One of those babies killed last Saturday burned to death in a stroller. I noticed that none of the Arab schoolboys died.

I believe that this "eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth" bloodbath will continue for quite sometime. Neither side seems to have had a bellyfull of bloodletting yet.

Look, this was wrong. However, it does not escape me that the Palestinians have been targeting women and children for months. That's their bread and butter attack. Perhaps the only way to get the message across is to let them know that two can play at the game of killing kids. As much as I detest the idea, I can sure see where some Israeli militants might be coming from. Frankly I'd like to see both sides stop this nonsense. I'm wagering that if the Palestinians refrained from any more bombings, snipings and rock throwing that it would be the end of the violence.

If so-called palestinan squatters were not in Israel to begin with, the same thing would likely have happened to them in whatever other host country they'd decided to leech off of, since bummery, as a people, and mayhem by suicide is all they seem to understand. And that host would be trying to get rid of them. Even if Arab, with likely even the bloodier of islamist ways.

"Suicide, killing themselves, is not foreign to their repertoire," he said. "So one can also imagine the possibility that they're doing it to themselves in an attempt to create a provocation, to stir up this population."

Sort of my thoughts as well. It's not outside of the realm of possibility for an Israeli revenge group, but it's hard to believe anything at all from the people who ignore and encourage their own citizens' mass-murder-suicides.

Israel needs to find who did this and hang them in public. There is no excuse for this sort of barbarism.

The Death Penalty is too good for these people.

And then they need to cut Arafats head off!

[VaBthang4]

"Anger" has been a resident evil in Arab schoolyards for a generation.
Now they are "shocked" to see Jews willing to kill their children too.

[Thorondir]

I doubt it was done by a jew. Doing things like this is just fine with Islam planes into buildings but not with Judaism. The seventh-century mohammedan savages are finding that the world is getting sick of their murderous cult. Perhaps this might serve them as a convenient PR diversion. Besides, I think the jews are too smart to leave the stupid thing sticking out of the ground for the arab dorks to get all THEIR children in to safety before it went off.

Way too suspicious for me.
We had better wake up and get as serious about our survival as the seventh-century savages are about our annihilation!

Maybe the chickens are coming home to roost.

Tell that to victims of the Irgun and Stern Gang.

Oh, I am a lefty. Not the disruptive kind though. I am not a freedom-hating commie, although wouldnt mind being tarred with the terms "socialist" or collectivist"...I quite like the term "solidarity" too. I hang here to see what you all are saying about stuff I read elsewhere. I do this to home my critical thinking and debating skills and try and prevent confirmation bias.

When are you going to show us those 'homed critical and debating skills?' You'd be a rare "socialist or collectivist" if you had much of same, to show. Start the showing.

[Thorondir]

Post something worth responding to ... or just keep disrupting and getting (justly) yawned at.

"Shock and Anger as Violence Invades an Arab Schoolyard"

They are angry and shocked but what do they think the Israeli's have felt since the 60's? This was a daily occurence for years!

[GeronL]

remember the suicide bomber who stood next to 2 strollers?? killed 2 infants! one of the specialists on the scene said seeing a baby without a head was too much for him

[Blunderfromdownunder]

Please show me where I have "disrupted"? I merely noted that acts of terrorism by Jews arent unknown. Evil is in no way restricted only to those of a certain race or creed.

[Blunderfromdownunder]

Theres not really to debate here really. Acts of terrorism should be repudiated and punished no matter who they are commited by, and no matter in whose name they are committed. I dont think there is much to argue about re my sentiments in this regard. On the other hand, if one is talkinging specifics, all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God, and all are capable of vile and despicable acts of evil (perhaps unlike many of those on the left are am quite happy about the acknowledgement of 'evil' as a qualifiable and existing force). Acts of violence, acts of terrorism and so on are not limited to one subset of humanity, never have been and never will be.
