2. Anyone want to bet that the suspects are found and either dead or arrested long

before the terrorists who burned that Palestinian baby alive are found?

6. Stay classy!

7. the settlers in this area are themselves holy warriors helping conquer that land for their

religion.

They launch frequent armed attacks against local Palestinian villagers. There's a significant body count on both sides. The shooting was on the Israeli between these two settlements.

This isn't a random, peaceful kibbutz in the middle of Israel.

12. They didn't live in either of those places you provided Wikipedia links to

It honestly almost feels like you are justifying these killings.

I'm hopeful you don't actually mean it that way, but that's how it comes across.

14. Obviously their deaths are a terrible tragedy

This is a horrid crime. What those children had to witness . . . .

The forces that caused this tragedy tend to get reinforced rather than weakened by the reactions.

3. May they rest in peace

And may those 4 children also in the car know peace in their hearts after witnessing their adults murdered.

5. Thankfully the couples 4 children were unharmed in this incident

it is tragic about the parents

8. It's tough stealing and occupying other people's land. n/t

9. Disgusting comment

Shameful.

10. Such tripe is increasingly acceptable on DU, unfortunately.

[question everything]

11. Please provide proof that the land belonged to someone else

and then was "stolen."

Perhaps a lesson in history - from unbiased source - is in order. But I doubt.

13. A Hamas spokesman praised the attack by the "brave resistance, calling the murderous act "heroic"

A Hamas spokesman praised the attack by the "brave resistance," calling the murderous act "heroic," and vowing to continue the struggle against Israel. The organization call for its members to carry out more attacks against Israel.

The Popular Resistance Committees also "blessed" the attack, saying it was a natural reaction to "Israeli crimes."

15. Just like those two synagogue murderers...

Hamas and the Palestinian media called them "martyrs" and "heroes."

Face it, none of the Arab countries trust the Palestinians, ever since they were given a homeland in Jordan, and they tried to take over over the country.

Terrorist rockets, tunnels made with stolen materials, not to mention they are fundamentalist Muslims that outlaw being gay and lynch anyone labeled "collaborators."
