Daghestan Chief Rabbi Shot

Hat tip Jihad i Malmö, Algemeiner and Jerusalem Post

You would think in light of the Boston bombing by the Brothers Tsarnaev that there would be more US coverage of this latest terrorist act. The chief Chabad rabbi of Daghestan (from where the Tsarnaev family emigrated to the US), Ovadia Isikov, has been shot and gravely wounded. Russian authorities assisted the Israelis in removing him to Israel for treatment. The below report is from Algemeiner

I have noted also coverage of this by Fox News and the Huffington Post. I initially caught it on the Swedish blog, Jihad i  Malmö.

There is little doubt that this was a hate crime, an anti-Semitic attack by Islamist(s).

Rabbi Ovadia Isakov, 40, Chabad-Lubavitch emissary and chief rabbi of Derbent in the Republic of Dagestan, is much improved following emergency surgery for injuries to his internal organs after being shot by assailants near his home.

Doctors at Beilinson Hospital in Petach Tikvah, Israel, have reported that the complex operation went “very well,” and the bleeding in the rabbi's liver has stopped. Isakov's condition has been upgraded to "satisfactory," and he was conscious as of Friday evening


Post-Surgery, Chabad Emissary in 'Satisfactory' Condition

But I guess it is ok to shoot this man or any Jew in Derbent, Republic of Dagestan. In the world it is now open season on Jews.

How does the adjective "hate crime" make attempted murder any worse than it already is?

Actually, how does one kill "with malice aforethought" without hate being an elements of the crime?

You sound like a blooming liberal, Gary.
