Algemeiner that the alleged assailant had first approached the synagogue, asking about the event, and soon after started making antisemitic insults and threats. After getting into an argument with another congregant who was reacting to the man’s remarks, the assailant threatened the Magen Am security officer, before ultimately being ushered away.
About 20 minutes later he returned and attempted to hit the group of concert-goers, the volunteer security group said….

Mainstream news will probably make nothing of this and/or distort the facts.
Egor says
They will not report on it. We all know this is going to happen more and more. We shall be told they have mental problems , and on that I can not disagree. Anyone tied into this cult, and it is a cult, have mental problems.
BTeboe says
Looks like these people need to hire some private security to take out the threat.
David says
In my book, having mental problems is not ‘get out of jail free’ card. he should have been arrested after his threats, not ushered away.
maria says
He should be arrested and executed

The cult of Hamas comes out of the cultish writings of Mufti Hajj Amin al-Husseini an uncle of Yasser Arafat. The 1988 Covenant of Hamas (Article 15) says, “It is necessary to establish in the minds of all the Muslim generations that the Palestinian issue is a religious issue and it must be dealt with as such.” The article states that the ‘Liberation of Palestine is a Religious Duty’.
Any Muslim immersing himself in Hamas literature will be convinced that he has a persona duty to take violent action against Jews in order to return the Holy Land under Islamic rulers of some sort.
In Sharia law, there is no distinction between the secular state and Islam. The Muslim ruler imposes Sharia law on all subjects of the Islamic state, since Sharia is the ideal constitution.
As long as Muslims believe that Sharia law MUST be imposed over Israel, this struggle will continue. The way out is to convince Muslims that the Koran is of human origin.
Infidel says
He is right: he is a real muslim

What a crummy news report! A motorist tries to run over people, and nobody saw his license plate number? There is nothing here about the type of “vehicle” or its license plate. Nor is there even a statement that nobody saw his license plate.
