Acre gang stabs, lightly wounds MK Abbas Zakur in hate crime

By Yoav Stern and Jack Khourie, Haaretz Correspondents

MK Abbas Zakur (Ra'am-Ta'al) was lightly wounded on Saturday after three unidentified men went on a stabbing rampage aimed against Israeli Arabs through the center of the integrated northern city of Acre.

During the attack, assailants reportedly shouted chants against Arabs and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, implying they were motivated out of racial hatred.

The incident began in the city-center when assailants stabbed an Israeli Arab passerby and harassed Zakur's sister, who fled to her brother's home nearby.

Why am I not surprised there isnt a flood of "SEE!!!! They're a bunch of murderers who want nothing but to kill!!!!" people jumping over this story. Simple fact is that there are crazies in all walks of life, not just amongst muslims.

Im not really suprised, after seeing Israelis throw acid on there on people during the Gaza pull-out this is rather tame.

Holy cow... Deja Vu all over again. Kinda like a analogous mirror of Seattle yesteday. Poof - another "one" goes all awry. I did not expect this. I hope this does not trend anyway but down offscale-low.

This is just sad. What, are people drinking the "Kool-Aid" of hatred cuz it's so freakin' hot or have we a sociological landscape about to spontaneously combust?

I wish it would rain, rain hard, rain everywhere there are not already floods and cool this madness down to a treatable psychotic episode in a tragic period of human history that we'll have to explain to our children as aberrant and abhorrent. I'm glad no one died and that I don't have kids.

Thanx, Pie... glad I heard it here first.

I wonder if the same people who were calling that Pakistani who shot those Jewish people a "terrorist" would call this Israeli guy a "terrorist" too.

The same people who are supporting them also revere them as well. You won't see them call these Russians, terrorists because they are also chosen. They support them and believe they will be blessed by actions like these. Ahh well...I think when the time comes for judgement they are going to be in for the big shock of their lifetime come judgement day.

Some Muslim guy who hates Israeli's shot some folks in Seattle yesterday.

terrible yes I know. Its usually the other way around. These 3 went around stabbing people randomly too. Imagine if it was an Israeli Knesset member..it would have made front page news and all the borders would be locked down.

I bet they get at least 30 days in jail.

Funny how I only saw that plastered all over the news and not a word of this incident. Just proves why I gotta read to get news, not watch it.

Anybody else fear this may get outta hand a la France/Sydney riots ?

Well, they did attack their own protesters for being "race haters"....

We know. Why post that in a thread about something different? You trying to say what the muslim guy did was worse? ( maybe because he was a muslim ) was that the idea for posting that comment?

Why? Because in Israel these kinds of things happen routinely and usually go unpunished. Cops there look the other way. Its only when a Jewish life is taken that notice is to be had. He is just telling you that he doesn't care and that the Muslim murderer takes precedence over the Arabs being stabbed by a gang. Settlers burn,torture,and shoot at Palistinians routinely as if its a sport.

This is so sickening. The arrogance.

The answer would probably be no, he is not a terrorist.

Why?

The goal of a terrorist is to cause terror.
It is even more important than actual killing or amount of destruction.
You see, if the goal is terror-destruction and murder are just the methods used.
Also, you want to leave many alive-killing very few.
The survivors, especially injured will tell their tale of terror and the terror spreads.

My point is that man/men are racist murders-PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Their goal is to kill arabs-probably lost friends or family to the muslium terrorists.

It has NOTHING to do with terrorism or terrorist!

So do you think that Pakistani was a terrorist Mrmonsoon? I dont doubt your view on this occassion but I take offence when one gets labeled a terrorist and these guys dont when they've done the EXACT same crime.

They are very different crimes; I will attempt to explain it again to you.

A terrorist wants only to create terror. They murder, send rockets (filled with ball bearings) into civilian towns-purposely targeting anything-not a specify military target of any form

(BTW, the reason the terrorists fill the rockets and missiles with ball bearing is to create "daisy cutter" type bombs-you know-the kind that the whole Muslim world condemned when used on Iraq, but the Whole Muslim world ignores it when it is done by Muslim terrorists. This is being done to do as much damage and kill and hurt as many innocent civilians as possible.)

You see terrorists specifically seek to kill civilians-yes, I know, anyone with 2 brain cells knows that.
IDF specifically seeks terrorists and their weapons-which the terrorists hide among civilians-as they do-because they are cowards and want as much death and destruction on both sides as possible.

Oh so a gang of Russian jews running around with knives randomly stabbing people would not create any type of terror situation. I see. Its not a message sent out to Israeli arabs at all.


It wasn't just one guy it was 3 guys. I wouldn't be surprised at all to find out that it was in fact an assasination attempt made to look like a hate crime.

And the reason Israel uses cluster munitions? Simply put they want to kill AND maim whomever is in the BZ and for the unexploded bomblettes? Bonus killing and maiming? That's a terrorist "dessert". All killers of the innocent are sub-human replicants-faux of a time gone by and Mobius-looping because these individuals cannot learn from their past failings... runts of the litter - all.

Qana v1.0, Qana v2.0... what's next poisoning the water supply? Strafing a "security" corridor? I bet it is insidiuos and on-the-table.

PLEASE show me sources for Israel using cluster bombs??????
I full doubt there are any, as they are not being used.
I know I am a killjoy for pointing out your direct purposeful LIE-something that is against ATS TAC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, Victor-I noticed you said NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
About the terrorist using ball bearing in their terrorists rocket attacks directly and purposefully targeting civilians.

Anyways, remember someone who kills people of another race, because he/they hate that race, is a racist-period.

Someone(S) who causes death and destruction with the sole intent of causing terror is a terrorist.

A Pakistani muslim indescriminately shoots American Jews because they are jews.
He's labeled a terrorist.

A group of three Russian Israelis indescriminately stab Israeli Arabs because they are arabs.
They are labeled attempted murderers.

Both sought to kill those of a certain religion/background. Both terrorised the people they were attacking. Both shouted comments of racial hatred whilst doing the crime. But only one side is labeled terrorism. That is bigotry and I denounce it wholeheartedly.

Israeli Cluster Munitions Hit Civilians in Lebanon
Israel Must Not Use Indiscriminate Weapons
(Beirut, July 24, 2006) – Israel has used artillery-fired cluster munitions in populated areas of Lebanon, Human Rights Watch said today. Researchers on the ground in Lebanon confirmed that a cluster munitions attack on the village of Blida on July 19 killed one and wounded at least 12 civilians, including seven children. Human Rights Watch researchers also photographed cluster munitions in the arsenal of Israeli artillery teams on the Israel-Lebanon border.


“Cluster munitions are unacceptably inaccurate and unreliable weapons when used around civilians,” said Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch. “They should never be used in populated areas.”

According to eyewitnesses and survivors of the attack interviewed by Human Rights Watch, Israel fired several artillery-fired cluster munitions at Blida around 3 p.m. on July 19. The witnesses described how the artillery shells dropped hundreds of cluster submunitions on the village. They clearly described the submunitions as smaller projectiles that emerged from their larger shells.

HRW

Ok, pie man, I will give you this and only this one point, if hezbolla didn't use cluster bombs-and we all know they do- then Isral would be wrong for using them.

I agree, if the terrorists did not hide among civilians, almost no civilians would die.

Clearly, we can all see, if the terrorists one-never attacked-civilians would be ok.

Two, perhaps if the terrorists did not use "cluster bombs" Israel would not either.

If the Muslim terrorists care so much for their "Lebanese" brother-why don't they go away from them to protect them-nah.................?
