Israel police question 3 women over Jerusalem assault

BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Israeli police have questioned three women in relation to an assault in Jerusalem last week on a Palestinian women.

Israeli police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld told Ma'an that one female from a West Bank settlement was questioned Sunday evening in relation to the incident, while two women turned themselves into police on Monday.

Police are investigating the circumstances of the assault in Jerusalem, Rosenfeld added.

Last Monday, a group of Jewish women attacked a Palestinian woman while she was waiting at a light rail station in Jerusalem and beat her severely, Israeli media reported.

The victim of the assault, identified as Hana Amtir, told Israel's Channel 2 television on Sunday that four women had approached her and asked if she was Arab.

After telling them she was, they spat on her and one of them started to shout "Arab, Arab," Haaretz reported.

"At that stage they pushed me onto a sign that was there, they began hitting me with their fists and kicked me in the stomach and in the back. They are animals," she said.

I hope that those responsible for this horrendous & clearly racially motivated attack on a defenseless woman, are not just investigated, but that justice prevails & the perpetrators are brought before the courts. What is even more sickening, is that whilst here were many people standing around watching the attack, including security personnel (according to eye witness reports) virtually no one chose to intervene & stop it. Bravo to those few people that documented this attack & helped the victim

' "...They are animals," she said.' No -- just Zionists.

just as well the camera showed this - otherwise it would be one of many abuses ignored.

I don't doubt a word of Hana Amtir's story. The Orthodox are sociopaths, almost inevitably given the diet of evil rubbish they're raised on. I think these women felt safe, being well inside Israeli Jerusalem (at the Central Bus Depot) and surrounded by "more than 100 Orthodox Jews including Yeshiva students" who watched and did nothing! And I think they were ginned up after Purim, which ended the night before, with visions of the great vengeance of Mordechai (on 75,000 innocent Persians!)

(contd.) dancing in their heads. And a vague, demented sense of their duty to seek out and harrass the descendents of Amalek and King Agag and Haman the Agagite! In extreme cases like this one, these people are certifiable!
