Yes, It's Deja Vu Time Again, Terror at the Bus/Train Stop

It's a cliche already to call a vehicle a weapon, and most people groan when they hear it and shrug their shoulders, but unfortunately, the Arab terrorists have been taking the saying very seriously. Today there was another terror attack when an Arab terrorist from Shuafat, an Arab neighborhood in Jerusalem took a heavy vehicle and mowed down innocent people crossing the street and waiting for the train.

An Arab driving a van killed one person and wounded some 14 others, several critically, when he slammed into pedestrians and vehicles at two points along the capital’s light rail line midday Wednesday, according to Army radio.The fatality, a Border Police officer, and the wounded were crossing the street when they were hit by the speeding vehicle, according to Israel Radio.
At one point, footage from a light rail security camera shows the white Volkswagen van hitting pedestrians as it rushed down the tracks.

As soon as I saw this picture on top I shivered. I remember a facing a wall when I was injured in the first such terror attack about eighteen years ago barely a kilometer from this attack. Nothing's new, unfortunately. At least the terrorists who killed and injured innocent people were immediately executed in both attacks.

I am very pleased that recent Arab terrorists have been killed. That is what should happen. No one I know wants our tax money to be spent on housing them, feeding them, their medical care or legal expenses. And we certainly don't want terrorists to be released, no matter what or whom we would get in return.

As my friend and I were on our way home, out of Jerusalem, we noticed this man walking along the Old City Walls, most probably from the site of the terror attack.

If you know him, please tell him thanks.

PS The attack!
