Why are they dragging and pulling this terrorist?! Shoot the mamzer! Don’t give me this “mentally disturbed” garbage! Where is Rex Tillerson???
Neutralize? ??? Huh???? What exactly is neutralize?
In israeli talk, neutralise means catch and release. Notice how the arresting police and civilians risked being stabbed rather than shooting the perp in the head – they are more afraid of the judenrat courts than they are for their lives.
