An Israeli teenager and his father were victims of Arab terror when they visit a dentist near the Arab city of Qalqilya in Samaria, JNS reports.
Liber Perez, 17, sustained multiple stab wounds to his upper body in the attack, while his father, Yosef Perez, 60, was lightly wounded in the arm. Both men are residents of Ofakim in southern Israel.
“For a year now, I have been coming to this dentist for treatment and everything was fine,” the father said. “I never thought something like this would happen.”
According to a report, a 15 years old Arab youth stopped them and demanded to know whether they were Jewish. The youth then allegedly drew a knife and stabbed Yosef in the arm.
Liber then pushed his father away in an effort to protect him “and quickly jumped on [the terrorist] with his head down,” Yosef told Walla. “[The terrorist] took advantage of his position and started to stab him in his back.”
Yosef said that the dentist, who was identified only as a Dr. Amin, fought to save them.
“The dentist helped us; he jumped on him and held him against the wall and hit him while we escaped,” the father said.
They went to an arab dentist in an arab village on shabbat. Why did they endanger their lives this way?
The dentist saved them. He was an Arab too. The guy is a hero.
Yes, the dentist did the right thing, and deserves all the credit for that. The fact remains that it was foolhardy of them to go to such a place to begin with. (And “race” has nothing to do with this; Arabs aren’t all that “racially” different than Jews. It’s rather got to do with their culture.)
Yes, the dentist did the right thing, and deserves all the credit he can get for that. But that doesn’t change the fact that the two Israelis were foolhardy for going there in the first place.
(And what’s “race” got to do with it? The same would be true if they went into a dangerous area where the locals were white, black or purple.)
Sounds like the only one bringing race into it is you. Yes, the criminal was an ARAB from an ARAB village. Those are the facts and they are important to know.
They went NEAR the Arab city, and it never said they went on shabbat.
Why is everyone in the story identified as being either Jewish (victims) or Arab (atrackers) besides the (apparently arab) who was a hero?
hes from the chasideie umois haolam
hes to be given a reward for saving his patients
there is light at the end of the tunnel
we need to listen to the rebbe mhm
and spread goodness and kindness to the whole world
we need to give the doctor a great reward
so all other good arabs should know that we will pay and reward good arabs
Thanks so much dear doctor you are my hero
