Man en route to Israel arrested in connection with stabbings in 3 states

A man being called a “person of interest’ in a series of killings and attacks in three states was arrested as he was about to board a flight to Tel Aviv.
The man has been identified by the Washington Post as Elias Abuelazam, 33, a Christian Arab from Ramla. Abuelazam reportedly was living legally in the United States and may be a dual citizen. He was last in Israel six months ago, at which time he reportedly was involved in a brawl in Ramla.
Abuelazam, who lived in the United States for several years as a child, was arrested Wednesday night in Atlanta, a law enforcement source told the Washington Post.
Nearly all of the attacks, which include at least a dozen non-fatal stabbings and five deaths, involved dark-skinned victims, either black or Latin American.
The crimes have not been linked by forensic evidence or DNA testing, but the unprovoked attacks all have similarities, according to the Washington Post.
The attacker has been described as a tall, muscular white man wearing a baseball cap who either approached his victims from behind or asked them for help to get close, the newspaper reported.

Why is this a story for a publication called the Jewish Journal? This guy is not Jewish, nor are his actions informed by Jewish education or values. He is an Arab. Oh, wait a minute, ABC news says he of Arab descent, not an Arab. So it is impossible to figure out what he actually is. Also he was described a a white man. But for the progressive set, Arabs are officially brown, which is officially better than either white or black. What a dilemma!

This is JJ’s political correctness at its best. Since you proclaim to be a Jewish paper, your readers might be very interested to know the suspect’s name is Abu el-Azam, a Christian Arab from Ramle
