Adam Everett Livix of Texas Arrested In Israel for Anti-Muslim Plot

Source: nbc news

A 30-year-old Texas man is being held in Israel for allegedly plotting to attack Islamic holy sites with stolen military material, officials said Tuesday. Adam Everett Livvix was nabbed in November as part of a joint probe by the FBI, Israeli police and the Israeli security agency Shin Bet, but his arrest was not revealed until his indictment this week.

Livvix, who was already wanted in the U.S. on drug charges, traveled to the Middle East last year and lived in Bethlehem and Hebron, where he posed as a Navy SEAL. A Palestinian operative tried to enlist him in a scheme to assassinate President Obama, Shin Bet said, but he balked. However, he allegedly did begin planning attacks on holy sites in Jerusalem, using explosives obtained with the help of his roommate, an Israeli soldier.

discovered the plot, prevented this guy from desecrating Islamic Holy sites and killing innocent people. Just like what would happen in other countries (which shall not be named here) if Jewish sites and Jews were targeted for destruction.

Oh...you mean there are no Jewish sites remaining in these countries? And no Jews? Please forgive me. I erred.

since you aren't interested in a list of the cafes which were bombed post-Shabbat, or buses blown up at rush hour in Israel's cities, or any other atrocity which has occurred within their borders. So we are even.

Exactly how does an assclown like this get into the Israel? I thought Israel banned everyone who was known to be shady, plus a bunch of other non-shady people just because they could??
