BBC

[IcommGen]

A Palestinian gunman has opened fire on an Israeli bus while it was travelling in Jerusalem on Sunday, wounding seven people, police and witnesses said.

"We saw a Palestinian terrorist shoot at us from the outside. He didn't stop shooting," a woman passenger on the bus told Israel radio.

The bus was travelling in Jerusalem's French Hill neighbourhood.

Police sources quoted by the French news agency AFP said the gunman was shot dead by police.

Enough is enough!

Peaceful Islam hard at work again I see ...

[johniegrad]

What I don't understand is how a Palestinian homeland in that same geographic area will make anyone safer or happier. Will these types of attacks suddenly stop? I don't think so.

[Bogey78O]

Didn't you get the memo? They are no longer to be called terrorists. They are to be called "Freedom Fighters against Zionist occupation".

Shooting attack on Egged bus at French Hill junction in Jerusalem

By Barukh Kra and Haim Shadmi, Ha'aretz Correspondents and Ha'aretz Service

At least 16 people were injured close to 4 P.M. Sunday when one or more gunmen opened fire on Egged bus No. 25 at the French Hill Junction in north Jerusalem.

Four of the injured were said to have sustained moderate-to-serious injuries, and the remainder light injuries.

Police forces and ambulances are at the scene. Jerusalem police chief Mickey Levy said "between one and three terrorists" had opened fire on the bus. Levy added that soldiers at the scene of the attack killed one of the gunmen.

He said that the gunman who was killed was a 34-year-old Islamic Jihad member from Hebron.

Israel Radio reported that there were some 40 people travelling on the bus at the time of the attack.

"We were travelling on Bus No. 25 to Jerusalem. Suddenly they shot at us. We saw the terrorist shooting. He kept shooting. He didn't stop," one passenger on the bus told Israel Radio.

The injured were taken to Hadassah University Hospital Mt. Scopus, Hadassah Ein Karem, and Sha'arei Zedek Hospital.

There have been several attacks at the French Hill junction this year. On February 22, an Israeli was shot and wounded by a Palestinian gunmen there, and on March 27, a Hamas suicide bomber blew himself up at the junction, injuring some 30 people.

Or, in BBC-speak, those nice young men from Palestine.

[Uprise]

What do you mean enough is enough? The Zionists have murdered ten times as many people as the Palestinians.

Time to give them a homeland. After all, this is the sort of government we want to see more of.

Islam is a peaceful religion. George W. Bush told me so.

Document your specious claim, or be known as a liar and apologist for Islamic terrorists.

[blam]

"The Zionists have murdered ten times as many people as the Palestinians."

If true, it apparently was not enough. ( I have lost any sympathies I ever had for the Palestinians.)

[ConservativeyetHotChick]

Well, I'm sure as soon as Ramadan starts, the Palestinian "Freedom Fighters" will cease from killing until the end of the Muslim holy period. After all, the religion of Islam teaches peace and love for ALL of mankind.

[Bogey78O]

Palestinians? You mean Jordan's b##ches, right?

[Bogey78O]

And another thing. We accidentally kill a kid who a terrorist uses as a shield and they want to kill every American and we're falling all over ourselves to apologize but when they purposely kill several thousand America civilians they dance in the freaking streets promising more will die. As far as I'm concerned they are subhuman savages.

[1234]

YAWN....

[Ciexyz]

In PC-speak, three Arab gentlemen from Palestine.

[veronica]

YAWN...

Is that what you said on 9-11?

[AAABEST]

What do you mean enough is enough? The Zionists have murdered ten times as many people as the Palestinians.

Obviously they haven't gone far enough, it seems they haven't wiped out the entire nest of vermin yet.

[Ciexyz]

What we see happening against Israel today, we'll see in our streets in the future. The savages learn what works and they see that the world turns a blind eye (just another chapter in the Palestinian fight for freedom, yawn. Israel brought it on herself. Just like the apologists are now saying, America brought Sept. 11th on herself.)

To think that the terrorist apologists sold the West the lie that the Moslems in Chechnya and Croatia were the persecuted ones. Wherever there's a Moslem population, there's trouble.

[dennisw]

I wonder if this will be shown to the ignorant Muslim masses who tune into Al-Jezeera?

[Anamensis]

Wherever there's a Moslem population, there's trouble.

Remarkable coincidence, eh?

[anapikoros]

Self defence is not murder - deliberate targetting of a bus of school kids is.

"Time to give them a homeland. After all, this is the sort of government we want to see more of.

Islam is a peaceful religion. George W. Bush told me so.

For GWB to even be entertaining the idea of a Palestinian State is absurd. I miss Jean Kirkpatrick almost as much as Ronald Reagan. Saw her interviewed on Fox News the other night. Not only did she say that Bush would be making a mistake to approve a Palestinian State, she said that it was interollerable that we were loosing the PR campaign throughout the Middle East.

Her solution? She said that the United States should render the Al Jazeera network incapable of broadcasting!!! I like her style. She said that this is a serious business and that our country should not tolerate the massive anti United States PR campaign.

Its time for some truth telling and propaganda silencing!

[demkicker]

"What we see happening against Israel today, we'll see in our streets in the future."

Amazing, isn't it, what we'll do for oil?

[blam]

"Her solution? She said that the United States should render the Al Jazeera network incapable of broadcasting!!! I like her style. She said that this is a serious business and that our country should not tolerate the massive anti United States PR campaign."

Al-Jazeera is a propaganda tool of the terrorists and a valid war target....as is the Pakastini ISI.

[ThreeOfSeven]

There's no excuse for harming innocent people. Palestinians responsible for this atrocity should be brought to justice.

Spreading her...."message."

[ThreeOfSeven]

Al-Jazeera seems to be an equal-opportunity offender. It's the only large Arab news outlet that isn't government controlled.

[carcajou]

Tell me, is killing someone who attacks you the same as deliberately killing women and children?

[crystalk]

Where is the evidence for this false statement?

[sheik yerbouty]

No, the Israelis are simply better shots than jihadist scumbags.

[sheik yerbouty]

Don't be sarcastic! Isn't she one of the 72 virgins promised to jihading nutjobs?

[xm177e2]

Or, in BBC-speak, those nice young men from Palestine.

You mean "activists."

In America, our activists hold peaceful protests for things like gay rights, gun rights, enviromentalism, etc.

In the Arab world, their activists blow up buses. But we shouldn't be so narrow-minded and judgemental.

They just have a different culture, that's all. We have to understand, they want to kill Jews, who are we to stop them?

[veronica]

Spreading her...."message."

Spreading her..."manure."

Oh where oh where is Jaunty, Iranian Libertarian, and docmentary lady when you really need them?

[Howlin]

Time to give them a homeland.

I understand Afghanistan will shortly be available.

[MaxwellWolf]

Should the story say: A trio of wise Arab gentlemen representing the peaceful and benevolent religion of Islam welcomed their infidel brothers as described in Koran.

[American Preservative]

sy, since some people have said Peter Jennings dated(?) her, I guess you'd have to ask him if she's still a virgin. LOL

Spreading her..."manure."

And so many are willing to eat scoop it up.

[Dengar01]

Looking at your bookmarks in your profile. You seem like an anti-Semetic. That is disgusting and I consider anti-Semetics no better than Adolf Hitler. Yes, there is violence on both sides. But if people were threatening you and your family would you shoot back? Or call the ACLU? Get a grip.

[piasa]

Jaunty's probably been busy filling up envelopes with the powder from anthrax pixi stix. Has she been around since Sept 11?

[Silvertip]

Obviously the ADL needs to start a diversity program to teach tolerance to the Israelis.
They could start with The Children.

They must learn to accept alternative lifestyles, religions, and cultures as they are all equal.

If only the Israelis would listen to the Palestinians, find common ground, and appreciate the wonders of Arab culture they could work together for peace, love, and harmony.

Peres, Annan, and Arafat need to appoint BILL CLINTON as high commissioner for Mideast peace.
Only then will there be peace in the region.

[Windy-Dave]

Well heck! I thought I had my INTOLERANCE under control until I found this article: TERRORIST_TERRORIST_TERRORIST_TERRORISTS ALL! GOTTA get back on my correctness medicine!......NOT!!!!! HEH HEH!

Enough is enough!

For Peres though it's 'enough is not enough'.

[Lent]

He said that the gunman who was killed was a 34-year-old Islamic Jihad member from Hebron.

You see that State Department declared terrorist organization above? You are an apologist for terrorism and hence you are against the U.S. and Western interests.

[cidrasm]

Police sources quoted by the French news agency AFP said the gunman was shot dead by police.

Just heard a recap on FNC just now that said an armed motorist with the help of 2 soldiers shot and killed the terrorist.

[Gumption]

There's no excuse for harming innocent people. Palestinians responsible for this atrocity should be brought to justice.

I'm sure Arafat will get right on that.
