This settler was a TERRORIST. He drove palestinian workers to a factory...got out....grabbed the gun from a security guard...shot up the bus killing 2...ran to the factory and killed another person. His aim was to disrupt the pullout mandated by the Government of Israel. He was hoping to influence the outcome of the pullout using VIOLENCE. A true definition of terrorism.
THat is exactly the point: did he tell you what his hope was?
There is not a person among those people --- or anybody else for that matter --- that doubts the Israeli army WILL evacuate the settlers. Nobody thinks that he can reverse that decision at this point.
Further, even the dumbest terrorists prepare their attacks. This one did not. If he did, it would be easier for the killer to murder his passengers as he came to pick them up or after they started working. He killed them at a checkpoint where he ran the danger of being shot by Israeli troops.
Even simpler: the man HAD TO USE SOMEONE ELSE'S GUN. How many terrorists do you know that have ever done that?
Everything points to an act of desperation -- much like "going postal" in this country. Were those infamous mass murderers in our post offices also terrorists?
You are too quick to pin that label here, and I don't know why. Do you?
