My favorite poster at my cube is a cocked 1911 with the words "Most people understand reason, compassion and dignity. THE REST UNDERSTAND THIS."

I'm sure Red Crescent turned the murderer over to authorities after treatment. They're ready for a state after all, and that's what civilized nations do with murderers. More likely, they'll hold a parade in his honor.
The Red Crescent reportedly evacuated the Arab casualty to a nearby hospital.
Two killed in shooting attack near Hebron in the West Bank
Two Israelis from Kiryat Gat were shot and killed in an attack in the West Bank on Friday, police said.
According to Israel Radio, the two men, both in their 20s, were hiking through the hills outside Hebron with another woman when they were approached by a jeep carrying several Palestinians, who opened fire on them. The woman fled and hid while the other two, who were armed, returned fire. In the exchange of fire that ensued, one of the terrorists was reportedly killed and others were apparently wounded, before the two Israelis were themselves shot dead.
The attackers then fled the scene, and the woman managed to contacted rescue services and inform them of what had transpired. However, rescue forces had difficulties in locating the place of the attack and consequently arrived at the scene almost an hour later. The woman was lightly wounded and was suffering from shock.
Police were searching for the perpetrators, and it was not yet clear which terrorist organization was behind the attack.
Meanwhile, a Palestinian was reported killed and another badly wounded in a nearby village. Early reports suggested that the event was unconnected to the shooting attack and was probably the result of family feuds.
Earlier, a Palestinian was arrested at an IDF checkpoint near the Hebron's Jewish quarter when a large knife was found in his possession, the military said.
Hikers in Judea murdered? Would this be the work of the People’s Front of Judea, or those splitters the Judean People’s Front?
I just had to do that. Couldn’t help myself.
Olmert, Rice, Bush, -big deal, they were in “the west bank”, they got what they deserved.
I would agree that terrorists are emboldened in general by the spectacle of Annapolis. But, barring some unlikely admission from the terrorist group that perpetrated this heinous attack, it would be impossible to determine if this specific event was motivated by the Olmerde regime's weakness.
Let's see if Abbas denounces the terrorists, and more importantly, he takes action against the perps and their terror cell. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for this to happen.
