Elderly Israeli killed in Jerusalem terror stabbing

A young Palestinian Arab assailant stabbed and killed an 86-year-old Israeli man in the southern Jerusalem neighborhood of Gilo on Thursday morning.

The young terrorist was stopped for inspection by a pair of police officers, a man and a woman, when he pulled out a large knife and attacked the male officer.

As he tried to escape the scene, the terrorist stopped long enough to plunge his knife into the chest of an elderly pedestrian. Emergency resuscitation efforts by ambulance crews failed.

Despite his own wounds, the police officer managed to shoot the attacker several times. Another passerby then overpowered the injured terrorist.

Both the terrorist and the wounded officer were taken to Jerusalem's Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in moderate-to-serious condition.

Ben you will be missed, and I understand the words you wrote. God must always come first, and we all will be praying for your health to improve! God bless you and your loved ones. My prayer is that your blockage can be taken care of medically, and you will be restored to great health.

You will be in my prayers as well, brother. Are you going to have cardiac bypass surgery, or possibly a PTCA and stents placed? My husband had bypass surgery 13 years ago for 3 blockages and he is doing great. I work in a Meical Intensive Care Unit and sometimes in the Cardiac unit, so have some knowledge of the procedures available for heart blockages. I am sure I speak for everyone here when I say we would love to hear from you from time to time, to see how you are doing, so don''t forget us!! It is amazing the knowledge God has given doctors to treat heart problems these days. God is with you, Ben!!

You are right , the Israeli policeman tried to commit suicide with the Knife and the young Palestinian man tried to prevent it and succeeded in saving his life , but the old man grabbed the palestinians hand and overpowered the young lad and plunged the knife in his own chest . The young law abiding Palestinian boy was heart broken that he could not prevent these two men from harming themselves even though he had his hand on the knife all the time and could not overpower the 75 year old man . If he had time to do it he probably would have helped the woman too .
Boy that was hard to write and I know it''s a lie, but you actually believe it Soozie . The Koran is a lie too !

Our prayers, are with you dear brother. You will be missed, because even though you have a heart blockage, there is no doubt that you have a heart for God. God bless, and love in Christ to you, and your family.

7 .  ben from texas...My prayer is that your time ahead...
..is a wonderful adventure with the Lord.

I agree also, with the admonition in the Scripture you quoted.

May you be blessed in all that you encounter. And the only say about your precious heart is what God says about it.

9 .  I said earlier that the elderly was attacked because,
cowards will always attack the weaker because, cowards will always be cowards and I read that people thought I was saying something I didn''t say. I tried to express the fact that terrorist will alway pick on people that can''t fight back. Children, Women and the Elderly will always be attacked by the Godless who won''t fight fair and don''t care. Please Christians, don''t attack me because I stick up for those who can''t fight back. Yes I get angry, I have watched this most of my life and the people with the less are always attacked. I get mad because we could fight back and protect them but, we are so christian that we let people die and abused because we believe Jesus wants us to let the enemy to do what ever they want. Thousands die because we sit on our hands. If that is what you believe the Bible says, go for it, not me.

11 .  You''re So Right Ellie, They''re Showing Their True Colors
And all I have to say, is for anyone to find any sort of happiness, involving this horrible act of violence to this elderly Jewish man is showing their true colors, their true feelings of hatred for the Jewish people. And they can deny it as they always do, but as the saying goes, the cat''s out of the bag. And they are not fooling anyone!

12 .  Guess Who
IDIOT BBC run by Muslim all the rest are afraid to tell the truth.
Jews are simple targets

13 .  Simpleton
Um Simpleton, I am sorry but you are wrong. All we here is the side of the Arabs. Lie after lie. Get your facts right
 
BILL-2   10/24/2008 10:18 AM
14 .  Amen Bob
You are absolutely right, that is what that counts is that your heart is right with Jesus. And I can say without a doubt, that my heart is right with Jesus. As I pray yours is also. God bless you.
 
Joyce W   10/24/2008 9:37 AM
15 .  Church

16 .  Baptist
My wife and I attend a Baptist church .We are not Baptist in strict doctrine, we are Christians and follow the teachings of Christ . We believe from the KJV Bible scripture that we will go through the first part of Tribulation and you can walk away ( fall away ) from Jesus . We are learning more about the Hebrew Holy Days and Temple worship. We are pro Israel and the fulfillment of prophecy . We would like to visit Israel in the future .
 
Charles   10/24/2008 5:00 AM
17 .  Charles, you are right about the JW''s
most Presbyterians, and most Methodists. Also include Mormons in the replacement theory nuts. Of course the Cathoholics are in that number as well - that is, IF you can pass them off as Christians with all their idols, Mary worship, saint worship, and Pope worship!! The assistant Rabbi at Beth Messiah is also a Methodist chaplin at the hospital I work at, his wife is Jewish and spends several months a year in ministry in Israel, and his son has moved to Israel and is in the IDF currently on or near the Egyptian border, I believe!!! God bless!!
 
Carol P   10/24/2008 4:51 AM
18 .  Messianic Judaism by preferance
but attending a Baptist church with my husband because he doesn''t care for the Hebrew or charasmatic part of Beth Messiah Messianic Synagogue!!
And I am sure not ashamed of my faith, the gospel of Jesus Christ, or the fact that I am politically INCORRECT!!! God bless Israel! God bless America, and God bless each and everyone of ya''ll!!! Baruch Ha''Shem!!

19 .  WHAT A YOUNG COWARD TO KILL AN OLD MAN AND THER ARE
PALESTIANS PASSING OUT CANDY BECAUSE ANOTHER JEW DIED!!THEY STILL REFUSE TO BELIEVE THERE WAS EVER A JEWISH TELMPLE ON THE MOUNT DESPITE ARCHEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE THAT PROVES THIS OTHERWISE!!JUST LIKE THE IRANIAN LEADER THAT SAYS THERE WAS NO JEWISH HOLOCAUST IN GERMANY..WHAT AN IDIOT
 
BEN FROM TEXAS   10/24/2008 2:42 AM
20 .  I claim - Non-Denominational
Just believe the Bible, brother!!!!
And am a literalist - it means what it says, period!!!

G-d loves the Jews (His Chosen), Israel is His Glory (not any Church)!!! And we have been grafted in through His Saving Grace in Christ and all whom truly love Him will have a natural affinity for Israel and the Jews (And I do), as if they were Blood....
 
magend   10/24/2008 2:12 AM
21 .  I wonder ?
Just how many Jehovah''s Witness''s , Methodist , Presbyterians we have on this site . Don''t answer if you are ashamed of you church ties . These are the main denominations that I am aware of that are of the replacement theology . I''m sure we also have some Muslim troublemakers here also . People if you stand behind your denomination confess it !
 
Charles   10/24/2008 1:15 AM
22 .  Simpleton, Guess Who!!!
Please do tell - did either of your mothers ever have any children that actually lived????


 
magend   10/24/2008 12:36 AM
23 .  Amalek
Amalek was a descendant of Esau and the Amalekites attacked the elderly and children and mothers who were at the back of the group of Israelites who were on the journey to the Promised Land.

There is nothing new under the sun.

Palestinians are descendants of Amalek. So was King Agag, and Haman. And it was the same demonic spirit that was part of Nazism.
 
suzanne   10/23/2008 11:43 PM
24 .  Exactly Ellie!!
And that is why God told the Israelites coming back into the Land to kill every Amalikite right down to the cattle! They were picking off the elderly, children, and the ones who were weak or ill from behind....just like these so-called palistinians do. Cowardly bunch of loosers that they are....they make pond scum look intelligent.

25 .  Elderly Israeli killed in Jerusalem terror stabbing
Dear Guess Who,
NBC is owned by General Electric and the CEO is not Jewish, CNN is owned by Time a non Jewish Owner, Fox is owned by Murdoch a non-Jew, and so on! Your ant-Semites is clear. Why don''t you and I get together, so I can tear out your throat. I am willing how about you? The only good Arab is a dead one being used as bird carrion!
 
Enubus   10/23/2008 10:10 PM
26 .  I saw it
in the evening news here in France on a very liberal left wing station not in Israel. A terrorist act is a terrorist act is a terrorist act! Not all muslims are terrorists, but most terrorist acts are perpetrated by muslims!
God bless Israel and God bless my brothers and sisters in Yeshua
 
FRANK   10/23/2008 9:19 PM
27 .  Guess who? Let me guess!
ARI!!!!!!!!!
 
Jim Borge   10/23/2008 8:14 PM
28 .  I cannot believe some responses here!
Crimes against the elderly and children are against the weakest of any society! But some here seem to have lost the fact that a very elderly man was murdered!! You are more concerned in whethor or not the media got the story right??
I simply cannot imagine what an 86 yr old pedestrian could have done apart from being in the escape path of the murderer!
 
Ellie   10/23/2008 7:47 PM
29 .  Oh happy day
Someone else who sees the truth and the whole truth.

Propaganda for the masses and it works just like a charm - hook line and sinker.
 
Soozie   10/23/2008 6:39 PM
30 .  MONSTERS!
I am with you Magend! The "international community" wants to give these monsters a state of their OWN in ISRAEL? NEVER! These insane murders of Israeli citizens MUST STOP, even if it means deporting these "palestinian" devils out of Israel forever!
 
Jim Borge   10/23/2008 6:33 PM
31 .  Hello Hello..
Simpleton....
All we are getting is the Israeli side of the story because THE STORY IS IN ISRAEL believe it or not.

If you want another version of the the story then switch on BBC news or CNN or some other garbage like that....
ER NO, sorry, you WONT get it on those channels because they DONT report the truth...therefore please remember that this news is online and you have to individually surf the web to read it, whereas BBC and CNN are on your TV right in the living room (or wherever you have it) and at the flick of a switch when you turn on the TV to watch a documentary and someone had left it on CNN previously, YOU CANT HELP BUT SEE THE RUBBISH THEY PUT IN YOUR FACE.

Forgive me for explaining it so clear to you.

Thankyou
 
Kent   10/23/2008 6:28 PM
