Arab Woman Stabs Guard at Israeli Checkpoint
German translation (in deutscher Sprache).
This video is really cool. It's pretty hard to find. It was posted mysteriously to Youtube a few times, but it kept getting taken down. The only place I could find it was on the extreme rightwing pro-settler Israel National News site, which, by the way, is an excellent source of information on the region, especially the radical politics and low-scale war going on there.
The video was apparently shot by Israeli police, and that's probably who uploaded it.
A 21 year old Palestinian woman is waiting to be searched at a checkpoint at the Israeli Apartheid Wall. The checkpoint was at the Kalandria Crossing.
I guess she is trying to enter Israel or maybe she is just moving from one Palestinian town to another as the Wall does not run along the actual border, and many Palestinians need to cross the Wall just to go from one Palestinian town to the other.
You see her waiting to be searched. She's young and has a nice-looking body, but we can't see her face well since she has a scarf on. The guards are all young Israeli men probably around her age. You see her reach into her pants and withdraw an object, apparently a large knife.
As soon as it is out, she lunges at the guard and stabs him! She hits him very hard, specifically at a place where his vest does not cover. She is immediately tackled by other guards. She was arrested, and charges are unknown, though attempted murder would be appropriate. The guard suffered mild to moderate injuries.
The attack occurred in the context of a prisoner exchange with Gilad Shalit being exchanged for 100's of Palestinian prisoners, but the prisoners with blood on their hands must go to exile in another country outside of Palestine.
