Two Israelis fatally shot in Jerusalem during rampage by Palestinian attacker

Source: Washington Post

A Palestinian gunman, known to Israeli police for violence and incitement on social media, killed two Israelis and wounded several others while shooting a rifle from his car in Jerusalem on Sunday.

The assailant, who could not be named due to a court order, died after motorcycle police opened fire on him.

At his first stop, a busy light-rail station, the assailant shot Lehava Melihi, 60, killing her and wounding others. He was then chased at high speed by police along the seamline that joins Jewish and Arab neighborhoods of the city. As police officers on motorcycles closed in on him, he shot and killed one of them, Yosef Kirma, 29, before he was killed in turn.

That's not including the Israelis' theft of the Palestinians' freedom and property, and the fact that Palestinians usually target illegal occupiers, including this attack that happened in Palestinian East Jerusalem.

Is it allowed to post murders of Palestinians in the Latest Breaking News Forum? Are their lives equally valuable?

And of course murders of Palestinians can be, and have been, posted in LBN.

One does not justify the other.

When Palestinians murder Israelis they are considered heros.

It is to bad that the anti-Israel leftist have hitched their wagon to an Islamic controlled government. There is no winning strategy there.
