Suspect arrested for assault on Jerusalem nun
Arutz Sheva ^ | 2/5/26 | Nisan Tsur

A violent assault on a French Catholic nun in East Jerusalem has drawn international condemnation after footage of the incident circulated widely online.

The attack took place on Mount Zion and was captured on video, which shows a man approaching the nun from behind before shoving her forcefully to the ground. Her head struck the pavement, narrowly missing a large stone nearby. Moments later, the attacker returned and kicked the nun while she was still lying on the ground.

A passerby eventually intervened and confronted the suspect, who reportedly attempted to attack him as well.

The victim, a French nun and archaeology researcher based in Jerusalem, sustained light injuries in the assault.

Israel Police announced that officers arrested a 36-year-old suspect in connection with the attack. Authorities said the incident is being investigated as an apparently racially motivated assault.

In a statement, police said they would continue to act “with a heavy hand and zero tolerance" to protect all communities and religious groups in Jerusalem.

The video quickly spread internationally, prompting widespread outrage, particularly among Christian organizations and leaders.

Assault without provocation is a crime. Don’t care who did it.
Arrest, charge and convict.
Period.

Leaving wide open space for the “I’m the Victims Grifters” to blame each other.
Pathetic.

With provocation this would still be a crime. Imagine if that little nun had gotten into a boxing stand and challenged him. It would still be excessive force. Sick bass turd.

Not a good grindhouse movie but the idea had merit.

Nude Nuns With Big Guns.
No nudity in this set of images. Don’t worry.

Spoiler—snubbed by the Academy Awards board. Typical.

“A violent assault on a French Catholic nun in East Jerusalem has drawn international condemnation after footage of the incident circulated widely online.” I doubt it was another French Catholic nun.

Could be. But he runs like a spaz. I think a Muzzie bent on a false flag op would have some athletic ability.

Maybe not. You might be jumping to conclusions because Palestinians have dressed up like Hasids in suicide attacks. I don’t like anyone to jump to conclusions until they definitely say it was. Now I have had run-ins with Mea Sherim folks, so I can’t rule it out either. I was wife was nearly attached with a Lulav once.

At this point, this doesn't mean he represents anyone other than himself. There are lot of sick people in this world.

There are a lot of sick people right here on FR.

I don’t trust the media, especially Israeli. We had dealings with some JP Reporters and and thought they were real scumbags.

There we go. 👍
As I posted earlier. “I’m the Victims Grifters” to blame each other.
The wheels on the bus go round and round.

All the Jew/Israel hatred being spewed from so-called Christians these days, perhaps the Israelis are getting a little bit tired of being the world’s scapegoats?

Brutalizing a nun doesn’t help Jews or Israel and has literally Zero justification.
