Narrow Escape for a Jewish Repairman (Thank G-d for Kind Arabs)

Jerusalem resident Baruch Pruss, a Jew who works as a repairman, was spared from a near-lynch on Thursday. He was viciously attacked in the Arab neighborhood of Isawiya.


"I went into [Isawiya], I got to the house, I fixed the washing machine, and I started to head home," he recalled in an interview with Arutz Sheva's Hebrew-language news service. "When I walked out of the house, Arabs from the village who had been waiting to ambush me fell on me and began to attack.
"They threw concrete blocks and huge stones from the roof of the house I'd been working in," he said. Pruss ran back into the house and closed the door...

Ultimately he was saved by the kindness of elder Arabs in the village. Story at Arutz Sheva.

Oh. In case you forgot what a lynching looks like, here are some handy dandy pictures at the bottom of this site.
