Israeli bus hits Palestinians in Jenin, 1 dead

http://www.maannews.net/eng/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=742711

ABLUS (Ma'an) -- An Israeli bus driver ran over two Palestinians at the al-Jalama checkpoint in Jenin, killing one person and injuring another, Palestinian security sources said Tuesday.

Palestinian security sources told Ma'an that Noor Hassan Naim Salim, 22, and Alaa Kayid Salim, 20, from Nablus were injured after being ran over by an Israeli bus.

Hussein was taken to an Israeli hospital with serious injuries and later died. Salim was taken to Jenin governmental hospital with light injuries.


I'm surprised. The bus driver was only arrested for running over the Palestinians. Palestinians apparently are gunned down for such actions.

Will the bus driver's house be destroyed for acting like a terrorist, or are there two sets of rules for Israeli and Palestinians?

Ramallah: A speeding Israeli bus loaded with colonists ran over a group of Palestinians, killing one and hurting two others near the Israeli checkpoint of Al Jalamah between Nablus and Jenin.

The Israeli bus crossed the checkpoint without stopping just as a group of Palestinian workers inside Israel stepped out having gone through their inspection process.

The speeding bus ran over Noor Hassan Salem, 22, his cousin Alaa Kayed Salem and a third villager from a village near Nablus.

news coverage from Maan.

It was unclear if the incident was an intentional attack or an accident.

But the driver in this case actually was palestinian. Why do you suppose he wasn't shot by the police?

Curious to see if anything changes in the coverage once it is widely reported that the driver was a Palestinian citizen of Israel.

They'll use this story only if it can be twisted into an "Israeli" hitting a Palestinian.

The inference being that a Jew did it. That's a big story for those wanting to incite.

Some Arab media outlets are expert at doing this, reporting that a busload of settler colonists ran over Palestinians. This is the kind of news that thrills Jew-hating shitbags.
