East Jerusalem terror cell charged with planning attack on wedding hall

The Jerusalem District Attorney's Office on Wednesday filed an indictment with the Jerusalem District Court against an alleged terror cell of four east Jerusalem residents for planning to attack the "Nof" wedding hall in Bayit Vagan, Jerusalem.

The cell included Anas Ouisat, Basel Abidat, Ahmed Sarur and Amru Abado of the Jabal Muchbar neighborhood all between the ages of 19-21, said the indictment.

-snip-

The indictment's details were as follows: Ouisat and Abidat decided in December 2013, based on nationalistic motivations, that they would carry out an attack against Israeli civilians in Jerusalem and in coordination with terror groups.

Ouisat suggested a shooting attack on the Nof hall both because there would be a large number of casualties, between 800-1500 attendees, and because he had previously worked there.

The Passover massacre was in a hotel ballroom and the Dolphenrium was a teenage discotheque .

A Wedding hall ?

the bombing of a wedding celebration is an attack civilians, the bombing of the King David hotel was the HQ of the British military for the mandate of Palestine and Transjordan.

see the difference? One a military target, the other a civilian target. One given warning about the bombing, the other an attempt by suicide bombers to kill civilians, and as many as possible.

it always makes me laugh.

There is no difference. Terrorism is terrorism. Murder is murder.

Glorifying one while vilifying the other is a fools errand.

The military and civilians that were murdered had families.


Murder is murder.

Certainly no massacre occurred and may not have even occurred period.
It also was not a terrorist attack.
Seems people will have to fall back on The King David Hotel...
Or the USS Liberty -- everyone's favorite .

police responding to rioters throwing rocks and molotovs? Please explain how they are equivilent.

anyway some facts
Police responded to riots after the funeral and did not just attack a funeral.
Police did not enter the mosque they were on the Temple mound responding to rioters throwing rocks and molotovs.

Trouble broke out after the funeral in the West Bank of a Palestinian who died of wounds on Thursday after being shot by Israeli soldiers during a confrontation two weeks ago. More than 5,000 people attended the ceremony but afterwards a group of about 100 mourners threw stones at Israeli soldiers, who responded with tear gas and rubber bullets, a military spokeswoman said.

The others were going to a wedding to commit yet another massacre .

Probably best to stick with King David Hotel from many decades ago like other posters in this thread.

USS Liberty is also a good fallback option.
