This is the first terror attack in Jerusalem in four months.

Police had no prior warnings of a terror attack in the areas.

I am completly pissed off right now. Support for Israel has never been greater by me. Sorry if this has already posted. Long Live Israel

Long Live Israel Bump.

Every Israeli who gets on a bus is a hero. The busdrivers, many of whom have survived near misses, are all tremendous. God bless them all.

This can't have been the work of Muslims since they are such a peaceful religion. It was probably Neo-Nazis like the ones in Sum OF All Fears.

Very well put!

If/when this begins happening daily in the US, we will finally know how brave a nation Israel is.

One more entry for the voluminous acts of "religion of peace" archives.

FNC is reporting that many of the dead are school children. Time to clean all the muslims out of Israel. Period.

If it starts WWIII, so be it. The muslims can all die as martyrs.

These suicide bombers are from the pit of hell. A clean sweep is a good start.

Thanks for the posting yonif. Keep up the good work at Conn College.

Prayers for these little ones and their families.

They are either brave or stupid, but they are not heroes.
It's getting very tiring seeing everybody called a hero
like those people on the bus, our troops in Afghanistan, etc.
What term are we going to use to describe somebody who does something heroic?

And Israel ought to push the Gaza Palestinians into the sea, and the rest into Jordon or Syria.

I think the immigrants that live in Hebron are hero's. They live where most would fear to vist, standing for their rights as land owners. They refuese to be cowed by murdering blackmailers.

Israel is facing a war that most of Europe is willing to compromise their values to avoid. World War three started last year, but because we are wimpy and not willing to call a spade a spade it is spreading rapidly. How long till the politics of appeasement blossoms into a war on Americas soil?

God is not mocked, he says as you do to Israel, it will be done to you. The whole world will now reap a Jihad, as the whole world has condemned Israel for fighting back. Just like World War II started, so starts World War III.

I detest Sand Nazis more than the Nazis, as the Nazis had some honor...

It was probably Neo-Nazis like the ones in Sum OF All Fears.

I'm sure it was neo-Nazies. Just not European ones like in SoAF, the movie, but rather Middle Eastern ones, as in SoAF, the book.

Great line and true.


Why don't the Israelis do the same thing with Arafat as Bush is going to do with Hussain in Iraq--effect a regime change.

Are there any Palestinians that are "normal" that could take over and LEAD the Palestinians away from what they are doing now?

Sadly no. Most of the Arabs who lived here in the 60's have fled, we are left with the Jihadists. When over 80% of Palestinian School kids say they want to be bombs, it shows that there is no hope for peace. It also shows the power of Government Schools, something that should be outlawed in any modern society.

As long as they die....!

[judicial meanz]

G-d Bless Israel.
It happened in Kiryat Menahem in Jerusalem. 11 killed, among them some 13 year old schoolchildren.

Of course Arafat is "appalled" while he snickers with his minions and plans more death and destruction.

I am so tired of seeing this and hearing the moral equivalence arguements of pro-Palestinian morons. There is no justification for the killing of school children.

[goldstategop]

Terrorists claiming they're shocked shocked at their own handiwork is like the Pope having sex with a nun and being shocked at being caught doing it. These people should really drop the "Who Me?" shtick. Its getting kinda old.

It's time to expel the wild beasts over the Jordan River where they can do no harm.
