Arab riots continue in the Shilo area after local Arabs attacked Jewish hikers resulting in one hiker stabbed and one Arab shot.

The hikers were attacked between the Arab village of Kursa and Jewish community of Esh Kodesh in the Shomron (Samaria).

The knifed hiker was reported to have in serious condition, while the Arab who was shot died of his wounds after evacuation by a Red Crescent amublance. Esh Kodesh residents said that a group of Jewish hikers who arrived this morning to camp in area adjacent to Shilo and Esh Kodesh were attacked by a group of Arabs from nearby Kusra. The Arabs pressed a knife to the throat of one of them.

At that point another hiker fired shots in the air, and the knifer released the injured Jew. The hikers then retreated to Esh Kodesh. Within moments, a large mob of Arabs from the village came to Esh Kodesh and began to set fires in the community's vineyards.

Jewish residents raced to the site and a running battle began between the two sides. The Arabs threw stones and the IDF arrived on the scene. According to Esh Kodesh residents, IDF soldiers arriving on the scene did not have sufficient numbers to stop the riot and had to wait until members of the Yassam riot police arrived on the scene - at which point four Jews, rather than Arabs, were first taken into custody as the Arabs continued to throw stones at residents and soldiers. Three of the detainees were released right away, but one, a resident of Esh Kodesh, was taken to the Binyamin region police headquarters. Attorneys from the Honenu legal aid association are attempting to secure his release.

Tsk tsk. The Jooos! brought a gun to a knife fight.

The crusades were not as bad an idea as they are portrayed

...the Arab who was shot died of his wounds after evacuation by a Red Crescent amublance

Betcha an Israeli ambulance arrived first, and the idiot refused to accept it, waiting for the slow-to-arrive "Red Crescent" [i.e., Muslim] ambulance.

[agere_contra]

Be fair: these dual-use vehicles can be a pain. They had to unload the mortar shells from the back of the ambulance first.

[sjmjax]

waiting for the slow-to-arrive "Red Crescent

Yeah, that's a problem. They have to take the car bomb out first to make room for the patient.

What is it with hikers?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Or the Ay-Rabb brought a knife to a gunfight.

I suppose the country lying between Corinth and Pittsburg Landing could boast a few inhabitants other than alligators. What manner of people they were it is impossible to say, inasmuch as the fighting dispersed, or possibly exterminated them; perhaps in merely classing them as non-saurian I shall describe them with sufficient particularity and at the same time avert from myself the natural suspicion attaching to a writer who points out to persons who do not know him the peculiarities of persons whom he does not know. One thing, however, I hope I may without offense affirm of these swamp-dwellers - they were pious. To what deity their veneration was given - whether, like the Egyptians, they worshiped the crocodile, or, like other Americans, adored themselves, I do not presume to guess. But whoever, or whatever, may have been the divinity whose ends they shaped, unto Him, or It, they had builded a temple. This humble edifice, centrally situated in the heart of a solitude, and conveniently accessible to the supersylvan crow, had been christened Shiloh Chapel, whence the name of the battle. The fact of a Christian church - assuming it to have been a Christian church - giving name to a wholesale cutting of Christian throats by Christian hands need not be dwelt on here; the frequency of its recurrence in the history of our species has somewhat abated the moral interest that would otherwise attach to it

Someone is stabbed 8,000 mile away, and this is breaking new?

[massgopguy]

“Pittsburg Landing”. Good one.

[Shimmer1]

As a matter of fact, it IS breaking news.

[WayneS]

I did not know there were that many Arabs in Mississippi... or very many Jews either, for that matter.

[gettinolder]

Good news article and relevant for our times.

Thanks for the post.

The Middle East will be having a profound effect on us all very shortly, I think.

[Uncle Miltie]

The Crusades were primarily just a counterattack against Imperialist Islam.

[dragnet2]

Good luck with that. I personally and sick and tired of hearing about all their religious squabbles and how much they all hate each other. It’s become tiresome and very pathetic.

[Genoa]

It’s become tiresome and very pathetic.

So is taking a half hour to gas up.

[treetopsandroofs]

1998, eh?

Looks like you really really hate Perry and have a lot to talk down to FR about.

Who are you supporting next year?

[JoyjoyfromNJ]

for your review & possible ping.

PS ignore the postings by dragnet 2; trolls are so very annoying

Know what the primary difference between Judaeo-Christian values and Muslim values is? Muslims absolutely WILL NOT allow people to live and let live. They believe it is their duty to their false god to FORCE everyone to convert to Islam or to murder them. And since they know Jews and Christians will not convert, they are happy to murder them.
