Interesting word-choice in this Haaretz report. The front page headline and a quote in the text call it an attempted "sacrificial murder."
Isn't that what we've been seeing all along, really? A new form of human sacrifice? Jihadis on video tape removing the heads of their non-believer victims to appease and please their god and mothers sacrificing their children as shahads for the cause...just human sacrifice isn't it? If the Aztecs had CD-ROMs...
Haaretz - Israeli Arab admits attempting to kill Jewish man
On November 16, a 23-year-old Jewish man from the West Bank city of Ariel was stabbed in his back while waiting in a bus stop at the Geha junction in the center of the country.
The man said the stabber had a Middle Eastern appearance and an Arabic accent.
Earlier this week, Mustafa Mahajna, 28, arrived at a police station in the Dan district and admitted he was behind the failed murder attempt.
Mahajna said he had mistakenly taken the man, who was wearing military trousers, for a soldier, and that he wanted to grab his weapon and open fire on nearby people.
Mahajna explained he "wanted to carry out the sacrificial murder because of his hate for Israel."
The Magistrate's Court extended Mahajna's remand until Sunday.
"They built high places for Baal in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to sacrifice their sons and daughters to Molech, though I never commanded, nor did it enter my mind, that they should do such a detestable thing and so make Judah sin." -Jeremiah 32:35
