Two bombs went off in Jerusalem

Two coordinated bombs went off in Jerusalem, a young Canadian Student was murdered as a result.. Terrorism. They loaded nails in with the bombs to do maximum damage.. Many were wounded...

The world was quiet over this terrorism..

I wonder how the world would react if a really big bomb went off inside Al Aqsa on say a Friday morning - I wonder if it would be as quiet as it is for the murder of this young man? His Father made it to Israel just in time to bury his son...

This is so sad. The "Palestinians" don't want peace with Israel. Their mantra is "From the river to the sea." They don't want the Israelis to have a land of their own.

@ProfessorPlum77 Incorrect. It's certain groups of Palestinians who believe this. It doesn't help to lump all human beings into neat categories as it misrepresents reality. Most Palestinians are not terrorists. Most Israeli Jews are not persecuting Palestinians.

@Abstraction The PA and Hamas who are their leaders expose these positions.. What you say is true however when terrorists are inspired to act and kill innocents then action must be taken... an example is when Israel is forced to enter Gaza or target leaders of Hamas to send an over whelming message.. When the message is grievous enough it registers.. How many singular murders will Israel tolerate ? - death by a million cuts one at a time...What will break their hearts, destroy their terrorist inclinations and get them to accept that the lies their leaders have fed them and have told themselves will NEVER come to fruition ? I identified exactly what will do the job and .. I mean it..

@Abstraction I disagree with your incorrect post. .

@ProfessorPlum77 Disagree away. I disagree with you. I'm not supporting PLA or Hamas or any terrorist group or action. Neither do I support governments who abuse the human rights of others. Have you worked in Israel? In the Palestinian territories? I have. Do you have any idea of the facts on the ground? If you think that the Israeli government is totally correct in their treatment of the Palestinians you clearly don't know what you're talking about or are just racist and unable to listen to two sides of a dispute. I've been there when the Israeli army tear-gassed a girls' kindergarten in a village unprovoked, for example. It was so normal the Palestinians did nothing.
Every year of my life there have been books, movies, documentaries or other ways of telling the story of the holocaust. They shaped me. What I learnt from that is to care about people like the Jewish people who are not the same culture as me who are being persecuted. That's why I care about both sides in this conflict rather than making horrific and incorrect generalisations about ethnic groups like you did in your answer.

@Abstraction 1. You disagreed with me, first. :) You must be a liberal. I say that because as soon as I oppose your supposedly unbiased viewpoint, you resort to ad hominem tactics.
2. "Palestinians" are Caucasians. I am Caucasian. So much for your remark implying I am racist.
3. You said you were there when the Israelis gassed a girls' kindergarten. How many causalities were there? Were you also there when the "Palestinians" attacked a school bus in Israel in 2008? Two teachers were killed, and five children injured.
4. I don't expect to convince you of my point of view. Your mind is made up. After a while, my patience will run out and instead of answering your posts I will just block you.
5. During a panel between Israeli and "Palestinian" representatives, the Israeli panel member listed a few achievements Israel has made to the world. Then he asked, "What have the "Palestinians" contributed besides suicide terrorism?"

@ProfessorPlum77 I didn't resort to an ad hominem attack. I stated a position that IF you think the Israeli government has never done anything wrong, THEN. Lots of Israelis also acknowledge mistakes by their own government.
