(IsraelNN.com) Alon Mizrachi, 22, one of the victims of the suicide bombing in Jerusalem last night, gave his life trying to prevent the attack. He was one of the café security guards.

Realizing that the Arab who entered the cafe was a terrorist, Alon jumped on him, trying to wrestle him to the ground. The Arab detonated himself on the spot. Alon’s heroic action prevented the terrorist from making it to the center of the packed cafe where his explosives would have caused even more death and destruction than they did in practice.

Mizrachi, a Border Guard reservist, was the sixth child in his family.

I just hope he wasn't profiling...

Israel raises such sons.....they are indeed a treasure
more than one alert Security Guard has given his life to jump on a Hamascide bomber forcing the killer to detonate himself before he has reached his target..saving countless lives
and giving up his own in the process
God bless such men and give comfort to their families...
And curse those who satanically conspire to murder and terrorize to get their way

One word:

Hero

[FreeAtlanta]

He is a hero and deserves true respect and honor. The pali scum, on the other hand, will now get a road named after it in the PA areas and will have billboards with it's face on it. If only the civilized world would make a stand. :-(

God Bless him...there to save lives while he tried to prevent a piece of human sewage from taking lives. How anyone can not tell right from wrong when it comes to this issue is beyond me.

[Alberta's Child]

Bump for an exceptional display of heroism.

[Mr. Silverback]

There is no greater love...

"The hero draws inspiration from the virtue of his ancestors."

We could all learn from the collective courage of the Israelis. I salute and honor this young man as the hero he is . . . but I give a standing ovation to the Israeli populace and say this -- don't fret about the politicians, the American people will never abandon you.

We remember The Six Day War. We remember Yom Kippur. We remember Entebbe. We remember your daily doses of heroism. We will never forsake you.

Amen
