NYC mayor visits Ashkelon, expresses his support for Israel
Published: 01.04.09, 11:39 / Israel News

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg arrived in the rocket-stricken city of Ashkelon and said that “if I were the State of Israel, I would do anything to defend my residents, and they would expect nothing less.”

Congressman Gary Ackerman said that New York’s residents supported Israel. Attacking Israel with missiles for years is like telling a woman who is raped that she can’t defend herself, he added. (Avi Cohen)

“Dane held for ‘shooting Israelis’”

SNIPPET: “A Danish man of Palestinian origin has been arrested on suspicion of shooting and wounding two Israeli salesmen at a shopping centre in Odense in Denmark.

Police said they were unsure what the motive was, but Danish media have speculated it may have been a protest against Israeli air raids in Gaza.
The 27-year-old suspect turned himself in.”

“2 Israelis wounded in Denmark shooting”
By JPOST.COM STAFF AND AP

SNIPPET: “The Foreign Ministry said Israeli security services abroad had already been put on high alert several days ago.

Police spokesman Lars Thede said it was not immediately clear whether the Israelis were targeted because of their nationality. A video surveillance camera showed a swarthy man with a dark mustache and dark hair in his mid-20s pulling out a gun before opening fire.

“We cannot say whether he is Palestinian, Iraqi, Iranian or Bosnian, or where he is from,” Thede said.

“It is too early to say whether this has something to do with what happens elsewhere,” he said, referring to the Gaza operation.”

SNIPPET: “The men, who were selling hair care products, had been harassed by a group of youths in recent days, Denmark’s Ritzau news agency said. The nature of the harassment was not immediately known. According to the B.T. newspaper’s Web site, a man shouted something in a Middle Eastern language and opened fire. Another Israeli inside the hairdressing shop threw a chair at the gunman, the newspaper said.”
