FEARFUL ISRAEL ARRESTS HOUSEWARE MERCHANT IN OCCUPIED EAST JERUSALEM FOR SELLING KNIVES


Highlighting the irony when every gun- and knife-loving American becomes a pacifist supporter of gun- and knife control, opposing all possession of anything that could be used as a weapon when it comes to Palestinians living under Israeli occupation.


Israeli police arrest Jerusalemite merchant for selling knives

The Israeli police arrested a Jerusalemite merchant for allegedly selling knives to “terrorists,” Haaretz Hebrew newspaper revealed Wednesday.

According to the paper, Israeli police yesterday arrested the owner of a houseware store in Jerusalem’s Old City where an alleged “terrorist” purchased two knives before attempting to stab two police officers on Friday.

The merchant’s 9-year-old son and 16-year-old nephew were also detained and investigated during the raid. His son was then released after two hours.

The merchant was also subjected to tough investigation during which he was questioned about the reason of selling knives to the alleged attacker.

"I replied whether there was a law prohibiting selling knives", he said shortly after his release on Wednesday. The merchant was also denied access to the Old City for a week.
