"Only red meat conservatism, not political correctness, will help paint the map red."
An American tourist was brutally stabbed to death in Israel as she hiked with a friend who says they were attacked by a pair of Arab men.
Israeli officials found the body of Christine Logan, a U.S. citizen whose age and hometown were not immediately released, Sunday morning outside of Jerusalem. She had been bound and stabbed multiple times.
Logan's friend, Kaye Susan Wilson, who hails from England but has lived in Israel for decades, was also bound and stabbed numerous times but managed to escape.
Wilson, 46, said the two men had attacked with murder in their eyes.
"They came to kill," she told Israeli news agency Ynet from her hospital bed.
She said they had been hiking in a mountainous area between the southern Jerusalem suburb of Tzur Hadassah and the nearby town of Beit Shemesh on Saturday when the men approached.
"Two Arabs passed and asked, 'Do you have any water?'" she said. "I felt something was wrong. I turned to [Christine] in English and told her something doesn't feel right and that we should return to the path."
Wilson said she pulled out a small knife, but the men followed and quickly gained the upper hand.
"They came and attacked us. One of them pulled out a very long knife - like a bread knife with a sharpened edge," she said.
She said Logan immediately offered to hand over all their money and jewelry but the men seemed to have other intentions.
"They took everything. One of them took the Star of David necklace off my neck like a gentlemen, and then stabbed me 12 times," she said. "Nobody walks around with a knife like that for no reason."
Wilson said she played dead and when the men left, she bolted until she was able to find help.
A massive manhunt was launched, and Logan's body was found Sunday morning alongside a road. The killers were not found.
