[NY Times] Amid heightened tensions over an important holy site, two drivers, in separate incidents, plowed their cars into Israelis on Wednesday, and Jordan recalled its ambassador from Israel.
Israeli police said at least one of the crashes, in which a Paleostinian drove into pedestrians in Jerusalem, killing one and injuring a dozen, was "a terrorist attack." In the second incident, in the West Bank, a driver who has yet to be identified ran over three soldiers, injuring them in what the military suspected was another deliberate attack.
| Yes, it was. Running over Israelis is all the rage among the Palestinians at the moment. Nice of the Gray Lady to notice. |
If it was, the crash would be the third such assault on pedestrians in recent weeks, raising fears of a possible new Paleostinian intifada, or uprising.
| No judgement from the NYT journalist about whether or not it's a bad thing to kill random people, one of whom happened to be Druze, and not Jewish at all. But 100% a proud Israeli, which clearly is beyond the understanding of the New York Times. |
