| Terrorising Kids |
I went with Ishai to see the new flat Efrat and he have just rented, when we heard lots of ambulances all around us. Not very far from where we where there was a terror attack. A really big one.
Turns out a terrorist have mounted a bus that went from the western wall at 20:36 towards Har-Nof neighborhood. It was mostly filled with ultra-Orthodox jews (Haredim), mostly young children. The terrorist exploded in Shmuel HaNavi street and the explosion was so big it hit a car that was behind the bus.
There are 20 dead so far, 6 of them young children. Around 136 wounded, 40 of them children. (update: Dead count is now 22)

I’m really tired of this shit.
The Palestinians authority refuses to act against the terror organizations, claiming they “will not fall to the Israeli trap to cause brothers-war” among them. Even more, The Tanzim-Fatah terror group is also responsible for a suicide attack last week, and this group is under the command of Arafat - and Abu Mazen (Mahmud Abass, Palestinian Prime Minister) himself is one of the leaders of the Fatah. During the past few weeks I was pretty pleased with how things were going. I wasn’t optimistic (no one living around here can be, too much experience…) but I had HOPE things were chilling down slowly and going towards the end of the fight. Apparently, the Palestinians want to get the benefits but still have not lost the intention to continue terrorism.
But what is new? These guys got a tendency to keep shooting themselves in the foot. They were about to get 4 more cities to their total control by the end of the week. We were about to release more prisoners. Things for them were only going for the better while we took almost all the risks. But some stupid terrorists decided they’re going to kill some Israeli children. And the Palestinian authority thought “ho well, they’re Israelis anyway, who cares.”
Well, WE do. And as it looks from what the local newspapers and radio are reporting, the Hudna might be over from the Israeli side.
Don’t let them confuse you now. They are no longer fighting a no-choice war.
They have just allowed their brothers terrorists to CHOOSE war over peace process.
Addition After reading the comments left on Arab Ynet it seems that many Palestinians approve of this action as a “Legitimate reaction” to the assassination of Mohammed Sidr, one of the leaders of Islamic Jihad, and responsible for many terror attacks inside Israel. The reason he was assassinated was that intelligence had it that he was about to execute another big attack.
Now lets think about this: Let’s say you knew about the terrorist that just did the attack yesterday, in advance. You passed information to the PA several times and nothing been done. Wouldn’t you send down your own soldiers to prevent him from doing the attack? Of course you would. Otherwise you’d be just as guilty of doing nothing like the PA is.
The problem is that in that case, now all the Palestinians terror groups are shouting that you break the Hudna while they are being good kids. And now they have 10 other terrorists planning to attack buses inside Israel as a revenge. So, since the PA does nothing, Israel has no choice but to gather intelligence on those 10 terrorists and try to catch them. So where does it ends?
Only one solution (as far as I can see) - The PA needs to catch those terrorists themselves. Yea, that will cause a lot of mess on their side, and maybe they will have to shoot at each other a little, but Israeli police will also shoot any Israeli criminal that shoots the policemen, just like anywhere in the world. Law and order sometimes must be forced. IF you’re not forcing it, you just as responsible as the criminals. And you will never break the cycle of violence that been going here in the middle east. Israel have to protect itself. IF the Palestinians won’t control their terrorists, what other choice do we have?
To conclude - The excuse that this attack is an acceptable response for killing a terrorist is not only absurd but aggravating. And I’m not even starting to talk about what such claim says about someone that implies 40 children are an ‘acceptable response’ to anything.

Can i ask a question? I watch the news, and i condemn those attacks and attackers, but meantime why are all people crying in the Middle East? Israel is killing people, then their brother or father or anybody related to them want to take their revenge. This is not strange! Then Israel again begins to hunt people by soldiers and tanks. And I think if somebody must be punished, this should be Israel. You cannot establish a country over dead people. You hold by force their country, homes and everything then when they want them back, you begin to kill people. This is scandal. But one day world will not let you do this thing. You can connect with me,if you dont like my ideas, then we can talk again.
You are very wrong, Israeli’s don’t
Just kill people, like those murdering bastards who target intentionally innocent men, women and children. Israeli’s hunt those who hide behind their people shooting
At Israeli soldiers, Israeli’s hunt those who build explosive’s in their own neiberhood, who send their children to suicide bombing in Israel.
Those are the kind of people we are dealing here in the Middle East.
We don’t just kill people, we kill animals.
Allright, can i ask a question? what would you do if someoene forces to leave you your country? and after you give your answer, i will tell you something about what i think about your idea which is they are "animal"
I thought the intifada (violence) started with Arabs killing jews, when the Peace offer Israel and Bill Clinton made to the Palestinians was not enough.
I think you don’t know history.
