Bastards

30 injured, ten seriously in blast on bus in Jerusalem

How can anyone even pretend that this sort of thing is a legitimate act of rebellion against oppression? They blow up buses, not military targets. It's trying to kill as many Jews as they can.

UPDATE: Seven dead so far. And some jackass on CNN is blaming the bombing on the security fence, which is like blaming bulletproof vests for a shooting spree.

i don't agree with the security wall. It distrupts evryday life for the palestinians. The main attempt of the wall is to secure the israli land and to build more settlements. It also seperates the muslims from going to pray in the mosque.

Lookee here folks, you can all go bashing each others' figurative heads into the walls over semantics all you want, but in the meantime, you're missing the main issues involved in what you're trying to "discuss".
Before any of you go and label me as a "moron", which you may qualify me as anyway in the end, let me say just one thing:
Anti-Zionism is NOT equivalent to anti-Semitism. Anti-Zionism is against the creation of a Jewish state. Anti-Semitism is against the entire Jewish religion. To say that they're equal is like saying that liberalism is equivalent to anarchism.
Anyway, yeah, Israel and Palestine are a big stinky political quagmire over in the Middle East. Yeah, it's bad that the Palistinians blow up Israelis, but it's also bad that the Israelis do not allow the Palestinians the freedoms that we take for granted. Sure, we can condemn another Palestinian suicide bomber, labelling them as psychologically flawed and sadistic, but to do so would be narrow-minded and ignorant, further perpetuating the Typical American stereotype the Mr. Bush's cowboy politics have impressed upon the world. The fact of the matter is not that the Palestinians are horrible people, it is that they are standing up for themselves in the only way they have left to them. The Israelis ban them the right to vote, the right to bear arms, speak freely; they are even forbidden the freedom of movement through curfews. The Israelis speak with bombs because it is the only voice they have left. Put yourself in their shoes, and ask yourself if you would do in their place. Would you meekly accept the foreign invaders comandeering your house and land? Or would you stand up for for your family and speak with a voice of fire?
History has an answer, do you?

Perhaps if the palestinians would relent in their constant and perpetual campaign of terror, they would recieve the rights that they allegedly so badly deserve. If the palestinians deserve rights, because, after all, they are attacking women and children, NONCOMBATANTS!!!. The fact is, the constant terror is just the same as the Klu Klux Klan church firebombings in the south. Mississipi Burning anyone? All it is,is pure, unadulterated hate. Were these palestians white christian men in the United States, they would charged with hate crimes and sentenced to prison, not championed by CNN (Communist News Network).
