2 Israelis killed in Tel Aviv stabbing attacks

[bemildred]

JERUSALEM (AP) -- A knife-wielding Palestinian fatally stabbed two Israeli men and wounded a third Israeli in a Tel Aviv office building on Thursday before being apprehended, police and witnesses said.

The attack was the latest in a two month outburst of assaults that Israel has struggled to contain. Much of the Israeli-Palestinian violence has been focused on the flashpoint West Bank city of Hebron, but Thursday's attack in the economic hub of Tel Aviv returned the unrest to the Israeli heartland.

According to police, the attack took place in southern Tel Aviv, in a shop on the second floor of an office building where a group of Israelis had gathered to hold afternoon prayers.

Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said one of the dead was in his 20s. Details about the second fatality's identity were not immediately known, but he died of his wounds in hospital, she said.

Obviously because Palestine.

Israel is doing something you don't like? Kill random Jews. Blame Bibi and rightwingers.

[azurnoir]

9. so you hold Palestinians guilty for the actions of ISIS ?

[shira]

10. I'm saying Jihadi extremists killing Jews are Jihadi extremists....

The asshole in Marseilles has no better reason for murdering a Jew than any Hamasnik.

[azurnoir]

12. so they are the same in your mind?

[shira]

16. Same bond that ties Jew hating Cossacks to Nazis....

They weren't the same, but they shared the same Jew hate. Neither had a better excuse than the other to kill Jews.

Understand now?

[azurnoir]

17. so Palestinians hate all Jews ?

there was also a Palestinian killed in these attacks yet yiu do not seem to care at all about that, why?

[shira]

18. You think all Palestinians are Jihadi extremists? I made myself clear. n/t

[azurnoir]

19. there was also a Palestinian victim of this terror attack yet you continue to ignore that , why?

is it that Palestinian lives do not matter?

[shira]

20. Yes, a Palestinian victim of a psychotic Jihadi. Just as much as victim as any Jewish victim.

And?

Sort of a whirlpool of violence and counter-violence, very reactive on all sides, so no end in sight.

Bibi seems to be in his element though, and nobody is paying much attention to him.

Not encouraging at all.

6. Yea, he worries me too...opportunist that he is, not a good recipe. n/t

Three Israelis killed in Tel Aviv and West Bank attacks

In the first attack, two Israelis were stabbed to death by a Palestinian man at the entrance of a shop that serves as a synagogue in the city of Tel Aviv.

Hours later, a shooting and vehicle attack near the Gush Etzion settlement bloc left another person dead.

A wave of violence over the past two months has claimed the lives of 15 Israelis and dozens of Palestinians.

7. 18 year old American killed by Palestinian terrorist today.

8. Is this incitement?

The militant Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas posted a tweet praising "the heroic attack in Tel Aviv", adding: "We ask the fighters to keep doing so."

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-34868651

Anyone smell a little ISIS scent on Hamas?

[geek tragedy]

11. No, we smell Hamas on Hamas.

Hamas's record is horrific enough (Seder dinner massacres, etc) without needing to embellish it.

[leftynyc]

21. Looks like incitement to me

But I'm sure I'm considered just an Islamophobe and hater so what do I know.

14. Palestinian attacks in Tel Aviv and West Bank leave 5 dead

Jerusalem — A pair of stabbing and shooting attacks carried out by Palestinians killed three Israelis, a Palestinian, and an American teenager on Thursday in one of the deadliest days in a recent outburst of Israeli-Palestinian violence.

The attacks are part of a wave of violence that erupted in mid-September over tensions surrounding a Jerusalem holy site sacred to Jews and Muslims. Palestinians accuse Israel of plotting to take over the hilltop compound known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary, something Israel denies.

The Palestinians say the violence is rooted in frustration at decades of living under Israeli occupation. Israel accuses Palestinian leaders of inciting the unrest.
