A 25 year old Muslim terrorist stabbed a Jew outside of Damascus Gate in Jerusalem towards the end of Shabbat. Headline news first reported how Israeli forces killed an innocent “Palestinian” Arab, even though video footage clearly shows the truth.
The Jewish man stabbed is seriously injured. The IDF border police shot and killed the terrorist. Arab and leftist Knesset members are calling for the investigation of the soldiers for shooting the terrorist as he was on the ground. Anyone who supports that immoral position is a menace to society, supporting murdering terrorists. As the Torah teaches us, those who pity the wicked are wicked towards those who deserve pity. We are all praying for today’s stabbing victim.
Damascus Gate has often been the focus of Arab terror stabbings either against security forces or civilians. For those Jerusalem residents walking to the Kotel from Jewish neighborhoods, Damascus Gate is the most efficient way to reach the Kotel.
