Meat cleaver-wielding Palestinian

Ed Driscoll brings to our attention the biased reporting of in-the-tank-for-Hillary New York Daily News, on whether or not the latest jihad terror attack was in fact a terror attack.

MOVE ALONG CITIZENS, NOTHING TO SEE HERE: Meat cleaver madman, a Palestinian, was in Midtown to appeal deportation order before he sliced cop, the New York Daily News reports:

The meat cleaver maniac who hacked an off-duty cop is a Palestinian busted two months ago while screaming in Arabic outside a Brooklyn synagogue.

Suspect Akram Joudeh was only in New York for Thursday’s Midtown rampage because he was appealing a deportation notice — with a hearing set for Oct. 14, a high-ranking NYPD source told the Daily News.

Warning — cognitive dissonance ahead!

Cops found two knives inside Joudeh’s car after answering the July report of an erratic man on Shore Parkway in Brooklyn shout “Allahu Akbar!” — or “God is great” in Arabic.

But the source said investigations by the NYPD and FBI showed Joudeh, 32, was emotionally disturbed and not a terrorist threat.

Especially not in an election year. (See also: Minor Libyan unpleasantness on September 11, 2012.)
