Rescue by the IDF


A survivor of the mob attack on five American Jews recounted the harrowing ordeal Thursday evening. "They were screaming 'Jew, Jew, Jew," he said. The Jews wanted to pray at the Cave of Machpela but the satellite navigation system landed them in an area controlled by Arabs.


A Palestinian resident of the neighborhood helped rescue them and sheltered them in his apartment. Fayez Abu Hamdiyeh, who lives in the neighborhood, said he let five Jewish “settlers” into his house after he noticed they were being chased by Palestinian youths. He said the “settlers” told him that they had entered the neighborhood with their car before being pelted with stones. Abu Hamdiyeh said he used the mobile phone of one of the students to phone the police and ask for help.

How empty and pathetic are the lives of these lowlifes that this is what gives them a sense of enjoyment and fulfillment. No motivation to go out there and earn money... raise a family.. be a productive member of society...none of the above - just a life so full of hate.
