Israeli woman and her granddaughter among victims of French Hill attack

Seven Israelis were killed, and nearly fifty were injured, when a Palestinian suicide bomber stormed a bus stop at the French Hill intersection in northern Jerusalem Wednesday evening and detonated the explosives he was carrying. The victims included an Israeli woman and her five-year-old granddaughter, on their way home from a kindergarten party. The bombing was the second in the capital in 36 hours.

Noa Alon, 59, from Ofra, had organized an end-of-the-year party in the kindergarten she managed, under the title, "Be happy, even when under pressure." A videotape of the party, which documented the clothes that Alon and her granddaughter, Gal Eisenman, were wearing, later helped family members identify their bodies.

Alon's daughter, and her 18-month-old grandson, were seriously injured in the attack. "Don't hide information from me," Alon's son-in-law pleaded to the doctors at Shaare Zedek Hospital. Doctors showed him his injured son, but then he was forced to go to Hadassah Hospital in Ein Kerem to locate his injured wife. Click here for more

Innocent men, women, children and infants on 9/11 in the US. Innocent men, women, children and infants almost every day in Israel.

Islam is always busy.

If these attacks were happening every day, say by Mecha, a Mexican group, that wants to take California,Arizona, Nevada and Texas, what would America do?

If this was happening in any country in Europe, what would they do?

I can guaran-darn-tee you, that the US would not have allowed this to go on to two straight years, there would have been entire cities destroyed in Mexico with the threat of additional destruction, if the violence didn't stop. Baja California would become the 51st State with Sonora next on the list.

Reversing the roles fully here, though, we would do NONE of these things, because the superpower Israel which lorded its power over us and assists with foreign aid, would tell us we could do nothing of the sort in common-sense self-defense from Mexican separatist terrorists supported from Mexico with sanctuary in Baja.

Further, the President of Israel and his Foreign Minister and also Defense Minister would take trips to our Southwest area, and tell us to restrain ourselves and that the objective should be 'peace' and a separate homeland for Mexicans, and it should NOT be the obliteration of terrorist organizations such as "MECha" which were doing suiciding bombings all over the US southwest at Greyhound bus stations and at Wallmarts and discos and bars.
