Terrorist rams tractor into police car, bus in Jerusalem
Haaretz ^ | 03 05 2009 | drzz

Terror returned to Jerusalem on Thursday afternoon, when a tractor driver overturned into a police car and rammed into a bus, before he was shot by police and a taxi driver at the scene. The incident took place a little after 1 P.M. near the popular Malkha shopping mall, on Menachem Begin Boulevard, in southern Jerusalem. An eye-witness, Shuli Cohen, told Israel Radio that the driver had used the tractor's front blade to flip the police car. The two officers inside were lightly hurt, Israel Police said. Advertisement Witnesses described a harrowing site of tractor speeding along the highway, dragging the police car and sending it flying into the air. The cabbie, identified as Dor, told Israel Radio that he chased the driver as he witnessed the attack. "I saw the police car fly into the air. He flipped it over twice, then continued dragging it toward a bus that was stuck in traffic," he said.

My wife and I never take the busses or do much public stuff like eating out when the politicians for Peace are in town. The terrorists always attack then.

They may yell peace, peace, but there is no peace. God says be aware of those times.

They still haven't banned Arabs from construction jobs in Jerusalem. After two deadly incidents, you'd think they'd learn. Its a miracle no one was killed today.

I like the fact that this story ended with a policeman emptying a magazine of 5.56mm into the bast**d.

I wonder if the perp had a mortgage on his soon-to-be-demolished dump.

Never fear. If his family gets homeless, they can be reimbursed out of the $900 million Obamunificent is shipping to the terrorists in the Gaza Strip.

google news confirms my hypothesis.

“MIDDLE EAST: JERUSALEM, POLICE CAR BULLDOZER ATTACK, 1 DEAD”: MSM source

Other misleading headlines include:
“Digger driver shot in Jerusalem” <— BBC
“Driver Shot Dead After Rampage in Jerusalem” <— NYT

They need to ban moslems from Jerusalem, period. (”Arab” is not the term to use. Christian and Druze Arabs pose no threat to Israel.)

It’s hardly surprising at this point, but still, I have to say it. Wow.

Nobody noted that “the cabbie also shot at the terrorist too”

A good deal of the Israeli populous is armed, 24/7.

. . . before he was shot by police and a taxi driver at the scene.

And a taxi driver? Hmmmm. Perhaps arming taxi drivers in this country is an idea whose time has come.

“Perhaps arming taxi drivers in this country is an idea whose time has come.”

I know this will be taken as prejudicial but I’d not recommend this action given that many, if not most, taxi drivers in major cities are of the “peaceful religion”. Google taxi drivers at the Minneapolis (?) airport who refused passengers carrying alcoholic beverages.

Sorry to say Christian Arabs are part of the problem - Suha Arafat, Hanan Ashrawi. Many voted for Hamas.

I like Walid Shoebat.

Otherwise though yeah I’d have to agree. It’s still just a cultural religion for many, like many a libtarded churchgoer in the US. It’s possible there are many spirit-filled believers among them, but how would we know?

“prejudicial”

Not at all. If they believe the kooran, they believe in (a) killing you or (b) converting you to islam.

They’re the “prejudiced” ones by any reason, damnit!
