Jewish Settler opens fire on Palestinians in the West Bank: Fox News Breaking Story
Will the shooter be identified as an insurgent, or freedom-fighter?
He has grievances. He has been humiliated. The World has not paid attention to his problems. He's a militant. There needs to be a road map to satisfy his needs. He's hoping to get $50M from George Bush as a down payment on $Billions.
Why not? Terrorism works.
I'd laugh if I didn't believe that to be true.
Yes they will.
I saw a news report on FOX news yesterday that the UN is not only funding humanitarian aid to the Palestinians, but is also funding the Palestinian campaign that has as it's slogan: "GAZA today, Jerusalem tomorrow." Did anyone else see that report too? The UN has expressed "shock" at this and is "investigating". Oh really?
So, if Jerusalem is rocked by shells and car bombs, don't expect the UN to lift a finger to stop it.
Come again?
Since you weren't there, you don't know what happened.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
That was my point. No one here knows.
What a scummy thing to say --- you sound just like the leftist media!
This is the BEGINNING? Go check some statistics, learn about Arabs taking hostage preschoolers in early 1970s and ending standoff with throwing grenades at the kids.
Israelis are born, live and die under siege. They have endured war after war and terrorism for decades. You, who lives in the Land of the Free and cannot go to bed without a candy bar cannot even comprehend what it is like.
Almost every person in the street has a gun and yet how many murders do you hear about, whether of Jews or Arabs? We, proud Americans, inflict much more violence on each other than do Israelis. By what standards do you judge them? What standards lead you to speak equally of "innocents will be killed from both sides"?
The "innocent" Palestinian Arabs harbor, support and encourage multiple terrorist factions in their midst. Innocent Israelis have a democratic government.
With conservatives like you, who needs leftists and their media?
A people who retreat and do not have the will to defend themselves will cease to exist. The next step for the Palis is to push forward with another set of 'demands' which the United States will probably insist that Israel submit to. Palis will demand Jerusalem and the Temple is what I hear. Constant retreat. I'm praying all day for Israel.
I read somewhere that the government had built a trailer park or something for those being "evacuated" (thrown out) of that one settlement in north Gaza. There was a story about a family who had built, with their own hands and with their own funds, a home in the one settlement, a four-bedroom home that was nicely appointed with well-kept grounds and gardens, being forced into a three-bedroom double-wide with half the space, parked on top of a sand dune. Sharon basically said to these people, tough cookies, start over. This to the father of the family in his late fifties who had worked almost 20 years to build his home in the settlement (ironically with the encouragement of the Israeli government at the time), as if he has another 30 years in him to rebuild what they had.
I don't know about you, but to me, it seems like a raw deal. I don't blame these people for feeling that their government has sold them out in a (probably) vain attempt to appease their enemies.
Utterly disgusting that a couple of out-of-control nutcases can undo in one instant all the fine work that the truly peace-loving ZAKA has been doing for years.
Oh, you're a Jew - then you're outta here! I can't believe this is happening to the Jews . . . again.
It's about 4.5 shekels per dollar.
The attacker will be given the harshes punshment Israel can give.
The Israeli politicians will fall all over themselves apologizing and begging forgiveness.
The Arabs will demand great concessions
There will be calls for revenge
Some future Arab terror group will attack in multiple offinses and claim revenge.
