Palestinian man wounds eight Israelis in Tel Aviv

Israeli sources report that a Palestinian man attacked a crowd of Israelis outside a nightclub early Monday morning, stabbing several of them with a knife.
The stabbings came after the man stole a taxi, then ran over a Border Police officer near the nightclub. A barrier had been set up by Border police outside of the Tel Aviv nightclub ‘Hoamin 17’ for a big party attended by 2,000 people. The attacker drove through the barricade, then jumped out of the vehicle and began stabbing both police and partygoers, according to the Israeli police.
One employee of the nightclub told reporters with Ha’aretz newspaper, “We saw the taxi run into the barrier and we ran to help. We thought it was an accident.”
Border police added that they originally thought the driver was drunk, and drove through the barrier by accident. But when he pulled a knife and stabbed people with it while shouting ‘Allahu akbar (God is great)’, they say they realized it was a politically-motivated attack, and subdued the man.
He was taken to a Tel Aviv hospital with wounds sustained when Israeli border police subdued the man. Israeli authorities confirm that he is currently undergoing interrogation by Israeli intelligence services.,
According to Israeli police, the attacker, who resides in Nablus in the West Bank, hailed a cab in the city of Jaffa, south of Tel Aviv, and then stabbed the taxi driver in the hand and stole the taxi.
The attack comes after a week of deadly Israeli airstrikes on Gaza that killed eighteen. A shooting attack against Israeli soldiers and civilians in southern Israel the previous week was initially blamed on Palestinians by the Israeli authorities, but was apparently carried out by Egyptians.


An occupied people subjected to assassinations, murder and systemic cruelty; has the Right to make acts of reprisal or revenge against the perpetrators, excluding civilians.
So, under International Law, he is but a man fighting for national liberation from a criminal occupation beginning with the war of aggression Israel started in 1967.
The occupying forces and settlers must leave completely, forever. Even pre-67 borders are an injustice. The UN had no right to grant half a country to a special interest group united in stealing land and murdering the rightful owners and residents an established political entity.
Look at the history, the Palestinians have every right to acts of reprisal. The Israelis are war criminals attempting genocide of the Palestinian people, the evidence is beyond repudiation by the weapons used and pretext invoked; to say nothing of the bellicose hate speech of rabid rabbis and nut-job generals and political leaders.
