Police also picked up 4 Israeli demonstrators who were yelling anti-Arab slogans after the attack.

Impartial justice…

Prime Minister Netanyahu and Jerusalem Mayor Barkat both called for severe punishment for the attackers.

At least until it’s time to release them in exchange for whatever comes up next.

Meanwhile, the victim, who sustained moderate injuries from the rocks thrown at her car, is improving. Dr. Eitan Kerem of the Hadassah Medical Center told Israel radio that he hopes the baby will recover completely and has not suffered any irreversible damage.
