Arab Terrorists Try to Burn Jews Alive in Jerusalem

Arab terrorists hurling molotov cocktail firebombs at Jewish homes, trying to burn entire families as they sleep - it has become part of a routine of terror in the Israeli capital of Jerusalem, where a "silent intifada" has been raging under the radar of major news outlets.

A new video shows just shocking and potentially lethal the wave of terror has become; the video, uploaded to YouTube on Thursday, shows Arab terrorists from the Al Sawana neighborhood just east of the Old City, between the Mount of Olives and Hebrew University's Mount Scopus campus, lobbing firebombs at Jewish homes.

The terrorists can be seen charging the homes in the dead of night clutching their molotov cocktails, before releasing the bombs at the houses in large arcs and then turning tail to flee the scene.

Two of the firebombs are seen catching, setting alight the homes with blazing fires. Miraculously, the inhabitants were able to avoid the urgent danger.

But it's definitely a right-wing source - so take that into consideration when evaluating the content of the article.

Headline is a little on the hysterical side, but did it not actually happen?

They tore down banners.

In any case, all criminal activity should be prosecuted, be it tearing down a Palestinian banner or throwing a molotov cocktail into a house of Israeli Jews.

"Its fake"

It's funny - this is the same thing that other side says.

"It's all Pallywood fakery."

You guys are a mirror image of one another and don't even realize it.

The firebombing was picked up by all major Israeli news outlets - albeit with much less hysterical reporting.
