A Palestinian terrorist infiltrated the community of Itamar, near Nablus, late Tuesday night and opened fire, killing three students playing basketball at a religious seminary, before being shot and killed by the settlement's security officer. Two other students were lightly wounded. Earlier, Jerusalem resident Albert Malul, 50, was fatally wounded while traveling with his cousin near the settlement of Ofra...(more)

These people are animals and they need to be put in cages, not given a state. What do kids playing basketball have to do with their "oppression" by Israel?

I have lost all sympathy for the Palestian cause. I would not give them a state on the moon.

[isthisnickcool]

What? No 2 year old children in their strollers available to blow up into little pieces? /sarcasm off

[Coop]

I never had any sympathy for those scumbags. You sow what you reap.

[null and void]

I would not give them a state on the moon.

I would.

Why is the American Press so silent on all of this??
This is sickening, innocent people are the targets.. Give them their own state my a$$.

They would only use the moon as a base to launch more terrorism. They are nuts and beyond the reach of reason.

[Darth Sidious]

I would not give them a state on the moon.

Give 'em Mars: plenty of water there, and it's even further out.

I would not give them a state on the moon.

I would.

So would I, but not the spacesuits to go with it.

Spacesuits? I didn't say anything about spacesuits!

I don't understand why the Israelies don't play tit for tat. When they Palestinians kill some civilians, the Israelies should drop a bomb onto a Palestinian apartment building or marketplace. Israel is being too nice.

These fanatics must be eliminated. There is no room left for diplomacy. The palis are not an adversary worthy of negotiation. They must be dealt with decisively. History dictates what needs to be done with these terrorists and those who support them.

When a nation is faced with a foe it can't or doesn't want to tackle militarily, vaporizing civilians is a standard tactic with a long history of practice amongst Western nations.

"palestine" is not and never has been a "nation," any more than "palestinians" are a distinct people.

"palestinian" is the term for the lying, murderous Arabs hellbent on destroying israel from within.

Nothing more.

[Justanumba]

Like their so-called Arab brothers couldn't give them a little piece of desert somewhere for a state. The Arab states need Middle East instability to keep oil prices high. They support Arafat and Hamas. Bush and his oil buddies benefit as well. Could this be why the U.S. is not taking a tough stand on terrorism against Israel?

[Alas Babylon!]

What are you, some sort of armchair military analyst?

I am retired from the military, so I know of what I speak. There is a section of military law known as the "Laws of Armed Conflict", which we call LOAC. All US military personnel are required to train in LOAC annually. I've had 22 annual LOAC sessions.

Here is a short course in LOAC:

LOAC FOR OPERATORS AND INTEL
 

Lawful Targets
 

• Combatants and Unlawful Combatants
• Military installations and airfields
• Military Aircraft (Except for Military Medical Aircraft)
• Infrastructure Supporting Military Operations
• Works and Installations Containing Dangerous Forces Identified by 3 Bright Orange Circles of Equal Size on Same Axis

Unlawful Targets
 

• Civilians
• Chaplains
• Medical Personnel and Facilities (Marked by Red Cross, Crescent Lion, or Sun on White Background)
• Hospital and Safety Zones (Oblique Red Brand on White Background)
• Prisoner or War Camps (Marked by PW or PG Signs)

What the Palistinian terrorists are doing is a "WAR CRIME" if they are a nation and a military, or just plain terrorsim if they are not.

The moon? How about Pluto,or better yet move them all to Saudi Arabia.The money spent on suicide bombings could be better spent building roads and hospitals.

Yeah,like they would do something like that. Its not just the Palestinians who need to go,its all Arabs.

[majordivit]

The truth is that the United States saves, protects and defends the PLO murderers by pressuring Israel not to respond properly. It is the height of American hypocracy and amoral to the core. Israel could have wiped out the PLO in two days if they weren't handcuffed by the USA. Israel is not just fighting with the PLO.

[buffyt]

I would give them a state in a nuke dump.
