While the UN devotes its human rights operations to the demonization of the democratic state of Israel above all others and condemns the United States more often than the vast majority of non-democracies around the world, the voices of real victims around the world must be heard.

Two Israeli men, one in his 40s and the other in his 20s, died of their wounds Saturday night after being stabbed in Jerusalem's Old City in a terror attack.

The younger man's wife was in serious condition and their two-year-old baby was lightly wounded. The mother was taken to Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem and was undergoing surgery. The toddler was taken to Shaare Zedek Medical Center for treatment where he remained in stable condition.

The men were stabbed in the upper body and were unconscious when paramedics arrived at the scene.

The father was taken to Hadassah Hospital Mount Scopus where he died of his wounds shortly after the attack. The second man was taken to Shaare Zedek Medical Center where he also died Saturday night.

When the attack began, the injured woman managed to run and alert a group of Border Police forces nearby who arrived on the scene and shot and killed the attacker.

In video footage that emerged Saturday night after the attack, a woman's screams can be heard followed by gunshots.

The baby was hurt in the leg, although it was not entirely clear how. Police said the attacker may have grabbed a firearm the father was carrying but it was not clear if he managed to fire it.

The incident occurred near Lion's Gate in East Jerusalem.
