Akko: Arab MK, sister attacked by 3 Jews
Abas Zkoor claims ‘three crazy drunkards’ chased after his sister yelling ‘Arab, Nasrallah should kill you’ and tried to stab her; MK lightly injured by knife while trying to protect her

"MK Abas Zkoor (United Arab List-Ta'al), who lives in Akko, claimed that he and his sister, who wears traditional Muslim attire, were attacked with a knife by a group of young Jews in the city.

Zkoor, who was lightly injured in his hand as he was stabbed by one of the assailants while trying to protect his sister, filed a complaint with the police.

"A couple of crazy drunkards chased after my sister and said to her ‘Arab, Nasrallah should kill you’. She ran away, but they chased after her, caught her and began to beat her. One of them took out a knife and tried to stab her. When I heard the screams, I arrived at the scene, and then they started to curse me. They wounded my finger, and my friend's ear," Zkoor told Ynet.

Akko police said three suspects were apprehended, adding that Zkoor was not attacked because of his MK status.

According to Zkoor, a young Arab man who happened to pass by prevented the assailants from stabbing his sister. The MK said he yelled at one of the assailants "aren’t you ashamed to attack a woman?"

2. Being Arab in the port city on the Bay of Haifa, after missiles have
turned most of the Jewish citizen of the area into refugees, making Haifa into a ghost town, appears to be getting dangerous - which is no doubt the intent of Hezbollah firing those missiles into the Haifa area.

3. And that is why what Israel is doing in Lebanon
is single-handedly creating a new generation of Israel-haters, unfortunately. I really can't comprehend why they don't understand that.

4. I also am at a loss - "Why" a response is easy, but I do not understand
why this response.

Indeed the Israeli's are working so hard to avoid civilian deaths that they are taking Israeli deaths and wounded, but their stupidity in thinking that bombing a field and buildings near that field where Hez has fired rockets will caused any change is so not understandable.

The fact Israeli's say sorry - and mean it - whenever a civilian in Gaza or Lebanon is killed, compared to Hez claiming victory when it killed the little Israeli school kids - reversing only until it was pointed out they were arab Israeli school girls - at which point it said it was unhappy and sorry about killing them - just doesn't register with the world.


Bunker buster bombs taking out whole villages make more sense - at least there are fewer Israeli dead and the point that being the hands for Hez murder via support and cooperation is made as effectively as the bombing and troop fights being done today convey that message.

Syria and Iran leadership deserve a special place in hell for causing this.
