Residents of the Maaleh HaZeitim neighborhood, who have been under regular attack by Arab rioters, filmed a police car running away from Arab stone throwers last night in Jerusalem, Israel’s capital.
One resident told News 0404, “If they’re running away, who exactly will protect us… Instead of going forward…and pulling their guns and arresting a few of the rioters, they simply ran away.”
Arabs have been rioting in Jerusalem since the summer, and in the neighborhood of Maaleh HaZeitim, Arabs have been launching fireworks and throwing stones at Jewish Nursery school children.
As Maaleh HaZeitim is one of the hot-spots for Arab violence, it is not clear why the police in the car would not be prepared to deal with it.
