In October 2015, there was an upsurge in violence across Israel incited by Palestinian political and religious leaders. The wave of stabbings, known as the “Knife Intifada,” was characterized by young Palestinians throughout the country stabbing and attempting to stab Israeli civilians.

Abutineh continued: “Yall literally will kill anyone if you think they're Palestinian.” 

Abutineh added: “Yall so blood thirsty yall stabbing each other cause yall so blind you can't tell the difference between yall dumba**es and falastinis [Palestinians].” 

Abutineh went on to say: “Literally you guys don't give a s**t about life.” 

Abutineh concluded: “But hey ya know what goes around comes around and I got faith that yall gonna get yours in the afterlife.”
