In Israel we are all too familiar with Arab terrotism. It's not the first time that an Israeli woman, man, child or old people were stabbed by Arabs. The motive is always "nationalist" - meaning the victims are attacked by the Arabs only because they are Jews.

Israel has to deal with the death cult of Islam as the cause of much crime but here in the US it's just the normal everyday thing. http://averyheavystone.blogspot.com/2010/12/real-life-america-122010.html

and it would be irresponsible journalism to leave out the victim's opinion and testimony because you didn't agree with it. To her, they were Arab-looking. Ynet never made a claim one way or another - which is actually the way real journalism USED to be and not laden with opinion pieces like Haaretz, MSNBC, Guardian, etc. have become. And why should YNET give equal time to Arab lives vs. Jewish lives? Most times, if an Arab is killed they are "Palestinian" and not a citizen of Israel. I doubt Syria prints all the news coming out of Lebanon - they have their own issues to worry about. Now if a Jew gets attacked, it's a citizen of Israel AND an indication of the on-going Arab racism against Jews which has repercussions on events in this region. I remember many times when Israeli Arabs were injured in a car accident or attacked by "Palestinian" terrorists and they were the center of whole articles, so your claim of discrimination is just Leftist hogwash.

missing friend and tour guide who gave a description of the assailants

What are talking about? I was born in Tunisia and we never called ourselves Arab Jews...It is a contradiction in term since both Arabs and Jews designate 2 different peoples....Don't know who invented this daft term!

violence this is miniscule. but this is the israeli news media. so one can expect for such news to be published here and for israelis to care. maybe you should ask yourself why you are here and not in some african news site reading about whats really important? been caught ha?

you say youre paleestinian, dont you know you dont even exist? who cares about your opinion?

The founding fathers mistakenly thought that if we give them running water, toilets and schools they will be faithful citizens! Guess what the original founder Hashem said in the Torah that they well be like thorns in our eyes So who was right?

Mizrahi identity has been preserved at the social and economic peripheries, not as a distinct cultural orientation, as a diffused sense of origin and solidarity, fueled by persisting marginality and hardship.

maybe neither her missing friend ? so, whoever did it, maybe this wasnt a "religious"-motivated attack at all ?

Arab conquest of Israel (and north africa, rest of levant by the way) and first massive occupation by Arabs... therefore for every arab town you try to point out there was a Jewish one before who residents were either murdered, forcibly converted, or ethnically cleansed. Jew=Judea Arab=Arabia You get the point.

Are you implying that this bloody crime could have been done by any other then the pali terrorists? That was some "approach" and by some "youth"... I just wonder chamas or fatah? You don't need to play the village idiot here, eporue.... And to Salma@ #10... "Glad" to witness your moment of bliss...But peace will come to Israel, only when you and yours will go back to Jordan,where you belong...

Jae, if you made aliyah a few weeks ago howcome you still write US as your country on your talkback?

There is no hospital in or near Beit Shemesh. The closest hospitals are in Jerusalem. The injured woman must have gone to one of the several medical aid clinics " at the edge of Beit Shemesh"

no matter who did that or why, the modesty squad or arab g*ngb*ngers or just some looniez get them and get them fast! who cares about motives, when it comes to find an endangered human being as quickly as possible??

It is their land. Who cares what some moron in San Diego thinks?

you mind your own business . No one in Israel is telling San diegoans what to do with their city ....

Aline, dont mind Observer, he has a fixation with the term "Arab Jews" & Mizrahim & Ashkenazim.

The word "daft" is can be used by any English speaking person from anywhere in the world.

WOW James!!! following your bigoted anti semitic logic... you live in sand diego... you live on MEXICAN land stolen in a ILLEGAL war!!! give it back or mexicans can legally KILL you. So can the INDIANS you STOLE the rest of THE USA from. Now!!! please take your antisemitic a** to german owned and anti israel haaretz where the rest of you bigots are welcome. take your good friends salma, nour, mark and others with you... now leave bigot boy!

Hope they find her alive and well. They should allow every israeli Jew to carry a gun.

First, the same thing can happen here in the U.S., with women who are not deemed faithful enough. Second, they make up only 5%-7% of the Jewish community as a whole. Third, there no such thing as an "Arab Mizrahi" as you put it. For the correct definition see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mizrahi_Jews Forth, what's your point? Why do you always make unnecessary attacks upon Israel? Actually I already know, it's a rhetorical question, I' worried you might not be bright enough to figure that out. Please keep contributing to the posts, you illustrate the typical anti-Israel writer/hater. It's good that people see what blind hatred looks like, thanks!

sadly many Europeen volunteers women for palis find themselves in that position. sad but true.

if You want my opinion, It's a fiction story.

killers are killers regardless of ethnicity; No need to mention unless you have hidden motives.
