I don't know the proper Jewish prayer -- but I am pretty sure that they generally don't spell G-d's name.

The greatest sacrifice is to lay one's life down for another's. May they rest in G-d's arms having done that which had to be done.

Thank you for the post and pictures, CG. As usual, I can find none of the sympathy for "Palistinian" Arabs that is supposed to be earned by these killings and their retributions. I have no idea why Israel permits it to go on, in fact. If our American leaders tolerated such attacks, I would not be able to stand it.
