Palestinian youths stab cab driver in Be'er Sheva

[Gimel]

A taxi driver was stabbed Thursday in Be'er Sheva by two Palestinian youths. He was taken to the southern city's Soroka Hospital with moderate-to-serious injuries.

Be'er Sheva police, who believe the motive behind the stabbing was nationalistic, said the two youths had originally planned to carry out a shooting attack after a stealing soldier's gun.

1. Lock the criminals up.

Palastinian barbarism is not going to work.

2. Not a good deal for this driver.

He shouldn't be made to pay for the sins of his government.

3. Quite sad

these two were not found out and eliminated before the attack. Yet, we would have heard wailing about murdered children!

4. Then why not kill all the Paelstinian children

...before they kill?

Hey how do we know the driver wasn't on his way to blow up a mosque?

6. My wish was

that their plot be discovered before they acted.

5. I'm curious....

...why didn't we hear you express similar sentiment on this thread:

9. This was a domestic skirmish

with no intention of murder. Quite different.

The story does seem strange. A cab driver attacked by dozens sustains only light wounds? Apparently he was not the victim of the vicious assault some might be led to believe.

8. They were apprehended

in the process of committing this crime of terror. A bystander shot his pistol in the air and held them until police arrived. If not for this, the cab driver might have been murdered.

This citizen vigilance is very commendable and heroic.
