This Could Have Been My Guy

There’s a story in the Israeli press today and I’m just waiting to see what kind of international attention this get. I have a van and a driver who delivers to Arabs. He does not venture into Arab areas, but he goes close enough and this could happen to him at any time. I’m glad his military background is from a fighting unit.

Two Palestinians killed in botched robbery of Israeli driver near Hebron – Israel Hayom

Truck driver reports shooting at Palestinian gang that tried to kidnap him • Driver, 52-year-old Ashkelon man, sustains minor injuries from blunt object • Third Palestinian man reportedly wounded • MK Avi Dichter: Palestinian robbery attempts should be viewed as terror attacks.

Two Palestinians were killed and a third was wounded on Sunday during what appears to have been an attempted robbery of a Jewish truck driver just south of Hebron.

The truck driver, a 52-year-old resident of Ashkelon who sustained minor injuries from the attempted robbery, reported that the three Palestinians had hurled a blunt object at him and tried to kidnap him and that he had shot them in self defense, Army Radio reported.

The two Palestinians were pronounced dead at a Palestinian hospital.

After shooting the perpetrators, the driver reportedly drove to the nearest checkpoint and reported the incident to the authorities.

I hope the driver recovers quickly.

  1. “…and I’m just waiting to see what kind of international attention this get.”

    I’m expecting the usual: “[Such and such] happened in Hebron. [more boilerplate text]. The Palestinian population of Hebron is beset by the daily brutality of illegal settlers. Goiters / Ahmed Abu Batata”

  2. I’m waiting to see how long it will take for Israel’s Persecutor Prosecutor General to charge him with double homicide.

  3. I would like to see someone set a trap for these filthy vermin Arabs; drive through with a van, or truck filled with reinforcements in the back, when the Arabs try and hijack the vehicle, the reinforcements jump out and kill them all and burn their carcasses to unidentifiable ash.

  4. International attention = nil, unless of course the usual Arab/Muslim outrage erupts and the mediocre (media in name only),swarm all over the story! I can see the headline now, “Desperately hungry Arabs stop van to ask for food, slaughtered by Jewish Extremist”.

  5. Too many Israelis cavalierly go near Palestinian areas. Palestinians need to be viewed as enemies. That nice man Ahmed who picks up your trash will one day leave a bomb next to your door.

  6. Off topic – I see on your side bar that Debbie Schlussel does not think much of you. She is a complete lunatic, psycho witch who really needs to be institutionalized. She also is a cyber terrorist.
