Israeli youth stabs four Arabs in Dimona attack

[azurnoir]

Israeli teenager on Friday morning went on a stabbing spree in the southern city of Dimona, wounding three Palestinian men and a Bedouin Arab.

The stabber attacked one man at a shopping center and then advanced to another location next to a local school, where he stabbed three others. A security guard then tackled and restrained the suspect, 17, until police arrived.

Police called the attack “nationalistic,” indicating that it was likely retaliation for a rash of recent Palestinian attacks against Israelis, which have triggered an escalation in anti-Arab rhetoric in recent days.

The suspect, who reports said has a criminal background and a history of psychiatric issues, confessed to the stabbing, saying that he thought all Arabs were “terrorists.”

1. The old double standard at play.

Jewish teen gets subdued without physical harm and is considered to have psychological issues and the attack is called "nationalistic."

Whereas Arab teens get gunned down, branded terrorists, and their families' homes bulldozed.

So it goes in the apartheid state.

4. He is identified as a Jewish terrorist

Four Arab men were wounded Friday morning in Dimona in a stabbing attack carried out by a Jewish terrorist for nationalist reasons.

6. ya according to 1 JPost author but not Netanyahu

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office reported that he strongly condemned the attack against innocent Arabs.

"Israel is a country of law and order. Those who use violence and break the law – from whatever side – will be dealt with to the fullest extent of the law," the Prime Minister said.

2. 4 Bedouins stabbed in Dimona, Jewish suspect arrested

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4708905,00.html

Jewish suspect with psychiatric history admits to nationalistically-motivated stabbing attack on 4 Bedouins in Dimona; Crowd of Jews in Netanya attempt to lynch an Arab, police arrive on time to save him.

A Jewish Israeli with a psychiatric history was arrested in Dimona Friday morning after four Bedouins were stabbed in what initial investigations labeled a nationalistically motivated attack.

The 17-year-old stabber, know to police, admitted under questioning that he believes all Arabs are terrorists and that is the reason why he stabbed them.

Thursday night Jews tried to lynch three Arabs at Kikar Haatzmaut in Netanya, while shouting "death to the Arabs". Two managed to escape, but the third was injured.

This is just an observation, and I don't mean to distract from the pain taking place in Palestine or Israel, but there is a severe double standard where Palestinians are shot on sight for alleged crimes whereas Israelis are taken in for questioning.

This is the norm, and do we have to wonder why Palestinians are pissed off?

Palestinian life is considered cheap in Israel, IMHO.
