1 Dead, 4 Injured in Knife Attack in Israel

Haifa, Israel -- One person is dead and four others were injured on Monday when a 20-year-old Druze Israeli began stabbing people at a central transit hub.

The Times of Israel reported that the killer suffered from mental illness [known as anti-Semitism evidently] the family said.

The knife attack is being treated as a “militant attack,” according to Fox News. Fortunately, a security guard and an unarmed civilian killed the attacker as the Mayor of Boston sent out her heart felt condolences to his family. It was reported that the attacker had recently returned to Israel after spending time abroad.

“My wife Sara and I extend our deepest condolences to the family of the victim of the horrific terrorist attack in Haifa, and we send our wishes for a speedy recovery to the injured,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement after the attack. “We will continue to fight those who seek to harm us – wherever they are – and we will defeat them.”

The sole casualty was a 70-year-old man who was stabbed in the back multiple times, the Times reported. Hassan Karim Dahamsheh was a resident of the Arab town of Kafr Kanna in Israel. In addition, a 15-year-old boy was stabbed and is in stable condition while a woman in her 70s and a man and woman in their 30s were also stabbed but were hospitalized with less serious wounds.

An eyewitness told a local outlet that the 20-year-old got off a bus from Shfar’am and shouted “Allahu Akbar” [Allah is greater] and began attacking people around him with a knife. 

Israel Police Chief Daniel Levy said police were working to confirm that the attacker acted alone, the Times reported. The outlet also noted that police raided the suspect’s home and were questioning his family who claimed their son was mentally ill, which naturally takes the onus off them. 

Shfar’am Mayor Nahad Hazem told the Kan public broadcaster that two of the five victims were from his city and that one was a relative of his office director.

“It is a heinous crime, and I completely condemn it,” he told the outlet.

The killer’s relatives denied that he was a terrorist, saying he had a mental illness and asked that they try not to think about the "Allahu Akbar" shouting.

“I am a disabled IDF veteran and his other uncle is a reserve soldier. We have nothing in our family hostile to the state,” his uncle Roni Kharis reportedly told Ynet.

The Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, whose motto is, "Killing Jews is how we roll," praised the attack but did not take credit for it.

As the Times reported, the stabbing was the latest “in a string of terror attacks targeting public transportation in Israel, after a ramming attack at a bus stop on Thursday and a series of botched bus bombings near Tel Aviv a week earlier.” The botched bombings were due to the terrorist's inability to distinguish a.m. from p.m.

Iran threatens to attack Tel Aviv and Haifa with suicide drones

The brand spanking new Iranian "Arash 2" suicide drone was specifically designed to attack Tel Aviv and Haifa because that's how Iranians roll when it comes to "those Jews." 

The drone has unique capabilities to target the two Israeli cities, according to Brig. Gen. Kioomars Heidari, Commander of Iran's Army Ground Force who spoke on Iranian TV.

Heidari spoke Sunday night following a military drill and discussed the attack drone arsenal and revealed the Islamic Republic has drones “with a strategic range and also a drone with a range of 2,000 kilometers. Of course, we also have drones with lower ranges in our stockpiles.”

He noted that the Arash 2 drone was specially designed for attacking Haifa and Tel Aviv, and that it is “a unique drone made for that purpose and awaits the command to start operation.”

Israeli military leaders were not impressed nor frightened by his braggadocio.

Iran has been working in recent years to develop its domestic production capabilities of a broad array of missiles and attack drones while the US president sits back and picks lint from his naval and wonders where he is sitting and picking.

Iran claims the Arash 2, unveiled in December 2019, has a range of about two 2,000 kilometers, putting Israel in its crosshairs, and becoming the longest-range suicide drone in the world. It is designed as a suicide and anti-radar drone and if you think that's bad, they are also secretly developing a nuclear weapon. I don't know that as fact, but if you don't think they are, you might think Joe Biden is a secret genius.

Israel announced in March 2021 that the Iron Dome defense system has been upgraded and can now contend with drone threats as well. So if Iran tries to drone the Jewish State, they may be surprised at the response they get from "those Jews."

Israel on fire--not an accident

Haifa, Israel -- Tens of thousands of Israelis are being evacuated from their homes as wildfires rage in various parts of Haifa, with a population of about 300,000. The fires are also threatening homes near Jerusalem and the West Bank.

One minister said that about half of the fires were "apparently arson," but this has not been confirmed by law enforcement.

No deaths or serious injuries have been reported but the national ambulance service say about 35 people have been treated for smoke inhalation as hundreds of military reservists have been activated to help fight the three-day outbreak.

Schools, kindergartens, retirement homes and the University were evacuated.

The Mayor of Haifa, Yonah Yahav told Channel 2 TV that there was some evidence that one of the fires began when "someone tossed a cigarette in an area full of oil and flammable fluids" in an industrial area.

Highway 443 linking Jerusalem and Tel Aviv was closed to morning traffic on Thursday after another fire reached the city of Modi'in.

About 300 students were evacuated from a school in a settlement known as Talmon, and homes and cars were damaged in the blaze.

Cyprus, Italy, Russia, Croatia and Greece have sent help and equipment, including aircraft, to help tackle the blazes.

Four Palestinians have been arrested and are to appear in court on suspicion of starting a bonfire 'negligently'.

"Almost 50% of the fires are apparently arson," Internal Security Minister Gilad Erdan told Army Radio. 

Education Minister Naftali Bennett, the leader of the Jewish Home party, Tweeted (in Hebrew): "Only those to whom the country does not belong are capable of burning it."

The Arabic-language hashtag #Israel_on_fire began trending and most of the tweets expressed pleasure and satisfaction over the outbreak of fires.

Here's a question: if being Islamophobic in America is considered to be racist, why isn't being anti-Semitic also being racist?

Syrians: some of their best friends are Jewish

A report by The Tower, tells of how Israel saved a 5-year-old Syrian girl's life by smuggling in a relative for a transplant. They saved her life twice: once when they treated her wounds from a firefight between rival militias and again after she was diagnosed with cancer.

She was treated and later diagnosed at Rambam Hospital in Haifa just 2 weeks after recovering from her wounds and the hospital refused to release her until she was treated for cancer.

A bone marrow match was found in a relative in Syria, an "enemy state" of Israel's, and under Israeli law, that made it illegal to bring the relative into the country. But Israeli security services say "pshaw" to the law and smuggled her relative in anyway. Both the relative and the child are being quarantined while awaiting the transplant procedure. 

The Tower said that over the past five years, over 2,000 Syrians have been treated in Israeli hospitals. 

What evil people those Israelis are, claims Hamas and their sympathizers. "We could have used that kid to hide behind while killing those evil Jews."

At least some Syrians are aware of Israel's helping Syrians over the years. Aboud Dandachi, a Syrian refugee has a website called Thank You Am Israel. "Thank you to the people of Israel and the Jewish people the world over, for showing kindness and charity to Syrians, whether it is through your IDF medical teams, your aid workers in Greece and the Balkans, or your congregations in North America raising money to aid and sponsor Syrian refugees."

The sad part is that if Hamas or any other terrorist organization could get their meathooks into Dandachi or anyone else with a kind word about Jews, they would be murdered.

Suicide bomber to ISIS: Badahbing!

Haifa, Israel-- President Obama not only has Russian President Putin to thank for going after ISIS, now he has Al Qaeda to thank as well. A suicide bomber blew himself to pieces and took out an ISIS brigade leader in the process.

The religious act of Islamic jihad too place in southern Syria showing just how much of a rivalry exists between ISIS and Al Qaeda.

May have been killed for looking Jewish

The exploded body parts hit the proverbial fan on the ides of November during a top-level meeting of the Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade. These bearded first cousins to camel dung are known for their bloody hold over much of the Golan Heights. Six of the top scumcrumpets were sent to meet their virgins, including Muhammad (really, who would've guessed that name?) "Abu Ali" al-Baridi, head of the group and also know by the sobriquet "The Uncle." This may have been due to all the intermarriages that take place among the more religious families of these pious men, and Abu was, indeed, their uncle.

Al Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, the Al Nusra Front, immediately took credit on Twitter calling the attack "heroic." Obama would have disagreed. He sees men and women who have their gender changed and strive to use toilets normally used for the opposite sex as heroic. He sees black gay basketball players as heroic. He sees traitors like Bowe Bergdahl as heroic.

"The Islamic State [ISIS], that controls the closest area to the Israel border in the Syrian Golan Heights, suffered a severe blow and lost its entire top command in the area in one fell swoop," said Alex Fishman, writing for Yediot Aharonot, an Israeli newspaper.

In spite of the fact that Al Nusra and ISIS share a common religion and common beliefs in jihad as part of that religion, and also both groups hate the same people, especially the Jews and everyone else not believing in Allah the same way they do, they are fighting the crap out of each other south of Damascus along the Israeli border. It's like junk yard dogs going at it while the cats cheer them on.

It took a while for word to get out about the bombing as it came around the same time as the Paris attacks. "We heard the sound of a strong explosion coming from the Baath Party headquarters in the village," said Abu al-Ezzam, a Jamleh resident and another Abu. "We ran to the place, and there were body parts scattered everywhere," Abu noted, speaking of the religion of pieces and what can happen to you if you're involved.

The Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade Tweeted a macho crotch-grabbing statement: "The martyrdom of the leaders will only make us more determined. Blood and sacrifice is welcome for God's sake."

Yes, they love their blood sport, don't they?
