Palestinians stoned far left Congressmen Elliot Engel and Gerald Nadler while they were visiting a Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives.
One baseball-sized rock nearly hit Nadler in the head.
Israel Survivor Updates reported on the attack.
Palestinians also have desecrated the cemetery in recent years.
Arutz Sheva reported:
United States Democratic Congressmen Elliot Engel and Executive Vice Chairman of the Conference of Presidents Malcolm Hoenlein were attacked by Arab rock throwers on Friday afternoon as they visited the Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives.
A large “baseball-sized” rock was thrown at the group, and just missed hitting Congressman Nadler. Both he and Rep. Engel are from New York. They spoke Saturday night at the International Committee for the Preservation of Har Hazeitim’s Emergency Forum on Violence at Mt. of Olives Ancient Jewish Cemetery.
“He’s fine. No one was hurt. I think they were waiting for their bus, and then a rock was thrown… and then Israeli police officers chased the person away. They didn’t catch them. Then they got on the bus and left,” said Nadler’s spokesman, John Doty.

Blacque Jacques Shellacque commented:
What either of these two say in the future, regarding the “peace process”, could be interesting.
They will either have learned something from this incident, or it will become obvious that had the rock hit either of their heads, it would not have made any difference.
Mary Hartmann commented:
For most, getting mugged while possessed with the liberal mindset would cause the sane thinking among us to reassess one’s positions. With those to whom liberalism is a religion, expect to hear that these rock throwers are “at heart good people; they’re just misunderstood.”
These leftists either ignore or don’t care that Muslims have a particular hatred – that’s hatred, not mere dislike – for Jews, this hatred coming directly from Islam’s core text the Koran and Mohammed’s lust for vengeance against those who rejected him and the dreams he “received” inside a cave.

Tough to believe a palestinian-terrorist-wanna-be would not recognized these two distinguished gentlemen as the allies that they are. Don’t bite the democrat hand that feeds you, hezbola. Of course, these guys were only over there because it’s an election year. Northeast Jews, they aren’t really with you. I hope you know that.

“Palestinian” “cult-ural” “heritage”.

moron commented:
However they see no problem with Palestinians lobbing daily missiles at Israel!! The only problem is when Israel defends herself. Libthink.
thebronze commented:
Good. I’m GLAD NADler got hit in the head with a Pali rock! Serves him right for being such a POS.
Sasja commented:
OT
This is not about politics, nor war. I saw this at WUWT and wanted to share it. I also wanted more folks to know about Ranger Rick and Crazy Bill. Two, of many, who travel through our world mostly shunned and never known except to God.

It doesn’t seem that the meeting went too well.
juandos commented:
The real question did these two seditious idiot learn anything about the ‘paleo-swine‘?
My guess is no and claim it was all Bush’s fault…
an observer commented:
Couldn’t happen to two more deserving jerks.
Gloria Gilson commented:
With good reason Nadler is often, with understandable reasons, called Waddler.

Throwing rocks at New York Socialist Scum? mmmmmmmmmm

set up…shear kabuki..I don’t buy it.
David commented:
Leftists are so mentally ill that the muslims could kill their entire families and they would become even more leftist
cali commented:
Let’s hope they got the message; their anti-semitism came back to bite them in their behind; couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch!
Clutch commented:
The only reason that i can see that they missed Jabba The Hut (aka Jowls) is that he appears to have lost a few tons. Must be cutting back on the feed trough in NY due to tought times.
JulieJ commented:
Nadler is a total, absolute jerk. Of course he and Engle will always, always support Obama. That is part of the larger problem of the Democrat problem: not recognizing what scum Obama is.
Stoney commented:
Nadler should donate that stone to the ground zero mosque foundation!
tommy mc donnell commented:
they don’t mind the rock being thrown at them, they understand the “underlying” causes.
xiphos commented:
The “headline” could have been simplified to “Far Left Democrats Stoned”.
After all, they certainly act like it.
Fuquay Steve commented:
i read the first few words of the headline : Far left democrats stoned and I thought it was redundant.
Fuquay Steve commented:
I think Nader passed that stone when he was pissing into a balloon (oops…wrong story, that was Denver).
P. Aaron commented:
‘Stoned’ as in ‘smokin’ a bowl?
Beef commented:

Damn, how’d they miss that fat head? Maybe they could use some of that money Obama is sending them to hire some major leaguers to teach them how to throw.
bobdog commented:
No, that’s not a stone he’s holding. It’s a wad of cash. I think he was trying to buy the cemetery, but the details of the offer are still rather fuzzy.
jorgen commented:
Are they for hire?
1RedBeard commented:
The most disturbing part of this story is that Engel and Nadler seemed surprised, even though it has been fools like the two of them who have been fanning the flames by supporting radical leftist causes.
It is a complete mystery why so many Jewish politicians keep hanging onto their leftist views, in direct opposition to the well-being, and the very lives, of Jews everywhere. The only satisfactory explanation is courtesy of another Jew, a man who can actually think for himself, Michael Savage. Whether one likes his bombastic style or not, he is most certainly correct when he calls liberalism a mental disorder.

Statehood for the hoods (kinda dated i know).
