| [IsraelTimes] Incident comes after several vehicles belonging to Paleostinians were vandalized overnight near the flashpoint East Jerusalem neighborhood A car belonging to a Jewish resident of East Jerusalem’s Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood was torched Sunday night, amid rising tensions in the flashpoint area. Security camera footage of the incident showed a masked suspect hurling a rock at the car’s back window before another tosses what appears to be a Molotov cocktail into the vehicle. A fire can then be seen in the car as the suspects run away. According to the Walla news site, the owner has had his car set ablaze seven times since the start of the year. The news site also reported that Molotov cocktails were thrown Sunday at homes of Jews on the outskirts of Beit Hanina, another Arab neighborhood in East Jerusalem. “We took these houses away from you Joooos in 1948, the only win of the Five Arab Armies in that war. How dare you think that Israel’s reconquest in 1967 allows you to take back what was yours, or create legal consequences for us refusing to pay the rents laid out in the legal agreements we then signed?” The incidents came after a group of masked suspects vandalized several cars owned by Paleostinians near Sheikh Jarrah overnight, before fleeing.Hebrew media reports identified the vandals as Jews. Who were responding to previous Arab attacks, etc. There were no reports of injuries in any of the incidents, nor the arrests of any suspects in connection to Sunday’s incidents."We will continue to act against violence of any type, rioting or acts of vandalism in the area and in general," police said. Last week, an Israeli Jew living in Sheikh Jarrah was stabbed as she accompanied her five children to school. Video released by police showed the attacker appeared to be a maiden of tender years. A 14-year-old Paleostinian girl, apparently a neighbor of the victim, was arrested under suspicion of being the assailant. The teenager denied any connection to the attack, her lawyer, Mohammad Mahmoud, told The Times of Israel. Even though there is video of her doing exactly that. No doubt Allah, one of whose names is the Father of Lies, had something to do with it. Sheikh Jarrah, a neighborhood a 10-minute train ride away from Jerusalem’s city center, has emerged as a symbolic flashpoint in the Israeli-Paleostinian conflict. Over the past few years, a handful of Jewish nationalists have moved into the mostly Paleostinian neighborhood, mostly through complex eviction cases.There should be some sort of consequence for not paying the agreed-upon rent for half a century...
