The Jerusalem District Court sentenced David Mizrachi of Kiryat Arba to three months' community service for running over a terrorist who stabbed his wife. Mizrachi, 57, was convicted in June of serious assault as part of a plea bargain, and the sentence was handed down Tuesday.

The incident took place at the gas station at the entrance to Kiryat Arba in November of 2009. The terrorist, Wasim Maswada, came to the Paz gas station armed with an axe and a knife. He entered the convenience store that Mizrachi ran along with his wife, Tamar, and stabbed Tamar in the neck with the knife. She called her husband on the phone and said "I am being stabbed!"

The terrorist then accosted a man who was fueling his car and stabbed him in the back of the neck. A security guard at the station fired at the terrorist and hit him. Three soldiers then approached Maswada and stood guard over him, but he got up and tried to stab the soldiers. They fired several bullets at his legs and he fell to the ground, wounded.

According to the charge sheet, at a certain point Mizrachi arrived, got into his car and drove toward Maswada. He asked the soldiers – "Is that the terrorist?" – and they answered in the affirmative. He then drove back and forth over him until the soldiers forced him to stop. The terrorist has since recovered from his injuries and is to stand trial for his offenses.

“Stop! Stop already! That can’t be good for your suspension!”

later...

“Doctor! Doctor! We’ve got a holey man in ER!”

“What’s his problem?”

“He’s tired like you wouldn’t believe!”

Thanks Eleutheria5.

According to the charge sheet, at a certain point Mizrachi arrived, got into his car and drove toward Maswada. He asked the soldiers -- "Is that the terrorist?" -- and they answered in the affirmative. He then drove back and forth over him until the soldiers forced him to stop. The terrorist has since recovered from his injuries and is to stand trial for his offenses.

He was like a son to me, and that was Ashura, so not having a knife, I used a car.

Systemic differences are always interesting. You'd never get off with a suspended sentence. And you'd get sued up the kazoo by the terrorist. On the other hand law enforcement would never shoot him in the legs to block an escape, effective as it might be. They well might not shoot at all, if they did he'd probably be dead. He'd sue them too.

He can do his community service as a method actor in The Rachel Corrie Story.

I wonder if I could get community service after my extensive crime spree committing mayhem, robbery, carjacking, and being an idiot?

Hey! The precedent has been set.

For a moment, I thought the community would be doing a service in his honor.

It should have been.

Good grief, the terrorist stabbed the guy's wife.

He should get a medal for having the chutzpah to stick up for her.
