Israeli motorist runs down a Palestinian boy in East Jerusalem. Not really he didn’t.
In my old neighborhood in Fort Lauderdale, the 10-year-oldish punks would stand by the side of the road and then dart out at the last second. Either daring you to swerve or lock your brakes. Then they’d run and laugh.
Never slowed down a bit for any of ‘em....

We had a similar story several years back, and I still stand by the opinion I held then. Throwing rocks at cars is assault with a deadly weapon. Tough shit on these kids. Run them all down. Fuck, back up and run them over twice and pop their skulls. I don’t give a crap if they’re 9 years old.
Don’t buy into the western mental blinders of “innocent children”. These freaks come out of the womb holding knives and bombs.
For all you know their task was to block in the motorist so that some older terrorist could come along with an RPG or a a machine gun.
And what an amazing coincidence that a video camera was right there, filming the whole thing in perfect clarity.
Having now followed the link and looked at the pictures, I come to the usual conclusion: this is a rigged situation.
Notice that there are at least two cameras being used. What an amazing coincidence. One is ahead of the car, either out in the middle of the road or on the sidewalk beyond the apex of the corner. The other camera is several dozen feet to the left, pointing across the corner. That’s the photograph marked “EPA”. There are at least 7 youths involved in rock throwing, while at least 3 people look on the scene from that doorway/shop front on the left.
Notice the 3rd picture, as the front left end of the car dips almost into the ground as the driver tries to swerve out of the way by slamming the wheels to the right. See how Car Boy #2 has dropped the rock he was using to smash the hood with, and has “escaped injury” by dodging past the fender? Yeah, well look again more closely. Compare pic 2 with pic 3: Car Boy #1 has moved about a foot more in his flip-roll across the windshield, Street Boy in blue has taken at least 1, perhaps 2 steps backwards (note position of his right foot relative to the white edge of the crack in the edge of the crosswalk), Street Boy with the black pants next to him has stepped forward with his left foot as he winds up to throw the white rock in his right hand, and Street Boy 3 with the white hood has run a full stride forward with his left leg. All of this in the same amount of time that the car has moved less than 4 feet forward but 4 feet to the right (look at the license plate relative to the crosswalk stripes). And in this “instant” of time Car Boy #2 has only managed to shift his left leg around behind himself a bit while “dodging” the car that was mere inches from hitting him. BUT notice his right foot relative to the crosswalk: between pic 2 and pic 3 his body is in nearly the exact same position, just squatted down more ... yet his right foot has moved back 3 feet and several feet to the left. Was he being pushed by the car? No, he DODGED being hit. Not possible for him to have moved so much in what we are lead to believe was a split second of time AND for him to have so similar a body position.
Conclusion: the car was travelling very slowly. Maybe 5mph. If this was not a completely fabricated situation, then it was a true miracle.
Look also at pics 4 and 5. We’re supposed to be shocked and horrified as the two boys are “flung” by the violent impact of the car. BULLSHIT. In the “instant” between these 2 pictures Car Boy #1 has rolled off and is lying in the street. But Car Boy #2 is nowhere to be seen. Meanwhile Street Boy 3 with the white hood has run halfway across the road, Street Boy 1 has run nearly all the way across the road, and yet the “speeding car” has moved less than a full car length through the crosswalk (toward the camera) while moving laterally at least a full car length against the flow of the curve (driver dodges right even though this incident happened on a left corner). Conclusion: about half a second has gone by between the pictures; small children can’t run across the street - at least 5 strides for the boy in blue - any faster than that. It may have been been a full second (in which case cut the speeds I’m about to calculate in half!!) And yet the car has moved less than it’s own length. Call that about 12 feet because it’s not a big car. 12 feet in half a second is 24 feet per second, which is 16mph. Yes, fast enough to hurt someone if they were run down. But also slow enough so that some nervy boys could play stuntman and throw themselves across the windshield and hood.
BUT, and it’s a big but: the same rate of automatic picture taking here shows that between pics 2 and 3 the car moved only maybe 3 or 4 feet. When the children were actually “struck” by that crazed izzy motorist. 3 1/2 feet in 1/2 second is not even 2 1/2 mph. CRAWLING. After the “hit” the driver speeds up and runs away like your typical “cowardly joooooo”.This incident was rigged.
Want proof? Have the Izzies run down the license plate. Betcha half a halal pizza the vehicle is not registered to a jooooo.
Ok, I take part of this back. I think. Theo’s has the video, which I snagged, converted and enlarged. This was a total set up.
There are SIX photographers filming this “accident”, including the videographer.
The silver Subaru is directly in front of the bronze colored car at the beginning of the video. That bronze car does not seem to be moving at all, but the silver car really is right in front of it. I mean, the silver car could not have been going around the stopped bronze car; they were inches apart. Was it a bump start, or an arranged starting point? The silver car pulls forward and turns to the left a bit to avoid the kids coming at him
7 kids charge the car as it comes down the street. The 2 who got hit run straight into the car as it brakes and swerves harder to the left. Kid 1 pivots to the right and runs right at the car, throwing his rock into the windshield just above the driver’s head. Are izzy cars left hand drive or right hand? I’m assuming left hand, like America. Anyway, that’s where his rock hit; you can see the white mark in the glass. As kid 1 completes his throw the car hits him. Or he starts his leap. Your guess is as good as mine: his right arm comes down from the throw right onto the hood of the car. Perfect timing to lift his torso up, which is already leaning way forward from the throw. As the car “hits” him just above knee level he comes up on his toes. Is this from the impact or is he leaping upwards? Your call. But the car is going quite slowly.
As the impact progresses, the kid does a pretty good somersault over the hood, with a half twist. With his hands still on the hood, his legs flip around and bounce off the roof as the car now swerves sharply to the right. Only at this point does the back of his head contact the windshield, and most of that motion is sideways. With his forearms sliding across the hood, the kid goes sideways off the car as it turns nearly to right angles with the street and comes to a stop. Meanwhile the photographers are snapping away, and one (blue shirt with white stripes) even takes time out to throw his own rock at the car. The car drives off.
Throughout the entire 8 seconds, the sound of rocks hitting the car is nonstop. I think it was hit at least a dozen times. The car drives off, and we can see that the back window is broken in several places, along with the left tail light. And the windshield is damaged.
Next scene we see the little terrorists being loaded into some SUV to be taken for medical treatment. Now the bronze car has finally moved a bit and a white car and a blue car have appeared behind it. But in this scene you can see the photographers running about, ostensibly helping out. Note the huge telephoto lenses on their gear. Expensive stuff!
See the pics I added below the fold.
