Palestinian shot dead after Jerusalem attack kills two

Seems like a fair headline:




And, they weren't alone:



In case you're wondering, the Palestinian who was shot and killed was the attacker who killed to Israelis.

 

Just celebrating a good guy with a gun.

 

Those are indeed ridiculous headlines. And by organizations that should know better.

 

Seems arbitrary. I wonder what caused this.

 

Well, you could go to that Facebook page, or you could be one of the 3,500+ people who have "liked" the page dedicated to the Palestinian murderer:

‎الشهيد البطل مهند الحلبي‎

 

Should've killed him with a lulav, or etrog. It *is* Sukkot.

 

It seems clear to me from the headlines that the attacker was the Palestinian.

 

Sounds like it could be a revenge killing.

 

OK, now I get that.

 

Palestinian woman brings knife to gun fight:

A Palestinian woman stabbed an Israeli Jew in Jerusalem’s Old City on Wednesday, just hours after the lifting of restrictions on Palestinians entering the disputed Al-Aqsa Mosque compound brought in after last week’s fatal attack.

The 18-year-old Palestinian woman attacked the 35-year-old Israeli man with a knife near the Western Wall, close to the site of Saturday’s fatal stabbings which claimed the lives of two Jewish men.

The injured Israeli man then pulled out a gun and shot the assailant, seriously wounding her, Israeli police told The Telegraph. It was the third knife attack in the city in less than a week.
