The truck, which has Israeli license plates stolen from a private vehicle, sped towards pedestrians waiting at a bus stop and hit them deliberately, police said.

The terrorist was shot and neutralized by several armed civilians and two soldiers who were on the scene.

 

Palestinian sources identified the terrorist as Fadi Ahmad Al-Qunbar, a released prisoner from Jabel Mukaber, a neighborhood in east Jerusalem that borders East Talpiot. IDF troops raided the terrorist's house shortly after the attack.

Eitan Rond, the tour guide of the group that was hit by the truck, claimed the soldiers at the scene were not quick to open fire at the terrorist because of the conviction of Sgt. Elor Azaria, who shot dead a neutralized terrorist in Hebron.

 

"I have no doubt this was part of the reason," he said. "Over the last two and a half weeks, soldiers were told in the army to be careful. It pains me to say this but some of the more serious injuries here were caused when the truck drove in reverse. A few seconds less of dawdling and perhaps the situation would've been better."

Israel is gonna launch a massive militiary operation against the Palestinians the day Trump takes office and Trump will issue a statement saying hes 100% behind Israel.

There are pictures on social media showing Palestinians celebrating the attack by handing out treats to children:

This forum is FULLLL of hypocrites.

When there's a thread about how Israel allegedly does something wrong to the palestinians the thread is filled with comments like:"Till when will they suffer" "Fuck Israel" and such.

But when shit like this happens? Silence.

Pretty much shows how ignorant the rest of the world is about this whole conflict.

 

May these 4 rest in piece.

Because Saudi cash buys Internet trolls, too - and they are even cheaper than Western politicians.

Most of the news titles in the first hours after the attack fail to deliver the events the way they should be presented. Foreign press strips terror attacks happening in Israel from the terror factor, making people think it's some regular collision, where people die on their own, not brutally murdered. They always forget to mention the culprit, or when they do, they never forget to use the rhetoric of occupation, to make the terror attack seem like Israel's fault. Just read the comments under the video of attack, very few expressing condolences or horror in the face of terror. Many gloat, blame it on Israel, justifying those attacks as the "only" means of resistance to their fictional demons. That's why people have absolutely distorted view on events, they get information full of bias. And if you actually present Israeli sources, they call it Hasbara or Zionist propaganda. It's a no-way street.

 

As I mentioned before, people are so poisoned with the same false narrative, that in the face of a clear terror attack that has no excuse, they are actually more concerned for the terrorist, blaming it on the victim. Hypocrisy, ignorance, and just pure lack of clear thinking, let alone selective memory.

Karma will get the sub-humans who celebrated the senseless murder of four young people who had their entire life ahead of them.
