Gunman wounds 2 Israelis in Denmark mall shooting

A gunman shot and wounded two Israelis working at a packed central Denmark shopping mall Wednesday, police said.

Police spokesman Lars Thede said it was not immediately clear whether the Israelis were targeted because of their nationality. A video surveillance camera showed a swarthy man with a dark mustache and dark hair in his mid-20s pulling out a gun before opening fire.

"We cannot say whether he is Palestinian, Iraqi, Iranian or Bosnian, or where he is from," Thede said.

According to the B.T. newspaper's Web site, a man shouted something in another language and opened fire. Another Israeli inside the hairdressing shop threw a chair at the gunman, the newspaper said.

"Feliz Navidad" for sure!

No, it's not too early to speculate whether they were targeted because of their nationality. It may be too early to confirm it, but even that is doubtful.

Nor is it too early to speculate that such statements that it is "too early to speculate" are issued because the relevant officials know damn well that the victims were targeted because of their nationality, and are trying desperately to downplay the fact.

Many of the other articles I link to in #15 do indeed confirm that it was an Arab man perpetrator and that the victims were targeted because they were Israelis.

Gunman opens fire on Israelis working at mall in Denmark

The men, who were selling hair-care products, had been harassed by a group of youths in recent days, Denmark's Ritzau news agency said.

According to the B.T. newspaper's Web site, a man shouted something in another language and opened fire. Another Israeli inside the hairdressing shop threw a chair at the gunman, the newspaper said.

Arabs attack Israeli-owned store in Denmark
December 31, 2008
(JTA) -- Arab gunmen attacked an Israeli-owned stand at a mall in Denmark.

Arab youths opened fire on the Israelis working at the store in the Danish city of Odenza, located about 125 miles north of the capital city of Copenhagen. Two of the Israeli employees were lightly injured. The attack was in retaliation for Israel's operation in Gaza, Israel's Foreign Ministry said.

Well, yes, I was going to add that these are all countries that fall into the "using new technology and innovation" rather than "creating new technology and innovation" categories, but those are rather large, and it seemed to be laying it on a bit thick.

Also, there is the category of "Can only dream about using new technology and innovation," as well. Those are the ones I actually feel sorry for.

YNet news has more info:

Unknown assailants, believed to be Arab, attacked salespeople at an Israeli-owned stand in Denmark, the Foreign Ministry said Wednesday afternoon. Two Israelis reportedly suffered light injuries in the shooting attack.

Ministry Spokesman Yossi Levy, said the assailants identified the salespeople as Israeli before opening fire at the stand, in the city of Odenza, west of the capital, Copenhagen. He said that according to reports received by the ministry the two Israelis did not suffer life-threatening injuries.

Foreign Ministry officials continue to monitor events as local police are looking into the attack. At this time, it is unclear how many attackers took part in the assault and whether they were arrested.

"Two Israelis working a Dead Sea Products stand in a mall were fired upon," Dan Oryan of the Israeli Embassy in Copenhagen told Ynet. "We don’t know how many people were involved in the shooting, but several individuals were seen fleeing the scene.

Confused? Those candidates were just pulled from the search summaries!

Hmmm -- apparently the shooting occurred in a hairdressing shop owned by one of the Israelis. Maybe the gunman was just a customer who was pissed off because the bitches had given him an unflattering haircut. (And what he was shouting in Arabic or Farsi was "Oh. My. God. This look is très 2007...")

//

Meanwhile, according to CNN:

Exiled Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal is ready to stop the fighting in exchange for an end to Israel's blockade of Gaza, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced.

Mashaal spoke with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Wednesday and outlined Hamas' position on the resumption of the Palestinian reconciliation process, the foreign ministry said.

"Mashaal said in response to [Lavrov] that they are ready to end the armed confrontation, but only if these measures are linked to steps intended to remove the Gaza Strip's blockade," the ministry said.

While living in self-imposed exile in Damascus, Syria, Mashaal remains the head of Hamas, which controls Gaza.

The "Palestinian reconciliation process"? So this is a fight between Palestinians. Damn, it gets so confusing...

The craven media once again plays the enabler for this dark ages death cult that we can't seem to bring ourselves to identify as the enemy.

Nobody messes with the Zohan

Sayyid Qutb was pissed because he couldn't get a decent haircut in America. These two Israelis were connected with the hairdressing industry. The assailant was merely aggravated over the injustice done to Qutb. Nothing to see. Everything's explained. Move along.

Lubavitch.com has some interesting background info on the case:

Two Israelis were shot Wednesday while managing their booth at a shopping mall in Odense, Denmark. According to Copenhagen's Chabad Rabbi Yitzchok Loewenthal, one of the victims is undergoing surgery for his wounds.
...

Rabbi Loewenthal was in contact with security at Denmark's Israeli embassy and police authorities following the attack, and says that police have recovered the black Audi getaway car, but have yet to apprehend the shooters.

Arab demonstrators protested in the center of town yesterday, and at the Israeli embassy. But, says Loewenthal, things are generally quiet in Copenhagen. Denmark's Jewish population numbers roughly 8,000, with the majority in Copenhagen,

By contrast, Odense has a strong Muslim population, and the victims were reportedly dealing with daily harassment by Muslims. Several years ago, recalls Rabbi Loewenthal, Chabad rabbinical students who had gone to Odense on outreach missions, were practically "stoned out of the city by local Muslims.

re: #113 yma o hyd

I'll go to town day after tomorrow and have a chat. The 'mall' is pretty small and usually very well populated. There have never been any incidents, like youths attacking them - that would have been reported in our local rag.
Still, pevention is better than cure.

Thank you. Tell them to keep in touch with their parents too to let them know they are okay as well as whoever they know well in the US community. This time of year, we have hundreds of kiosks in the US malls alone. Sometimes Jewish Americans/ students work with/are related to the Israelis .. mostly aged 19 to 30.

Good choice. I don't think anyone really knows why it works but it seems to for a great number of urinary tract conditions. Its sorta like cinnamon and type 2 diabetes. A couple of cinnamon capsules twice a day does a good job of controlling it. If anyone cares to follow up do a search on cinnamon+diabetes+fda for some of the stuff the FDA has put out about it. There is at least one biological company trying to tease the stuff out of the cinnamon that does the job but the problem is that you can't get a patent on cinnamon and its pretty cheap just to take the capsules.

Maybe the part wasn't straight.

Muslim yoots in the West often feel estranged & isolated from society.

They then return to feel estranged again & blow something up.

I wrote an article on that many years ago. You had young kids in the projects committing murder on a regular basis. Minority kids in a fatherless home are pretty easy to recruit. And if they waste someone, all they have to do is keep their mouth shut about who ordered it. They won't do serious time because they are juveniles. I'd guess that it is pretty much the same thing over there.

re: #156 father_of_10

Your first? Wow. Congrats! It was just the kind of thing that outsiders will cut and paste to their "We Hate LGF" websites and blogs.

Funny tho.

Israel National News has more info:

Palestinian Authority Arab terrorists attacked a group of young Israelis at a stand in a Danish mall early Wednesday evening.

Local police said the attack took place at approximately 3:20 p.m. at the Rosengirdscentret Center, one of the largest shopping centers in the city of Odense, located about 200 kilometers from Copenhagen.

According to Foreign Ministry spokesman Yossi Levi, an undetermined number of Palestinian Authority gunmen approached the group of young Israelis at a "basta", or stand which sells Dead Sea products and other items from Israel and opened fire "with guns or rifles."

It was not clear how many terrorists, and how many Israelis were involved in the attack. Two Israelis were wounded, one in the leg and the other in the shoulder. "As far as we know, there is no danger to their lives," Levi said, "but we do not know their names or other details at this time."

He added that Foreign Ministry officials in Denmark are in close contact with local authorities there. Very few details of the attack were available, however, and Levi was unable to say whether the terrorists had been caught or had managed to escape. A Danish radio station said the terrorists escaped in a black Audi sedan, which police later found at a nearby college.

Levi made a point of stressing that the Israeli government believes there is a connection between this terrorist attack and the Arab world's opposition to the current military operation in Gaza.

"In the Foreign Ministry, a direct line is drawn between these assaults and the sharp anti-Israeli and anti-Jewish propaganda in the Arab national and international media since the beginning of the operation in Gaza," he said. "We don't have proof, but that is our estimation."

A number of Islamist terrorists have been discovered living in Vollsmose, a suburb of Odense in the past two years, including three former PA residents and a Danish native who became a convert to Islam. All were arrested in 2006 and convicted of plotting to carry out terrorist acts using TATP, a deadly explosive favored by suicide bombers in the Middle East.

Some 85 percent of the community is populated by Muslim immigrants, many of whom came to the country since 1980 from Iran, Iraq, Somalia and the Palestinian Authority. Estimates vary, but Muslim authorities say their population numbers approximately 300,000 in Denmark, with 115 mosques operating throughout the country.

Police spokesman Lars Thede said it was not immediately clear whether the Israelis were targeted because of their nationality. A video surveillance camera showed a swarthy man with a dark mustache and dark hair in his mid-20s pulling out a gun before opening fire.

One would hope a brave Arab leader would finally say, "We've used those poor people for 60 years...it's time to 'throw in the towel' and relocate them as the Jews were relocated into Israel when they were expelled from the Arab lands in 1948."

Chaim Herzog wrote in The Arab-Israeli Wars that, "It is sobering to reflect that just one day's Arab oil revenues, even in 1949, would have sufficed to solve the entire Arab refugee problem."

Day before yesterday the bank was robbed. Yesterday the guard was back.

He usually stands outside the building, though. That's what gets me. I asked him if the tellers inside had any way of signaling him if something bad was going on inside. He said no.

Danish tabloid B.T. has police report details (in Danish, unfortunately):

Attackers fled in Audi

It was a Silver AUDI. S. AUDI

re: #221 vapig

You don't think we have enough third worlders as it is?

I think we already have way too many. However, the dear "leaders" in my country seem to think otherwise, as they have clearly put out the welcome mat again. I think the Netherlands is the only country in Europe where immigration actually increased this year.

Just what we need...

Apparently these two Israelis were shot while working on their stall, selling Dead sea cosmetics. Apparently, lots of young Israelis do tha sort of thing to earn some money.

Yes, there is one in the Mall of America in the Twin Cities. A very attractive female Israeli was working (owner?) one night and corralled me to try to sell me skin cleanser made of Dead Sea salt. Very good sales lady. I walked away with $60 worth of the stuff.....it's still in a closet at my house if anyone wants it.

i'm glad the terrorist was a lousy shot and only wounded these guys.
and i'm glad the israelis fought back against him.
the danish authorities need to put this pos away.
european countries must take a firm stand against this kind of psychotic behavior.
because jihadis will eventually be coming for them too.
and just as openly.

He usually stands outside the building, though. That's what gets me. I asked him if the tellers inside had any way of signaling him if something bad was going on inside. He said no. So a robber can just walk past him, hand the teller a note, and walk out calmly with the swag before the guard ever notices.

What is wrong with these companies?

I doubt he could tell you the teller tells. Then you would know and get around it and rob the bank.

re: #88 yma o hyd

Indeed, thank God for Israel - because this war has made a surprisingly large number of crypto-anitsemites come out of hiding, showing their true colours.

No kidding. Protein Wisdom's resident cretinous web-footed trolls are raving.

If ever a blog cried out for comment registration...

I would sure like to see one of these wussies stumble into some fortified juice when they pull this crap.

Meanwhile, according to CNN:

Exiled Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal is ready to stop the fighting in exchange for an end to Israel's blockade of Gaza, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced.

You gotta love this Palestinian bluster. Guess what. . .Khaled Meshal has zero ability to stop the fighting.

He didn't start the Israeli operation and he can't stop it. Even assuming he actually has control on the ground in Gaza (itself a questionable proposition) he can't control what Israel does. Meanwhile, Israel, frankly, doesn't give a rat's bottom what Meshal says on this. Israel is there specifically because promises from HAMAS can't be trusted.

So this will stop when. . .and only when. . .Israel decides to call it quits.

That will happen either one of two ways: Either Israel will meet its tactical objectives of severely damaging HAMAS' infrastructure and ability to carry out attacks, or alternatively (and hopefully this doesn't happen) when its political "stomach" has been exhausted.

And no matter which of the two is the outcome, HAMAS will still exist when this is over, and will therefore declare another "victory" over Israel. Count on it.

Given the way that the followers of Mohammed are inflamed by the sight of the female form, the burkha drapery was probably necessary to prevent Denmark's Muslim youths from doing themselves damage by ramming their members against the bronze.

LMAO!

G-d be with them.

re: #188 badbear

One thing you must keep in mind. Even though a lot of the time it may seem that we are holding a private conversation among friends, there are a lot of people watching. Some of these people are hostile to LGF. If you stay around and post much, some of them may be hostile to you.

You can't always tell them apart. There have been posters who seemed to be really cool people who, after you found them out, were cast iron bastards. You can't ever really tell what is sitting at the keyboard behind that lovely TCP/IP barrier that will keep you from strangling some sorry son of a bitch who deserves it.

I have heard from people in the Southwest that Muslims have been marrying into the Native American communities for ten or fifteen years now as a way of gaining green cards and citizenship. I have heard that the Hopi pueblos now have many many resident Muslims. Never confirmed this, just a rumor thus far.

I saw several Arab-run Indian jewelry stores in Gallup, NM. Your explanation makes a lot of sense.

re: #194 SlartyBartfast

One would hope a brave Arab leader would finally say, "We've used those poor people for 60 years...it's time to 'throw in the towel' and relocate them as the Jews were relocated into Israel when they were expelled from the Arab lands in 1948."

Chaim Herzog wrote in The Arab-Israeli Wars that, "It is sobering to reflect that just one day's Arab oil revenues, even in 1949, would have sufficed to solve the entire Arab refugee problem."

The residents of Gaza are neither Palestinians nor refugees...they're pawns.

The Kuwaitis kicked the Palestinians out of Kuwait during the Gulf War. The Iraqis kicked them out more recently. The Saudis have a special law denying them citizenship. It's really interesting to see how the Arab brothers turn on the Palestinians whenever they feel like it.

Oddly enough, most Israelis mean what they say when they say they want peace, and they expect to live with Arabs or near Arabs. However, they don't expect the Land of Israel to be "Judenrein," free of Jews, even though the rest of world thinks that's OK.

In my former days, I thought that if the Jews moved out of the West Bank, that was a "fair" way to solve the problem. Now, many years later, I don't think so. I think the Palestinians need to be crushed so that they know that they must get along with the Jews, or else.

The Jews' unfortunate history of living among hostile peoples and having to placate them taught them a bad lesson. They want to be nice and they want to be loved. Jews have to learn to be in charge of things and to stop apologizing to the world for running their own country.

The Europeans are trying to drag Israelis down to their own level, because World War II and the Cold War cut the heart out of European civilization.

Thank goodness in the U.S., half the population still knows how to act with justice and with pride.

And of course lots of sheep - the four-legged variety, that is.

And such beautiful sheep, from the pictures I've seen in Spin-Off. I get a severe case of fleece yearning every time I see them!

Oops......dead thread.

Wait till Zohan hears about this.

>It is a right fucked up situation. I don't know what the answer is, but what we have done so far hasn't worked.

Oooops...

It is a right fucked up situation. I don't know what the answer is, but what we have done so far hasn't worked.

Let's all pray really hard. All it'd take is a strategically located earthquake or tsunami!

re: #1 pegcity

wonder what the religion of the shooter was?

F'ing Knights Templar again, no doubt.

Sudden Jihad Syndrome strikes again.

the shooter isn't bad, he's just misunderstood and that's all anyone needs to know about him.

re: #101 rockmanvermont

Sadat was offered Gaza at Camp David and told Begin to keep it. Even then, Gaza was too much trouble. Why would Egypt want it now?

I have a Kidney stone, on medication and juice only. No soda for at least two weeks.

Watch out for grapefruit juice. That stuff is hard on the old kidneys. Down to one due to cancer in the kidney with stones. Also, if you ever have blood in your urine, run to the hospital to have it checked out as it might be the only symptom of kidney cancer you get.

re: #158 Silhouette

My experience with the Dead Sea Salt kiosk: The lady selling to me mentioned she was from another country, and I said "Israel?" She was amazed (did I mention she was trying to sell me something?) and asked how I could ever guess that.

"Uh, you're wearing a Star of David necklace and selling Dead Sea brand?"

I'm a genius.

Israelis as a group suffer from the idea that they are mysterious and unrecognizable, even to foreign Jews. I once started chatting with a group of tourists in London when we were on a 'ghost walk'. My non-Tanach Hebrew is limited, but they were happily discussing the 'ruchot', and I was able to turn and ask them where in Israel they were from. They were startled that their secret language was known by others.

I explained that I was taking classes at a rabbinic school in London, and they asked if I was aware that many, many Jews lived in Israel.

I expressed polite surprise. Another note about Israelis--sarcasm does not go from English into Hebrew. Don't even try.

This was just posted on Jyllands-Posten

"It is a 27-year-old man who resides in Odense. He is a Danish citizen, but come from the Middle East, "said exploration director John Jacobsen.

Of course there has to be the obligatory "Unknown Motive Disclaimer":

Unknown motive

Thus he will not say whether the suspects have Palestinian background, like the police do not yet know whether the motive could be the intense fighting in Gaza between Israeli soldiers and Palestinians.

The 27-year-old turned himself in according to other sources, mostly due to his car being known to police, as well as his face as the shopping mall has intense surveillance which shows him clearly, thus avoiding the manhunt and the risk of cops shooting him on sight (he is known to be armed so the police will not take any chances, even here in Denmark).

It is still not known for sure whether the guy truly is Palestinian in origin or just an Arab from somewhere in the middle east, but it is known that he resides in Vollsmose in Odense, a ghetto area populated with about 85% Muslims, mostly from the middle east and some from Somalia.

Were the Israelis selling 'juice'? These may just be anti juice, pro soda zealot yoots. I wonder what was said in that 'middle eastern language', could it have been anything like allahu akhbar? Yeah, the Danish media might not want to relay that information, might make you think there was some kind of religious antisemitic islamic angle there. I pray for these two injured individuals and wish them a speedy recovery.

According to this : [Link: ekstrabladet.dk...]

A man have been arrested for 4 weeks, charged for the shooting.

He admitted to be the owner of the escape car and the owner of the gun that was used, but deny that it was him that did it.

It's a 27 year old palestinian, borned in Lebanon, but now danish citizen.
