An Israeli man attacked an Israeli woman with an axe in Jerusalem on Wednesday, mistakenly believing she was Christian, Anadolu reported yesterday, citing Israel’s Channel 13.

According to the media reports, police suspect that the attack, which took place in Jerusalem’s Old City, was motivated by “hatred of Christians”.

Eyewitnesses told the channel that the suspect shouted “Christian” at the victim before violently attacking her inside her home, leaving her with severe injuries. The suspect then fled the scene.

    Controversial take for some probably, but these are probably the same people that think Islam is a violent extremist religion.

        With all the trouble Americans have caused the world, I can’t wait for you to advocate treating Americans as a mental illness, as well

              You can choose whether you practice religion or take it literally, but you can’t choose where your from or easily move to a different place. So no, your logic is dumb but I’m guessing you know that.

                Most people are born into their religion, so they didn’t choose it either. It’s also not easy to change your religion when everyone around you and your culture is based around that religion. So your logic is simply based on dumb ignorance of the world.
