While the official word has not yet been given, all signs point to a terrorist attack. The identity of the wounded terrorist has not been released at this time.

18:09 IL: According to preliminary information, all signs report to a terrorist attack involving the Jerusalem light rail. Two persons have been seriously injured and a baby girl sustained less serious injuries near the Ammunition Hill area of the capital.

  1. I believe the solution is to “kill all arabs”. That is not the Jewish way of looking at things. We must feel the pain of the Jewish mother and her children, and ask what was the message Hashem was sending us.

    When the three kedoshim were murdered, we dovened and united. Maybe that led to the discovery of the Hamas Murder Tunnels, and the Rosh Hashana massacre.

    Everything is hidden..hester panim

  2. Where is Susan Rice?! Still searching YouTube to see if any “insulting” video was put out by some Israeli?! Where is the Dufuss, Lurch Kerry?! Holding secret talks with Abbas as to how to stick it to the Israeli’s?! Where are our Organizations? Still haven’t gotten back from their “Apology tour”?! I’m sure Barry & Mr. Bunkhead are preparing a statement calling on all Israeli’s to prevent any “backlash” against the poor “innocent” persecuted Muslims.

  3. Ironic – Israeli doctors are working frantically to save the terrorists life, the convicted terrorist who has been released from Israeli prison twice as a “kind gesture” from Netanyahu has just undergone emergency surgery paid for by the Israeli government with the free health care that all Israeli Arabs enjoy.

  6. If they don’t shoot to kill these rats, they’ll continue to make our lives miserable. As long as the Israelis are tiptoeing around the arab rats, they’ll continue to do this. They must shoot to kill!! So they’ll shoot back? So they will!, We’re in a war and it’s about time the Israelis do what should be done!
