"She said she did not believe his attack was motivated by extremism. "He really didn't hate Jews."
"Jerusalem attacker once had Jewish girlfriend" by Matti Friedman, Associated Press Writer | July 4, 2008
JERUSALEM --The Palestinian who went on a deadly rampage on a Jerusalem street this week had spent years in a romantic relationship with a Jewish Israeli woman, relatives said, a rarity in a city where such ties between Arabs and Jews are nearly nonexistent.
In an interview with an Israeli paper Friday, the woman, identified only as "S," said the attacker, Hussam Dwayat, fathered her child, now 7 years old.
Dwayat was married to a Palestinian woman, Jamileh, 20, with whom he had two young sons, 3 and 5. But a previous girlfriend was a Jewish Israeli who at one point even stayed with his parents for 1 1/2 months, said his mother-in-law, Hoda Dabash.
"They were engaged, until her family took her away. They didn't like him," Dabash told The Associated Press.
When you get right down to it, the Zionists are the most racist of all!
The former girlfriend told Israeli media that the relationship began 12 years ago and lasted more than five years. In an interview published Friday in the Israeli daily Yediot Ahronot, she said Dwayat fathered her son shortly before the relationship ended.
She said she did not believe his attack was motivated by extremism. "He really didn't hate Jews. The fact is that he was with me. It's insanity, but the motivation was not nationalist," she told Yediot. "The problem was that he smoked a lot of drugs. Maybe it's because of that."
She said they broke up because Dwayat became abusive. "He would really hit me hard, but I still loved him. I was willing to convert to Islam for him," she said. She said she eventually pressed charges and he served time in jail. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld confirmed Dwayat had served time in prison, but would not say for how long or on what charges.
They two not been in contact since a few months after she gave birth, she said, adding that the child does not know Dwayat was his father. Instead, she registered him as the son of a man who she subsequently married and divorced. The woman lives with the child in a West Bank settlement near Jerusalem, the paper reported.
The newspaper did not explain why it did not identify her. But it was likely she maintained anonymity to protect herself and her son from anyone who might be outraged by their relationship to the attacker. The woman's story was consistent with other descriptions of Dwayat that portrayed him as distant from the typical profile of an ideologically motivated attacker.
The Israelis who stopped Dwayat by shooting him heard Dwayat shout "God is great," an Arabic phrase used by Islamic militants as a battle cry.
LIARS!!!!!! Zionist liars, and CUI BONO?
WHO wants a WALL UP?
But there has been no indication that Dwayat was connected to any militant group, and the usual trappings of premeditated militant attacks, like a videotaped last testament, were absent.
Residents of his neighborhood, Sur Baher, described Dwayat as an unpopular troublemaker with drug problems. The morning after the attack, female relatives began shouting "martyr" outside Dwayat's home, but his father, Taysir, quickly silenced them. Taysir told Israel's Maariv daily that his son was a drug addict and not a "terrorist."
On Friday, defense officials said Defense Minister Ehud Barak instructed the military to prepare to demolish Dwayat's home and the home of another east Jerusalem attacker who killed eight Jewish seminary students in a shooting spree in March.
And CUI BONO, 'eh?
By the way, what the Israelis are doing is a MAJOR WAR CRIME?!
How come the U.N. doesn't answer its phone?

More on Barak and his order:
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - "[Israeli Defense Minister Ehud] Barak has ordered the army to start a process for obtaining demolition orders for the terrorists' houses," said a Defense official, who declined to be named.
Menachem Mazuz, the attorney-general, gave his legal response following a proposal by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Thursday that Israel should destroy the homes of "every terrorist from Jerusalem" after a Palestinian killed three Israelis in a bulldozer rampage.
I'm not even gonna say it, readers.
Some 20 people live in the home of the attacker who killed two women and a man in Wednesday's bulldozer rampage. They said they had no prior knowledge of his intentions.

So why must 20 people pay for one man's crime, readers?
Zionist Israeli justice is NO JUSTICE at all!!!
