The Jerusalem Bus-Station Bombing: A Chilling Reminder to Us All
National Review ^ | 3/23/11 | Guilio Meotti

Posted on 03/23/2011 10:22:52 AM PDT by Nachum

The daily diet of hateful Islamist propaganda has had its intended effect. A terrorist attack has struck the Jerusalem bus station: At least 25 people were hurt and one woman was killed after an explosive device was detonated in a phone booth near the Convention Center. (Snip) The Israelis are the only Western population forced to live with their eyes turned to heaven, sending their children to school by different buses. (Snip) A new Facebook page calling for a “third intifada” was just created — on Sunday afternoon, the page had nearly 140,000 “Likes.”

Ping!!!

I had never heard of the writer of the posted piece, Giulio Meotti, but he does a good job of getting at the crux of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and does so without mincing words. The Jerusalem bus station bombing is merely the latest of countless terrorist incidents in Israel motivated by the sheer hatred of Jews and western civilization so prevalent in the Moslem world.

They don't need to "find a way". In the minds of the leftist and the muzzies (kindred spirits ala Hitler/Stalin-1939) Israel is ALWAYS to blame.

Statement by the President on Bombing in Jerusalem

I condemn in the strongest possible terms the bombing in Jerusalem today, as well as the rockets and mortars fired from Gaza in recent days. Together with the American people, I offer my deepest condolences for those injured or killed. There is never any possible justification for terrorism. The United States calls on the groups responsible to end these attacks at once and we underscore that Israel, like all nations, has a right to self-defense. We also express our deepest condolences for the deaths of Palestinian civilians in Gaza yesterday. We stress the importance of calm and urge all parties to do everything in their power to prevent further violence and civilian casualties.

“Third Intifada: Via Facebook”

SNIPPET: “Well well, will you look at that. A Facebook page calling to a Third Intifada. Thought I’d bring it here before Facebook blocks it, God forbid. It saya, among other nice words: “After the Tunisian Intifada, the Egyptian Intifada and the Libyan Intifada, it’s time for a Palestinian Intifada. The first Palestinian Intifada was in 1987, the second was in 2000, and we’ll publish the date for the third Intifada on this page soon. Can’t wait. Oh, and it ends in “If Facebook closes this page, all the Muslims will boycott Facebook forever!” Doubt that Facebook will hold that long, but the main thing is the intention.

Now, following the ambitious comparison with the Tunisian-Egyptian-Libyan uprisings, I have a little question about the goal of this noble quest: Whom do they want to kick out?”

We pray that we do not realize that “here we go again” back to the 2000-2005 slamic massacres.

ADDING to post no. 7:


INTERNET-HAGANAH.com: "INTIFADA = GENOCIDE" (March 29, 2011)

TERRORISM-INFO.org.il - THE MEIR AMIT Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center: "BDS, an umbrella network striving to boycott Israel, is holding a global "Day of Action" in solidarity with the Palestinian "Land Day" on March 30. BDS links the boycott of Israel to the popular uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt, but without mentioning the uprisings in Iran, Syria and Libya." (March 29, 2011)

That bus station reminds me of an airport it is so large and beautifully built. It is full of airport like shops and coffee places etc. It is the main transportation hub of Israel.

May we never forget that Israel NEVER targets civilians, NEVER attacks unprovoked. Islam rarely targets military targets, they are too hard, they PREFER to target women and children.

On the block I lived on in Jerusalem there was the Prime Ministers residence, and a block away the Presidents, a block down the street was the Vice Presidents house. But they chose a pizza parlor, the Moment Cafe. I could hear the screams of the people burned alive in the blast from my apartment.

They celebrated with a block party on learning they killed or blew the limbs off of 14 people.

Do not forget that they call America “The Great Satan”, Islam is a death cult, WE are its primary target.

Israel’s only curse in this is that they live closer...
