Six People Killed by Palestinian Attackers in Jerusalem Before Hero Steps In; European Leaders Face Criticism

Palestinian terrorists originating from Judea and Samaria (renamed the “West Bank” by Jordan in 1950) opened fire on an Israeli bus in Jerusalem on Monday, leaving at least six dead. 

The attack began when the terrorists boarded the Line 62 bus and began shooting passengers with “Carlo” machine guns, rudimentary weapons that take little expertise to manufacture. Dozens were hit in the process. Multiple videos showed people running for their lives.

Amid the chaos, an armed Orthodox man rushed to the bus and began to engage the terrorists. It’s not known whether he was the one to actually neutralize them (pictures of them dead on the sidewalk exist), but there’s no doubt that his heroic actions saved lives by putting the killers on the defensive and stopping their advance. 

In released security camera footage, you can see him taking cover behind the bus and eventually entering a side door, returning fire. You can see another civilian running up to assist as well.

Hamas immediately praised the attack while its propaganda arms claimed “20 soldiers” were killed or wounded. As of now, four of the six confirmed dead have been identified. Two were rabbis. None were soldiers, not that it would have somehow made this terrorist attack any less evil and depraved. 

Hamas media is celebrating as well.

They’re calling the victims “soldiers,” even though they were just civilians.

Not that it would lessen the evil of this attack—but it’s yet another example of how these demons constantly twist the narrative. pic.twitter.com/xRMMXXu5tS

Astonishingly, in the aftermath, French President Emmanuel Macron chimed in to offer his “condolences” while shamelessly spewing Palestinian propaganda.
