It's Wednesday, the day after a crazed man went on a rampage using a bulldozer in a suicidal attempt to kill and maim innocent Israelis. In the end, 16 civilians were injured before the terrorist was shot dead.


He was NOT crazed, and this author should know better than to use such wording. According to Jpost reports, he was an Israeli Arab in disgrace with his family and society for a criminal background, who had been recruited by the terrorist groups - given this chance to rehabilitate his reputation and die a glorious shahid - by killing some Jews.

Really, if you don't know the background, just say that a "terrorist" did a "terrorist attack". It covers the bases.
