Security officials in Egypt said he was fatally stabbed near the headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood, which had been set on fire.

I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said, and I for one just don’t get it

Does anybody here remember Amy Biehl? My hero was Bernie Goetz.

Goetz gets my vote too.

Surprise!

They got just what they deserved IMO. He didn’t approach them. They tried to game him. Well too bad...

They want to teach the rest of the world how to be politically correct!

Rachael Corry, Daniel Pearl, and now Andrew Pochter. What do they have in common?

They were all American. But Corrie wasn't Jewish.

They were all children of liberals, and they all believed with every fiber of their being that if they were only nice enough to the murderous serpents, they would love us all.

They all died as a direct result of that fantasy.

It’s the Jew thing.

I’ve traveled through some of the Middle East (including Turkey, Jordan, Syria, and Iraq before the war), and most people there already speak some English.

Asan American, I was welcomed as warmly as anyone. I could tell, though, that a Jew would have a problem in certain neighborhoods...
