Another Bulldozer Attack in Jerusalem

Middle East • Views: 2,029

Another Palestinian ran amok with a piece of heavy equipment this morning in Jerusalem, attempting mass murder but only succeeding in getting himself killed: 2 cops lightly hurt, terrorist shot dead in Jerusalem attack.

The BBC, as usual, rushed out with a headline that portrayed the Palestinian driver as a victim: “Tractor driver shot dead in Jerusalem.”

Initial signs are pointing away from the possibility that the driver was a Buddhist: Jerusalem: Bulldozer plows into police vehicle; terrorist killed.

Jerusalem District Police Commander Nissan Shaham recapped the event: “At approximately 1:10 pm we received a report of a terror attack taking place at Menachem Begin Boulevard. A Jerusalem Highway Patrol car was first to arrive at the scene and saw the bulldozer attempt to crush the police car and then lift it up.

”The officers shot the terrorist and neutralized him. Seconds later, a cab driver who pulled over fired as well, as did another police officer who arrived at the scene, and a force volunteer. The driver was critically injured, taken off the tractor and rushed to a nearby hospital, where he later died of his wounds. We found an open Quran book in the driver’s compartment.“

You know, those terrorists might want to rethink this particular weapon of choice. It's similar to the guy in San Diego several years ago who drove a stolen tank on the 163. Once the dust settles, it just looks really pathetic.

Another day, another terror attack attempted. Just you watch that the US calls for the US to call for Israel to make further concessions - like reducing security and easing checkpoints - the very things that have kept Israelis largely safe. All to get the touchy-feely diplomats to say that they're moving the peace process along...

Never mind the Israelis put at risk from such actions.

Never mind that the terrorists have not stopped plotting attacks.

Never mind that Hamas and Islamic Jihad have not stopped firing kassams and mortars into Israel since the end of Operation Cast Lead (six more fired today).

Israel must make concessions is the mantra of the diplomats, and Israel gets pushed into a corner all while the terrorists cheer the mayhem and chaos caused by these terrorists engaging in attempts at mass murder.

Hamas cheered this latest attack.

And Israel is supposed to make peace with Hamas?

23 Diamond Bullet  Thu, Mar 5, 2009 8:40:27am

This is a disproportionate response. The Zionist forces should have at least permitted the driver to kill someone before they shot him. Also, they shouldn't have shot him, but should have fought back with their own tractor like a live stage performance of Rock 'Em Sock 'Em robots.

See - if the recipients are Jews, its questionable if its a terror attack.
If the recipients are not Jews - yep, terror attack, as anyone can see from the headlines dealing with the terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan cricketers.

Frankly I don't see what all the fuss about the headline is about. "Tractors" and "Bulldozers" technically dig earth as a part of their purpose -hence "digger". I think you guys are making a mountain out of a mole hill.

I didn't say any such thing.

Show me one example of where I said that.

It would require a massive leap in judgment to assume that's what I meant.

She will find a way to maximize the death of a terrorist as a victimization. Re the insurance? Not a clue! I would hope that their home would be bulldozed. Each time there is another 'incident', and sadly there will be, it would take a Martian not to recognize that a 'two state solution' is an oxymoron. This cannot be accomplished. The enemy wants all of Israel, and nothing less, and in their delusion, it will be made Judenrein.

The terrorists are looked upon as victims by the world because the press so vilifies Israel. What it would take for them to wake up? I no longer even have a clue. It has been thus since I was 10, and the State of Israel was declared. And now we are cursed with a president who is an enemy equally dangerous as Jimmy the Jew hater, and in some ways far worse, as The One has blind, gormless. followers who are enemies of Israel and are in his pocket.

I'm sure a follow up investigation will reveal it to be a Brown and Root bulldozer.

Not a Caterpillar?

When will we be rid of this scourge of inanimate object attacks.

Why do I see an analogy here between this event and what's Obama & Co. is doing to The Country?

106 AreaMan  Thu, Mar 5, 2009 10:10:04am

The media mostly call these machines "Bulldozers". But in all 3 cases they are "Front loaders". A bulldozer has tank tracks and a flatter blade which scrapes the earth. These front loaders are wheeled and have a deep scoop that can be lifted to load a dump truck full of earth or gravel. Or it can be used to lift a bus or car.

There's a goodly amount of construction in Jerusalem these days. The city is putting in a "Light rail" system and other roads are being improved. Front loaders are all over the city.

All of these incidents have the air about them of "Suicide by cop" in that there is nothing they are trying to accomplish other than killing a few random Jews, and no means of escape. In Jerusalem, attacking random vehicles (including buses) is likely to kill some Muslims too. That doesn't seem to make a difference.

And somebody should figure out why the Arabs driving dump trucks and cement mixers haven't tried to kill anybody, but the front-loader drivers are rife with malevolence.

re: #106 AreaMan

Remember, if they're killed while attacking Jews, they get 72 virgins, or raisins, or virgin demons, or whatever they think is so great.

He should haved used a "Hands-Free Koran" or "Bluetooth Koran".

They he would have had both hands on the steering wheel.

"We found an open Quran book in the driver’s compartment."
Coincidence!

Speaking of computer attacks, I wish some technical genius on this site could tell me why even signing in to this site the command achieves only a circling icon indefinitely until I click to something else, such as away from the thread I am reading. To comment now I'll have to click onto the front page or some other thread for it to post; then back to see that it has, etc.

On topic and having visited in Israel and intending to return SAP, I would like Israel really get tough and disregard the international hand wringing about how the poor Palestinians are treated when Israel is defending itself. If anyone believes that Islam is going to stop it's jihady trend any time soon for any reason they had better go back and study history. Nothing Israel gives these bastards is going to be enough and if the disengagement from Gaza is not the best example there is then "the world" is a fool.

March 15th I will be attending a rally of the Christians United for Israel in Lakeland, FL and hope that all LGF readers in the area will consider going, Christians and Jews, and seculars that support Israel. For details go to the web site [Link: www.cufi.org,...] click on Events, Calendar, go to March 15th, Night to Honor Israel and click on that for details.

This thread has many damned funny lines. A good comedian could run rampant with these lines.

But, seriously, why is the world obsessed with drivers?

re: #14 Golem Akbar

He was just a book salesman, durned Joos.

He just wanted to get his commission: 72 virgins. I'm sure he's very disappointed right now.

In other news, the Rachel Corrie Memorial Squash Blossom Necklace will be making its debut in jewelry stores.

Now stop that! This is a serious thread!

UPDATE 5:29 PM

Israel Radio reported at 5:00 that police found an open Koran in the bulldozer. I'm shocked. Just shocked.

re: #77 buzzsawmonkey

BTW, saw a clip last night on PBS of Hillary making her pronouncements. She looked terrible--and, frankly, not to happy to be saying what she was saying.

I find myself wondering whether she is having a David Brooks moment, and realizing just what a vat of excrement she has jumped into.

She has her eye on 2012 and will say and/or do anything to advance her goal of being the first female president.

So sad for the driver; he'll have to make do with recycled virgins. It's tough all over...

What was that Steven King story about the machines that came to life?

Perhaps only the front-loader assembly line was infested with the Christine demons...

Too bad that with the quality of Medical Science and Research in Israel nobody has come up with a pill for SUDDEN JIHAD SYNDROME. Guess we will continue to need the services of Messrs. Smith & Wesson.

I'm just glad it wasn't a creationist driving.

NO, it was more like the folks shaving or applying make up as they drive, he just got carried away and forgot he was at the wheel of a twenty ton machine. That Koran can be so addictive. Heck, millions of sheeple actually believe the garbage on its pages.

122 cimom  Fri, Mar 6, 2009 4:41:42am

Someone should ask Hillary how she can support the Palestinians when they threaten children:

"The bus was full of girls dressed in Purim costumes en route to cheer up patients at Hadassah hospital, according to the Zaka rescue and recovery service. "

How can anyone have a daughter and not feel sick about this?

123 drool  Fri, Mar 6, 2009 8:46:59am

There's accuracy in the media for you. That's a loader-backhoe....not a bulldozer.
