Bombing Schools

Bombing Schools – Although there probably should be no distinction, yesterday’s attack at Hebrew University seems an escalation in a couple of ways. "More than 80 people were hurt in the lunchtime blast, which tore through one of the few places in Jerusalem where Arabs and Israelis still lived peacefully together after nearly two years of Israeli-Palestinian conflict."

Young Arabs and young Israeli’s co-existing? We can’t have that, it might spread as they grow up. Where there is a smidgen of hope for Israeli and Palestinian people living side-by-side, day-to-day, in peace, Hamas must blow it up.

"Israeli media said on Thursday the bomb was left in a bag and triggered by cellphone, but police declined to comment on the reports."

And they no longer consider martydom a big deal, either. The questionable sympathy they get from some … ”look at the despair that causes someone to blow themselves up for their cause” ... is hardly forthcoming when the bomb is set off by cell phone.

If an action could speak, this one would say, ”This is not about dying for a cause. This is not about killing Zionists. This is about destroying all hopes for peace. We don’t want peace. We want to kill. Arabs, Americans, Jews, it makes no difference.”
