A Palestinian gunman shot and injured two Israeli men who were working at a shopping centre in the Danish town of Odense, 105 miles west of Copenhagen. Both Israeli men were in their 20s, according to police spokesman Lars Thede, who refused to speculate on the likelihood that the shootings were a response to Israel’s attacks on Gaza.
Although the gunman escaped in a vehicle, Danish police arrested a 27 year-old Palestinian man the following day and charged him with attempted murder. The man had turned himself in. The two victims had only been in Denmark for a week. They were selling hair products at the Rosengaard Centre in Odense, and had been harassed several times by a group of men, according to the Ritzau news agency. The mall was packed with holiday shoppers when the shooting occurred.
The shooter is a Danish citizen who was born in Lebanon. He pleaded innocent to the shooting but admitted he possessed a gun. The judge then ordered the rest of the hearing to be held without any media presence.
The two Israeli men are recovering from their gunshot wounds, which were not life-threatening. Chief Inspector John Jacobsen told the Ritzau news agency that they were looking into every possible motive for the attack. But seeing as Israel launched an offensive against Gaza five days prior to the shooting, the motive would seem to be clear.
Achilles Alexander, the Israeli government is a pure evil only matched by the Nazi government.
You are both full of hate just like the Hamas you seem to represent with your voice. Hamas are like mischievous children who taunts kids bigger than themselves then run and hide under their mothers skirts when they are confronted. Why are they hiding behind the Palestinian womens skirts and children if they are so brave and strong? They should fight in the open if they are really protecting their own people. Whatever the history of the land is over and done. Israel will stay and they have to live in harmony with the Palestinians. Palestinians have to settle down and find another way of negotiating with Israel instead of the never ending bickering and senseless killings. Hamas cannot deliver peace and prosperity to the Palestininans, only violence and misery. That is why they have to go. Hamas is not concern about their own people it seems. Action speaks louder than words. The Israelis just want to live in peace. Hamas is a government of terror and hate and must be replaced by another who cares about the Palestinian people instead of sacrificing them like sheeps. Hamas wants war and they got it. Now, who is suffering. War is hell and nobody wants it. But, Hamas thrives in it, thats why they want it or they will be insignificant in this world. The Palestinians need a change of government they can believe in. Hamas failed the Palestinian people and they failed themselves. Rhetoric will not solve their problems only logical solution and that is stop acting like children and grow up and face reality. Stop your hate mongering. Maybe Hamas need to take anger management class just like you guys do.
Achilles Alexander….you have obviously not read the report.
The man was from LEBANON and was a citizen of DENMARK.
The peace can only be achieved when Israel releases the Gaza strip and goes back to the aranged borders.
Anyway the fact of the matter is Israel has no claim to the land apart from the bible.
They walk in and start genociding the place.
And the big hypocrytical Usa backs them.
Long live Israel.
And its sheep the Usa.
What are you trying to say exactly? I see that you state the Palestinians are hypocrites because two civilian Israelis were shot. I’m assuming you find this shooting to be horrible, just as any shooting of civilians. But, what does that imply about the Israeli people? Aren’t they not hypocrites as well? By your logic, peace can only be reached when the Israeli people arrest and kill their government.
Oh, that’s something you failed to mention in your earlier statement. Why? Because Achilles Alexander, you are the only hypocrite in this story.
This is another example of how barbaric and uncivilized the Palestinians are. Complaining about killing innocent civilians and they are the ones who are doing it. Trying to kill people that are not even in the area of conflict. I have no sympathy for people who are hypocrites like them. Peace can only be achieved in Gaza if the Palestinian people will arrest all Hamas militants and kill them all so they can live in peace with Israel.
