Major Christian Broadcasting Studio In Jerusalem Destroyed in Arson Attack
Breaking Israel News ^ | 05/22/2019 | Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz

In the early hours of Saturday morning, an arsonist attacked the Jerusalem studio of Daystar, destroying their studio.

At the time of the attack, the studio, located in the Arab neighborhood of Abu Tor overlooking the Temple Mount, was in the midst of extensive renovations being carried out by Sharett Contracting. Dave Sharett, the owner of the construction company, described the devastation to Chris Mitchell of CBN News.

“The control room I would say is probably totally devastated,” Dave Sharett, the contractor overseeing the renovations told CBN News. “The controls actually start here with the electric panel, the main electric panel and anything plastic is totally melted.”

A security camera filmed a large flash at around 2:15 followed by a man exiting the apartment onto the balcony. The man then used a rope to descend to the ground after which he fled into the ravine leading away from the city.

Actually, police have two theories/leads:

from WND:

He indicated police have two working theories concerning possible motivation.

The first is the firebombing was religiously motivated since “the TV station is Christian and it’s Ramadan, and Muslims are upset and blah, blah, blah,” he told the Post.

The other scenario involves an Arab worker at an adjacent studio who in recent days became upset with some of Daystar’s employees. That employee has not returned to work since the blaze, Sharett said.

“We’ll find the truth,” he said.

“I believe that God has a reason and a purpose and at the very least he’ll redeem what has happened here. So, these ashes will raise up, be raised up and proclaim the glory of God,” Sharett told CBN.

Could have just as easily been radical Jews but they’ll still blame it on the Arabs

Yes, ‘radical Jews’ engage in terrorism, about 0.000000001 percent of the time.
In the other 99.9999999 percent of terrorism, its the Religion of Peaceniks

(the original Big Lie program..Muslims calling themselves the Religion of Peace, my Lord what audacity!...nerve! chutzpah! .... Goebbels would be proud!)

ps:
another difference....
on those extremely rare occasions when a religious Jew does it, he’s Punished
whereas all the Muslim terrorist gangsters are paid and rewarded with bonus money, given awards and honors for murdering innocent people
just ask Abbas/PLO...he pays millions and millions of dollars to his terrorist bombers .. and its mostly foreign (USA, etc) aid money

Or it could have been a false flag operation by Christians to generate sympathy in the face of complaints from both Arabs and Israelis that Christians are trying to convert them.
