What a chillul Hashem.
“who told police he thought all of the Arab victims were terrorists.”
This guy is obviously having mental issues just like the gay parade stabber.
Oh boy. Here we go. President Rivlin is going to have to cut short his space adventure and start a brand new apology tour. The chief Rabbi’s will have to go visit the victims in the hospital. We will hear from every Israeli politician “condemning” in the “strongest” terms such “outrageous” “provocation”. They will now be forced to arrest every living Kahana family member. I expect the Prime Minister to fly to Washington to personaly apologize to Susan Rice & John Kerry. Agudah & OU to follow.
And these idiots are worried about Iran???
