A Palestinian driver plowed his car into a crowd of Israelis in Jerusalem this morning, wounding 8 people and killing one.
After getting out of his car, he began attacking people with a metal object, before police shot him dead.

There is no excuse for such a cowardly and despicable attack on civilians. While the Israeli government regularly inflicts abuses against the Palestinian people in the form of home demolitions, harrassment at checkpoints, turning a blind eye to violence by settlers but gunning Palestinians in the West Bank down when they throw rocks when the army comes into their villages and towns, and all of that is nothing compared to what was done in Gaza... that does not in any way, shape or form excuse of justify the murder of these people.
They were waiting for a bus. They had fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, children- like every other person in the world. And their lives were horrifically damaged... and one was ended... this morning. By a person filled with hatred, who was too much of a coward to challenge soldiers so he chose civilians instead.
May God have mercy on the person who did this, and those who put him up to it.
May the people on both sides one day live in peace and justice.
