Copycat Terror Attack in Jerusalem

What a stunner, another bulldozer attack. Who could have foreseen such an unusual turn of events? I mean, the last terrorist who murdered Jews in Jerusalem was, thank G-d, shot down like the dog he was. But his family is now getting generous welfare and death benefits from the Jewish State.
And Israel just swapped another dog of a terrorist for two corpses.
The message to the terrorists is clear: it pays to kill Jews.
Hey, I have an idea, how about dividing Jerusalem and handing sovereignty to the peace loving terrorists?
Also: how about hiring Jews on construction sites?
I know, that's , ahem, discriminatory.
In fact, when you're at war with a terrorist society, so-called Palestinians, it's just common sense.
Eleven people were wounded, one of them moderately, as a bulldozer driver went on a rampage in central Jerusalem Tuesday afternoon in an apparent attempt to recreate the terror attack in the capital a few weeks ago.
The vehicle reportedly left a construction site near Yemin Moshe neighborhood and set off towards Liberty Bell Park (Gan Hapa'amon), near the corner of Keren Hayesod and King David streets. It attempted to overturn a bus and then crashed into several vehicles, flipping one of them over.
The wounded were evacuated to hospitals in the capital.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said police sealed off possible escape routes into east Jerusalem and were searching for two suspects who fled the scene.
The attack took place in a busy part of downtown Jerusalem, several hundred meters from the luxury hotel where US presidential candidate Barack Obama is supposed to stay Tuesday night as he kicks off a visit to Israel.

Killing the terrorist

The bulldozer used in the Jerusalem terror attack. Notice the bullet holes in the glass.
Fine shooting by an armed Israeli civilian and border guard killed the Arab-Muslim terrorist.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
I'm surprised the Palestinians haven't tried the 'Twinkie defense' yet.

Maybe I shouldn't give them ideas.

Alice:
Why bother with the Twinkie defense when they can blame Jews for their dysfunctional society, and get away with it.
Besides, they are proud of their terrorist acts and culture. They say so every day in their media, and teach it in their schools.
Killing Jews is oxygen to the Arab Muslim world.
