There are some serious crazies in the settler population.

Channel 2 said the incident was not a terror attack.

Sounds like one to me.

I've had a number of people who used to live in Israel tell me that Palestinian terrorism isn't the biggest problem the country faces. Israel's main concern, according to them, is that it is heading for a civil war between different factions of Israelis.

Jewish soldier shoots, kills 3 in bus in Arab Israeli town
By Israel Insider staff and partners August 4, 2005


Around 5:30 pm, a Jewish soldier from the settlement of Tapuach wearing a kippah opened fire inside an Egged bus #165 in the northern town of Shfaram.

3 passengers were killed and 6 wounded. The shooter was arrested by police, who tried to protect him from an enraged mob.

Paramedics had a hard time reaching the scene due to the mob surrounding the bus.

Only 5 or 6 policemen are reportedly protecting the shooter from the mob, Channel 2 reported. There are unconfirmed reports from an eyewitness that the shooter was lynched.

The dead including the bus driver, an adult passenger, and a youth.

How come this story is so brief? It doesn't mention who were those killed. It doesn't mention who the soldier was or why he did it.

Israel is suffering so much and all because of the incredible & appeasing pressure (much of it from Washington) to cave into the Islamic death cults.

Give Israelis the strength and wisdom required during this hour of intense problems.

Gigantic obstacles have been overcome in the past

If this happened anywhere else but Israel, the headline would have just read "Mentally unstable man kills three, wounds five others."

[TAquinas]

Sounds like a deranged guy to me.

[M. Espinola]

I was wondering if you display the very same anger each week crazed, Arab, Muslim terrorists fire rockets directly into homes targeting little Jewish children, stab or shoot Jewish motorists - simply for being Jewish, or how about entire bus loads of Jews - blown to bits by nail bombs made by Nazi like jihadists who 'want to finish the job' their 'Islamic brothers' began in Bosnia & Albania, willingly fighting in the German Nazi SS?

Just wondering?

Wow, the Palestians kill the Israelis danmed near day in and day out and it only gets a hiccup in the news. A settler who is being driven from his home, takes out a couple of arabs, and people get their panties in a twist.

Killed only two huh?
