Couple killed
An Israeli couple was killed in a West Bank drive-by shooting. Military spokesmen said Palestinian terrorists were believed responsible for the Friday night attack on the couple´s car near Eshkolot, just inside the West Bank boundary.

Cold blooded murder. For those that wail the IDF is too agressive.

9. Really?
Name one poster here who said "Shit Happens" when Israeli forces killed an innocent.

Or retract the statement and issue an apology.

3. And a reminder

7. Why are the colonists there in the first place?
"A voluntary reconciliation with the Arabs is out of the question either now or in the future. If you wish to colonize a land in which people are already living, you must provide a garrison for the land, or find some rich man or benefactor who will provide a garrison on your behalf. Or else-or else, give up your colonization, for without an armed force which will render physically impossible any attempt to destroy or prevent this colonization, colonization is impossible, not difficult, not dangerous, but IMPOSSIBLE!... Zionism is a colonization adventure and therefore it stands or falls by the question of armed force. It is important... to speak Hebrew, but, unfortunately, it is even more important to be able to shoot - or else I am through with playing at colonizing."Vladimir Jabotinsky, founder of Revisionist Zionism (precursor of Likud), The Iron Wall, 1923.

10. Why shouldn't they be
Is there some reason why it's acceptable for the PA to insist on an ethnically cleansed Apartheid state?

Please. Tell us why that's an OK idea for the PA to promote and why we should support the mass expulsion of people based solely on their religion.

We'll wait.

12. Obviously intentional
Most terror attacks aim at killing innocent citizens. How difficult it is for some to see that. The terrorist groups are proud of these successes and will openly claim responsibility. Their only regret is that they haven't killed more innocent civilians. they will invade homes and kill babies, bar mitzva parties and discotheques as well as Passover Saders.

Innocent bystanders are sometimes killed in IDF operations. However, the IDF regrets this and will not aim to kill innocent civilians.
