Jewish Settler opens fire on Palestinians in the West Bank: Fox News Breaking Story
Getting ugly. :0(
"are wary of possible violent Arab reactions to the shooting"
Like they ever needed an excuse.
I don't know what that is, but I do know that
"That will lead to the loss of UN support for Palestinian terrorism and justify a new Israeli hard line policy."
is silly - the UN nor it's member states will never drop support for Islamic terrorists.
Which "terrorist affiliations" are those? Kach and Kahane Chai disbanded in '94, and Natan-Zada was too young to have been involved with them. In addition, those orgs both opposed the sort of actions taken Natan-Zada.
When you do hear about it, it's always their fault. I'm at odds with myself about this. I don't know what justification the man had for grabbing the gun and shooting those people, but this is not a normal situation.
All infants are innocent. But as soon as they reach a toddler age, their moms and dads try cuicide belts on them. By the age of 7 he is already totally zombified by school teachers, textbooks, radio and TV and the entire environment. Not that it's the kid's fault, but he is a ready-made terrorist.
Update on the shooting:
A Binyamin area resident opened fire upon Arab workers at the entrance to the Shilo industrial zone Wednesday afternoon, killing three of them.
The shooter, Asher Weisgan, transported the Arabs to and from work every day. They were in his car after the day’s work when he stopped at the guard hutch as he does every day to get their ID cards upon leaving the industrial area. When he returned to the car, he pulled out his gun and shot at the Arabs in his car without any warning or apparent reason. Leaving them there next to the guard hutch, he apparently returned by foot to the industrial area and shot another Arab worker in the factory.
There are three dead and two injured, who were taken to a Jerusalem hospital by Shilo’s ambulance.
Reports of Weisgan threatening the guard in order to take his gun are incorrect. The man had his own gun in his possession. The reason for the attack is not yet known.
Police, army and local community security forces are wary of possible violent Arab reactions to the shooting. Precautions are being taken to safeguard the residents of the Jewish communities.
I agree.
Christians should be alarmed about how our brothers and sisters are treated in both Israel and Palestine.
It seems many in the Christian community have, in the past ten years, become the biggest champions of a people who are not saved by their own Scripture.
It is one thing to encourage people to grow to know Christ. It is another to fanatically turn off one's brain and say "All is well". It isn't.
Which "terrorist affiliations" are those? Kach and Kahane Chai disbanded in '94, and Natan-Zada was too young to have been involved with them. In addition, those orgs both opposed the sort of actions taken Natan-Zada.They didn't disband, they were banned. They were banned for defending and excusing Baruch Goldstein. Shin Bet would disagree about their current nonexistence.
Kach's current leader appears to be a man named Itamar Ben-Gvir.

People really get their panties in a knot when Jewish people fight back. Did you know that people can be both conservative and racist at the same time? /sarcasm
Dog bites man, not news. Man bites dog, news.
"Scrappy"
Whatever that means. Maybe the first American slang word I will learn not from TV. What I mean is they maybe skinny or obese, but the are hjumans like you and me, not Biblical Davids or Maccabis. And like you and me they want to enjoy a piece of normal life today. Impossible uner the circumstances.
Glad you asked. In America casual speech (not really slang) a scrap is a good knock-down drag-out fight. A person who is 'scrappy' would be one who has the heart and the will for a good fight when all else fails.
And your English is excellent.
Coming soon...
I'm not comparing the machines, I'm comparing strategy, behavior, policy, and goals. Hitler wanted to pursue national expansion in the late 1930s and the initial response of some leaders was to attempt to buy him off with appeasement in the hopes that he would be satisfied. He wasn't and demanded more and more until it was clear what his real goals were. Does anyone here think this handover will satisfy the Islamist extremists who crave the destruction of Israel?
If Sharon thinks that this handover is going to be the end of it he is mistaken. If he thinks it will allow him to justify a hard line against the Palis with an already skeptical world he is mistaken. If anything, the opposite is likely. You'll have the UN and the worldwide media pointing fingers like, "Gee, you were able to hand over Gaza, why not Jerusalem?".
