    The 31-year-old woman set off the explosion in her vehicle, critically wounding herself and lightly wounding the officer.

    It was the first use of an explosive device in the current round of violence, which has mostly consisted of stabbing and shooting attacks against Israelis in Jerusalem, the West Bank and elsewhere.

    The Shin Bet says a police officer motioned for the woman to stop after noticing her trailing a police car. When the officer spoke to her, she said “God is greatest” before exploding the gas canister.

    The security agency says handwritten letters were found on her person that praised Palestinian “martyrs.” It says the woman is a resident of east Jerusalem but lives part of the time in the West Bank.

    All of these sick “Palestinians” are just vile scum and terrorists. They’re beyond all hope for rehabilitation. Why must we be so patient with them? Uviarta hara mikirbecha. Israel should do onto them as should have been done to Amalek.

    In China when the muslim terrorist in 2013, filled a gas canister at a fuel station in Xinjiang and then drove eith members of his family to tianiman square in Beijing, and set the canister alight and blew himself up along with his family, at the same time killing some five innocent bystanders, the Chinese government passed a law that every single gas station in the xinjiang province (which is predominantly Muslem) had to construct a ten foot high barbed wire wall around it, and a soldier guards each station 24/7, and it is prohibited to fill any gas canisters.
    After that law was enacted, there was no incident since involving a gas canister. ISRAEL to be strong like China at this period of time must ban all Arab vehicles from its roads, since they are to be considered giant gas canisters, and has potential to cause tens of deaths on Israels public roads.

    No one ever said these people were too intelligent. After all, the only contribution they’ve made to the world is the number ZERO. HOW UTTERLY APPROPRIATE.
