Another bulldozer attack on Palestinian street
Toronto News.Net
Tuesday 22nd July, 2008
A Palestinian man has rammed a bulldozer into vehicles on a Jerusalem street.
The ramming incident is the second to occur over the past few weeks in Jerusalem.
The attacker wounded at least 16 people, one seriously.
A civilian opened fire on the bulldozer, which kept moving until police shot the driver dead.
The bulldozer attack occurred while Israeli President Shimon Peres was in talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas less than a kilometre away.
It was the first visit by a Palestinian president to Israel's official presidential residence.
The attack also took place close to the King David hotel, where US presidential candidate Barack Obama is staying during his visit to the city.
Mr Obama’s entourage had not booked in at the time of the incident.
Mr Obama later condemned the event by saying: "Today's bulldozer attack is a reminder of what Israelis have courageously lived with on a daily basis for far too long. I strongly condemn this attack and will always support Israel in confronting terrorism and pursuing lasting peace and security."
Israeli police identified the driver as Ghassan Abu Tair, a 22-year-old Palestinian from a village in an area of the occupied West Bank.
A bulldozer attack in Jerusalem on July 2 killed three Israelis.
Its Palestinian driver, a resident of Arab East Jerusalem, was shot dead by an off-duty soldier and police.

Getting it straight
Is your newpaper the Israel Herald or palestian herald. This was not a palestinian street. The person who performed the terrorist act was palestinian. Therefore they should kick him out of the country to some place like Jordan. And, Obama says what he knows jews want to hear. Another phoney politician.

Rubbish
Dear Yitzd. I am not a Palestinian terror supporter but you have a very short memory. Jews themselves bombed the Kind David hotel, remember? Jews practiced terrorrism by killed British soldiers, remember? Does Irgoun rings a bell, Does Shin Beth rings a bell. Terrorists or Freedom fighter? That is the question my dear friend. The answer; I wish I had one.

genocide is criminal
notice this call for aggressive racist genocide ,the call for the destuction of a people as “animals”
what civilised person would talk like this besides Rabbi Kahane ?
It is a crime against humanity to preach genocide in this hitlerite manner.
Calls for collective resposibility the punishment of a whole people for the crimes of an individual are typical of fascism and ilegal under civilised international law and in normal morality.

It is a Palestinian street, suck on that
"A civilian opened fire on the bulldozer, which kept moving until police shot the driver dead." BS.. i watched the shooting, he wasn’t driving, they shot him dead because they felt like it- typical of the “civilians” (and righteous army obviously)of such a barbarous, resentful, rip-off country like Israel.

notice the haters are all anonymous
gutless cowards who are only brave behind a computer screen.
The street King David Street is a Jewish street named for a Jewish King ironically it was done on the day Obama showed up here, I wonder what the connection was?
