2 Israelis stabbed in Gush Etzion
2006-06-07
Two Israelis were stabbed Wednesday afternoon near the community of Alon Shvut in Gush Etzion. Police say that the condition of both is light and they were taken to a hospital in Jerusalem.

A police check found that the youths, an 18-year old teenager, and a soldier, 19, were hiking through the area during the afternoon, before coming under attack by Palestinians. The woman was injured by a rock thrown at her head and the pair stopped. The attackers approached them, and one attacker stabbed the man in his back.
True to form.
He is lightly to moderately injured. Magen David Adom paramedics and police have been called to the area, while the IDF is chasing after the terrorists, seen fleeing escaping towards the village of Nahlin.

A day earlier, a Palestinian stabbed an Israeli civilian north of Jerusalem. The civilian was moderately injured. An initial investigation found that the victim pulled his car over to help the Palestinian, who was stranded on the roadside. The Palestinian asked him for water, and when the Israeli returned with a bottle, he stabbed him in the neck.
Hum, he should have done what the UK Youths(Tm) debated on their forum : let him stranded on the side of the road, unless he accepted to convert to judaism. That'll teach him not to behave like the Master Religion.

#2  My first thought on reading this was that this is to what the Palestinians are reduced, now that they can't get suicide bombers past the security wall. Yes, they did manage to attack two Israelis, but only accomp;ished a bruised head and a shallow cut before running away. I suspect our New York City contingent's response would be along the lines of, "You think that's a mugging? Ha! One time, back in the 1980s I was mugged so bad that..."
