[PHOTO LINK BELOW] Three children were injured as a result of being struck by a vehicle in Betar Illit on Sunday afternoon on Darkei Ish Street. It appears the motorist, said to be an Arab, jumped a sidewalk while traveling in reverse, not seeing the children and their mother.
The children were crossing the street or about to, accompanied by their mother. It appears they were crossing at a non-designated crosswalk. Police are questioning the driver.
The children were transported by paramedics to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem. According to reports, one is listed in serious condition and one moderate and the third light. No names are available at present for tefillos.

The one who is in serious condition is a 3 year old child. Hashem Yirachem!
This incident appears to have been an accident. Given that, why was it necessary to bring up the (alleged) driver’s ethnicity?
If the driver had been a chareidi Yid, would /that/ have been dragged into the story?
Somehow I think not.

Welcome to the Yechiel Spira “my opinion is news” style of “journalism”
It is very important if it was an Arab or not. Would you say the same thing if it was one of Hitlers henchman?
I agree with Englisher Yid.
