#1 Attacks during the High Holy Days should be answered with a campaign during Ramadan. It is an element of almost psychotic cruelty to disrupt the most sacred celebrations of a nation. I realize that this is Hamas' precise intent and for that they should be liquidated, one and all.

#2 What does this say for Israeli-Muslims ? What does it say for 'moderate Muslims' ?
The way I read it, Muslims cannot be trusted. Not with your life, anyway.
Moderate Muslims, why do they hate us ?

#3 Moderate Muslims, why do they hate us ?

Because they're allowed to get away with it. Only when the West begins to ensure that equal or greater numbers of these so-called "moderate" Muslims feel our pain will there be any progress. Moderate Muslims are worthless. They are merely a silent resource pool for global jihad. Only active reformists like Dr. Jasser are worth a damn.

#4 There is more to this story than meets the eye. Maybe there was no actual attack planned, and it's just Hamas propaganda. Or maybe an attack was averted through some kind of intelligence operation (electronic or humint) and the story is modified to disguise the technique/source.

#5 "What does this say for Israeli-Muslims ? What does it say for 'moderate Muslims' ? "

It says that not all Israeli Arabs are "moderate muslims". Which is hardly news, Im afraid.

#10 Whoever the Israeli Arab was who lent him the identity card, he and his family should be stripped of Israeli citizenship, their assets confiscated, and the entire extended family deported to Gaza. That would encourage the others to think twice before helping murderers.
I'm absolutely amazed there haven't been more Baruch Goldsteins. The muzzies deserve it SO much....

#12 It wasn't lent, Mac. Either he got it through marriage to an Israeli Arab, or because his father did -- the reporters offered both possibilities. Which makes it simple: either his wife divorces him and he's stripped of his citizenship, or his father disowns him and he's stripped of his citizenship. Or the responsible party chooses to stand by him, in which case the family are stripped of their citizenship and exiled beyond the Wall.

#13 in Iraq moderate muslims are the victims of the jihadis, more often than not.

liberalhawk, I'm curious as to what sort of connection you might draw between the slaughter of so many Iraqi "moderate Muslims" and the fact that many jihadis, bomb vest murderers in particular, come from "moderate" Muslim homes.

On the one hand these "moderate" Muslims seem unable to avoid the crosshairs of insurgent terrorists, yet on the other, these selfsame moderates also produce many new recruits for global jihad. I find this contradiction to be quite serious in nature and symptomatic of an underlying malaise that, while not readily apparent to the Western eye at least still epitomizes the great gulf between what actual "moderate" Muslims should be and what, in fact, they are.
