(08:50) Two dead in attack on Jordan Valley teachers' transport
By The Jerusalem Post Internet Staff

A minibus transporting teachers through the Jordan Valley was attacked by Palestinian terrorists in a drive-by shooting around 8:20 a.m.

Two people are dead and four wounded in the shooting which took place 300 meters south of the Adam Bridge junction, not far from the border crossing into Jordan, reports The Jerusalem Post's Margot Dudkevitch.

Magen David Adom has only confirmed that one victim, a female teacher, was mortally wounded and died on the scene.

Terrorists in a vehicle with Palestinian license plates reportedly drove past the minibus and opened fire with assault rifles.

The driver was said to be seriously wounded in the attack and additional victims were wounded in the crash which occurred in the wake of the shooting.

MDA emergency medical personnel arrived on the scene within minutes of the shooting and minibus crash.

The IDF has dispatched a helicopter to the scene of the attack to evacuate the wounded to Haemek Hospital in Afula.

The terrorists fled the scene.

Well, if you decide to take another look at Jesus, you will probably have to do your own research, since most of the "Christian" leaders seem to be bogged down with absurdity.

Israel needs to form their own terrorist group and play the same game. Their job is to select a Palestinian civilian target and bomb it in retaliation, and the Israeli government can condemn the attack as the acts of Jewish extremists, but will do little to stop them (Arafat plays the same game). The problem with the current approach is that the Palestinians will attack and kill scores of Israeli civilians and the IDF retaliates by occupying PA territory and assassinating one or two PA individuals. Isreal can not keep lossing people at this rate. An unofficial terrorist group can give the PA their own medicine back at the same scale. Then the conflict comes down to who has the will and capability to inflict the worst terror. I think Israel has the advantage in terms of firepower and military infrastructure but not the will to do its. If she wants to survive she better find the will to do it or she will not survive because over 80 percent of the Palestinians polled support suicide bombers aimed a civilian targets.

G-d, we need Moshiach (the Messiah) NOW!

Daniel 8:13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain [saint] which spake, How long [shall be] the vision [concerning] the daily [sacrifice], and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
Daniel 8:14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days [evenings and mornings]; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

28 Elul, 5759 (Sept 8>9, 1999):

Evening: Knesset ratifies Sharm e-Sheik Memorandum by 54-23 vote.
Morning: Israel implements first stage of Sharm, releases 199 Palestinian prisoners.
