An Arab teen stabbed two Jews in Jerusalem's Old City Wednesday night, seriously wounding one of them, in a terror-related attack, police said.

The assailant then fled the scene.

The two victims of the stabbing attack were rushed by Magen David Adom paramedics to Hadassah University Hospital at Ein Kerem.

The 8:30 p.m. attack took place on David Street in the Jewish Quarter.

According to an initial police investigation of the incident, a Jewish teen who was stabbed while walking outside made his way to a nearby police station to report the attack.

Police officers who rushed to the scene found a second more seriously wounded victim lying on the ground.

A manhunt was underway for the Arab attacker.

Of course they will! How can you doubt the dedication to truth and fairness championed by our benevolent overlords?

You are likely right. But the world is focussed on Israel. Why? Because Israel is the excuse Muslims give for their failure to modernize (and to be fair, it takes up a vast amount of time, effort, and resources that could otherwise be used to modernize); it just makes them so ragefilled. Because they need to destroy it if they want to restore the Caliphate. Because it galls them to see Muslims living under democratic and/or Jewish rule right next to Muslim countries. Because the Koran says the Jews should be killed, etc.

Christians and Jews focus on it because it's the promised land, the land that G-d gave to the Hebrews, and home to many of the holiest sites in these two respective religions.

Americans focus on it because it's their only real toehold in the middle east, and the only real democracy in the region besides Turkey and the only modern country, etc. etc.

Europeans focus in on it because they hate America, and also Israel used to be a European protection/protege, until they started winning wars themselves (France used to be Israel's biggest supporter, and biggest arms supplier).

The Chinese and Russians focus in on it because they want to know what the hell everyone else is so interested in. Besides, the more people talk about what's going on in Israel, the less they talk about what's going on in China and Russia.

Lefties focus in on it because they see an apartheid situation with a potential for a lefty political victory and because big ol' lefties helped found it and kept it running for decades. and because it has the only form of communism ever to even come close to thriving in the form of kibbutzes (though they aren't doing all that well nowadays, with all the young 'uns moving off).

Righties focus in on it because it's the home of holy sites, a functioning Middle eastern democracy, home of friends and sometimes family, because noone else sticks up for it, because they see it's history as somewhat similar to their own country's history (especially in America, with some good reasons), because it pisses off the lefties, because they see its fate as possibly being America's fate one day, because they see it as the frontlines in the war against terrorism.

I could go on but yeah....

THe world is looking on into a country that is not quite 2/3 the size of Vancouver Island.

Of course, the forces of darkness lose, in the end. Jews and Christians survive. The Messiah comes. All proclaim the glory of the Lorrd, and adopt righteous, moral ways. The good guys win, and then G-d's kingdom comes to earth. ;) And everything is perfect.

The feeling on the "Arab Street" these days.


The text reads:“Our Qur'an was right and your Talmud lied."

Hey, I'm Jewish! I'll wait for the Messiah with you, and fight with the good guys, but the first thing I'm asking him is whether he's been here before. If he has, I'll admit I was wrong. But if he hasn't...man am I going to rub it in your face. Well, I won't. But you'll owe me a beer.

And yeah, 50%. Yikes. Still, we'll just keep marchin' on and see what happens.

Beliefs like the ones we share in a brighter future and G-d's kingdom come to earth is what helps to move Western civilization forward to a brighter tomorrow, inspire us to do great works and deeds, and help us improve our communities. And I'm sure all conservatives (or at least almost all) have a belief in a possible, better tomorrow, whether they believe in G-d or not. We won't let the terrorists define how we will live our lives. That's what this war is all about.

We have a right to self-determination. We have a right to freedom. We have the right to defend our rights and our freedoms and fight for our dreams. That's what being a conservative is all about.

That picture really pisses me off. Of course, it makes me feel better to reflect that those mocking bastards live in slums, hellholes and hovels and the horrible world they live in is entirely of their own making. If they loved their children more than they hated Jews and Christians, their own lives wouldn't be so bad.

Pepsi all the way. ;)

And despite what the liberal Jews say, we're with you to the end. We know who our real friends are, and who are friends with us in good times, out of political correctness.

And, many liberal Jews are Republicans. They just don't know it yet. ;) I suspect though that their awakening shall be traumatic, to say the least.
