Wishing the victims a refuah shleimah
In the video, did one of them make a today slitting gesture to some random Arab? That’s inexcusable.
#1 THE GUY WAS JUST STABBED!
@#1- As much as it’s easy to sit in the comfort of home and castigate the action of a victim, in the heat of the moment- when all Arabs are in the “attacker” box- such a gesture can definitely be understood, albeit not condoned. Political correctness is another term for “lack of seichel”- most situations aren’t cookie-cutter, to have the same broad brush be applied…
Ash,
It looks like he made a slitting motion, he may have been showing the bystander what was just attempted to be done to him. Even if not, I think inexcusable is too harsh. He was just stabbed in an attempt on his life, many people would be reacting even more vehemently to the people cheering on the attack!
