Palestinian Terrorists Open Fire on Israeli Bus in Jerusalem
BBC

Posted on 11/04/2001 5:35:53 AM PST by 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.

In the last year 200 Israeli deaths, 800 (claimed) Pali dead. If you accept the (probably inflated) claim; Only 4 times as many, mostly justified (not murder).

I stand corrected.

I seem to remember watching a Palestinian child get shot to death in his father's arms on international television.

The Palestinians should have hold their fire.

Unreconstructed nationalist of the whitest kind. Hmm, let's arrange these words more appropriately, shall we?

Unreconstructed white nationalist

And since we know that white/black nationalists are invariably racist...(and anti-Jewish) then can we reasonably infer that your stance is similar to other race-based nationalist movements?

These Palestinians cheered and celebrated while my countrymen were murdered.

As if you do not cheer when the Zionist blow them to smithereens. Get a grip man and be realistic. You can cheer their deaths but they can't ours? There is no evidence implicating the Palestinians in WTC and you know it.

How dare the Jews be more competent at self defense than the Pals are at murder.

Yeah, the Jews are pretty good at massacres too. You want the list?

You are the enemy. You support the ideology/methodology of terrorists/ethnic cleansers. If you are serious, and on American soil, you're a traitor/spy. You are unAmerican. If you're 'just kidding', you should check into rehab.

No pal, I just disagree with you.

Yes you did and all the available evidence points to him having been shot by a Palestinian.

>What about last week's Palestinian Christian murdered by Isreali snipers? He wasn't yet a teen, nor was he throwing rocks.

What evidence do you have to substantiate that? - none, he might have been killed by a Palestinian who thought it a good opportunity to kill a Christian and get away with it.

The massacres that the Jews have perpetrated against the Arabs in Palestine are numerous and documented,...

Is that so? - numerous? - don't think so.

The first documented massacre of modern times was the Arabs slaughtering the Jews of Hebron in 1929. If you want to go back to the 5th century you can start with Mohameds massacre of the Jews as documented in the Koran.

If you want to start a scoresheet I'll play.

What's your first nomination for a documented massacre of Arabs by Jews?

but you have to dig around further than the Wall Street Journal, NYT, or Washington Post.

Ok, but you have to come up with more reliable sources other than Palestinian lies and propaganda.

And speaking of innocent ones being victimized in war what are your thoughts of the over 1 million Iraqi children that have died in the last ten years of allied sanctions against that country?

I agree that whatever the number (and its not >1M) these children are innocents. But their death has nothing to do with the sanctions because the oil for food program would work if Saddam wanted it to and not use the wellbeing of children as a propaganda tool to ease the sanctions. There are no sanctions on food or medicines - period. And BTW have you any thoughts of why there are sanctions in the first place.

If you seriously think Israel deliberately killed any of those Palestinian children you are simply put, a RACIST or a MORON, nothing more, nothing less.

Yes, innocent Palestinians have died, but ISRAEL NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER INTENTIONALLY TARGETS CIVILIANS. If you believe they do, surely you also believe America intentionally targets Afghan civilians right? How else would you explain the fact that they killed a bunch of civilians, right?

The Palestinians are the only ones who go out and say, "I am going to kill innoncent civilians. That is my specific and sole goal." The Israels target terrorists, and like everyone else, and less often then anyone else, also accidently hit civilians from time to time. Israeli soldiers are educated in a modern, western country and just want to go home. They have very specific and harsh orders to avoid civilian casualties, even at a risk to their own lives! I know this personally. Palestinians, on the other hand, are bred from birth to hate Jews and glorify martydom by taking as many jews with them when they die, and it doesn't matter who, kids, children, just as long as they are jews.

Only Palestinians intentionally plot to blow up kindergardens. I advise you look into laser surgery to remove that swastika from your forehead.

No, that was the second documented Mideast massacre of the 20th century. The first was the genocide of Armenian Christians by Muslim Turks.

"Available evidence." That is a laugh. The bullet-hole riddled wall that the boy and his father crouched against was removed by the IDF.

I think a pre-emptive nuclear strike by the U.S. on Israeli missile silos would solve that pesky little problem.

And what would be the grounds for attacking an ally?

That's right, I don't.

Get a grip man and be realistic. You can cheer their deaths but they can't ours?

I don't cheer their deaths. And, if you knew me, you would know that I have expressed my regrets at the loss of human life....even the lives of these Arabs. Of course, that was before September 11.

There is no evidence implicating the Palestinians in WTC and you know it.

There was and is photographic evidence of them cheering and celebrating the murders of my countrymen. That's all I need to know what type of people the Palestinians are, and what type of culture they have.

You have been processed by the media. In the first place, the children who throw rocks at tanks are civilians. These kids are shot by snipers. Do I need to spell this out for you? A trained marksman uses a scoped rifle to sight in on a head, then he lets his breath out, and then slowly squeezes the trigger, all the while looking through his scope. This is not colateral damage as in a bombing campaign.

Like Zionism? Oh but that is okay, because it is your race-based nationalist movement.

Yep, that's exactly what the Palestinian "police" are trained to do to the rock throwing kids, because they can always count on fools like you to blame it on the Israelis.

A kid throwing a rock at you can ruin your whole day. Especially a teenager.

I would submit that if I threw a rock at the head of a cop here in the States, I'd get shot to.

Suicide by cop. Anyone stupid enough to attack a cop or a soldier deserves what they get.

There are no sanctions on food or medicines - period.

"Madeleine Albright, Secretary of State in President Clinton's administration, defended the mass killings. During a 1996 interview she was asked: "We have heard that half a million children have died [as a result of sanctions against Iraq]. I mean, that is more children than died in Hiroshima...Is the price worth it?" Albright replied: "...We think the price is worth it." ("60 Minutes," May 12, 1996)."

What about invading occupying soldiers? The Palestinians have a duty, as patriots, to riot and cause trouble against occupying soldiers. The typical American consumer of television is clueless as to what the West Bank actually is.

Granted - but we were discussing Arab/Jew.

Unfortunately the world has forgotten the Armenians.
