| [Ynet] A 37-year-old police officer was moderately injured by a terrorist stabbing in the area of the Lions' Gate in the Old City of Jerusalem. The police said that the terrorist was shot and later pronounced dead. The terrorist, Mohammad Abdullah Salim al-Kasji, a 57-year-old Jordanian citizen, arrived in Israel a week ago via the Jordan River crossing in Beit Shean. MDA reported that at 01:21pm, a man was stabbed near the Lions' Gate in the Old City of Jerusalem. Upon reaching the scene, the paramedics found a 37-year-old police officer with stab wounds in his upper body. He was taken to Shaare Zedek Hospital in the city and was fully conscious. The police reported that the terrorist was neutralized at the scene, and was later pronounced dead. According to an initial investigation, the terrorist was walking down Shalshelet Street in the Old City and noticed a policeman walking towards him. The terrorist rapidly approached him, pulled out two knives he had in his possession, charged him and stabbed him. The police reported that the officer responded with determination and professionalism while he was maimed, and managed to neutralize the assailant. Jordan holds Israel responsible for killing Jordanian terrorist [Ynet] In a statement issued today, State Minister for Media Affairs, the government's front man, Mohammad al-Momani, said the Ministry of Foreign and Expatriates Affairs is following-up, through the Jordanian Embassy in Tel Aviv, on the killing of Jordanian citizen, Mohammad Abdullah Salim al-Kasji, to find out the details and circumstances of the incident. "The Israeli government, as the occupying power, bears responsibility for the shooting and killing of a Jordanian citizen in the occupied East Jerusalem on Saturday," the government said. The government condemned as "terrible" the crime committed against the Jordanian citizen and demanded Israel to reveal the full details of the crime.

| #4 In those days there was no Palestinian identity, Charles, but there definitely was an Arab one, Muslim and Christian alike. And given that the Jews were ethnically cleansed from the Muslim world, including as far away as Pakistan, in the 1950s, it would have been fair to insist on a fuller exchange of populations, as happened in India/Pakistan. As it was, an unknown number of Jews were killed in the process, some 600,000-800,000 made it to Israel, and the rest scattered, mostly to Europe and North America. We had a nice little population of Persian Jews in Buffalo, NY when I was a girl, who'd moved there after finding Montreal (they all spoke French, too) entirely too cold. |

| #3 I most certainly don't agree with that ethnically cleansing bit Grom. I repeat. The notion of "ethnic cleansing" is a modern invention used (solely) as a stick to beat their opponents* by Tranzi elites. In 1948, nobody would say a word. For that matter, doesn't the Tranzi's beloved program for "Israeli-Palestinian Peace" implicitly includes ethnic cleansing of Jews from Judea & Samaria? We've seen it. It is beyond horror. We see it every day - just pay attention to newspapers. I don't notice particular horror - except when it done by people "we" don't like anyway. * Ask all the Serbs who used to live in Kosovo. Or, Christians who used to live in Iraq. Or Russians who used to live in 'stans. |

| #2 I most certainly don't agree with that ethnically cleansing bit Grom. We've seen it. It is beyond horror. Islam, and the Paleos, don't really HAVE any set ethnicity to cleanse anyway even if you were inclined. Now, taking off the kids gloves and leveling towns/cities against the combatant's/Scum I could get behind. Until we're ready to accept hundreds of thousands of dead Civilians caught in the crossfire, I don't think we'll ever get rid of the rot. |

| #1 Jordan holds Israel responsible for killing Jordanian terrorist IMO, the second* biggest mistake in Israel's history was saving the Hashemite regime from Palestinians in 1970. If we just stood aside, Jordan would be a "Palestinian" state today. *The first was not ethnically cleansing Arabs in 1948 and repeating in 1967 - cause the concept of ethnical cleansing didn't exist then (just ask Sudetendeutsche). |
