Dozens of Arabs threw stone blocks, rocks and other objects at Jewish drivers near Sha’ar HaArayos outside the Old City, causing one driver to lose control of his car, which almost turned over before ramming into at least one of the Arabs.
The Arabs then ran to the car and attempted to carry out a lynch of the driver. A nearby police officer ran to the scene to protect the driver and his two passengers while firing his gun in the air to control the Arab mob.
A large number of police forces were called to the scene to disperse the crowd.
In a frightening glimpse of how little fear the Arabs have even of an armed police officer, the Arabs continued to heckle the driver and policeman even after the near lynch.

The two passengers were taken to Hadassah Har Hatzofim for treatment but the driver insisted on remaining at the scene by his car due to fear that the Arabs will set his car on fire.
The Arab hit by the car is seen in the security footage walking away.
Below, the driver can be seen holding one of the stone blocks hurled at him and his friends.

After the incident, the driver, Roi Mordechai, said that after his car almost turned over, an Arab stuck his hand in the window and sprayed pepper or tear gas on his face and body.
“My two friends were injured on their faces from rocks,” he said. “My face was burning from the gas and my hands are still burning. If it wasn’t for the police I don’t know how this would have ended. I’ve been living in the Old City area for six years and there have never been incidents like those of the past month.”
MDA provided treatment to the Israeli whose car was attacked in his car with stones near lions gate.

The New York Times and the media are falsely reporting the Jewish driver was attacked AFTER he hit an Arab pedestrian.
On this most Holy Day of יום-ירושלים the time has finally arrived to immediately implement the policy of the venerated Rav Meir Kahane הי”ד without further delay whatsoever to expel every single arab from Israel:- This insanity simply has to cease & stop immediately & become a thing of the absolute past.
Thank you WORTHLESS BIBI and the WORTHLESS ISRAELI GOVERNMENT
And in a related news story, Jews from all over the world are encouraged to move to Israel.
“Peace loving people who are being oppressed” says the media of the palestinians….Galus
I don’t doubt that he is a Jew and support him, and they are Arabs and therefore our enemies.
But I get the feeling that something is missing from the story. The video begins with the car driving erratically, already being chased by a mob. Where did it start and why? No one knows. Maybe the driver did something stupid to incite the reshaim? Why was he driving with his doors open all along? Obviously, once he drove into a few of them, of course they increased their attack. But what might have happened if he just calmly drove slowly along the road with his doors locked?
We must know that in certain situations we are a minority surrounded by enemies, and extreme caution is necessary.

Watch the video again.
You are grossly mistaken.
