#1 This sort of crap is to be expected whenever Israel does something. So why didn't the synagogue hire a few armed night watchmen?

Me, I would have loved a happy ending, like "Molotov cocktail throwing man burned to death after being shot by security guard and dropping bomb."

#2 Like churches everywhere, Anonymoose, this synagogue no doubt has many more projects needing money than they have funds. I am equally certain the congregation hires off-duty policemen to stand guard during the high holiday services, when people could be hurt by vicious idiots. Buildings are replaceable, and anyway the damage is covered by insurance -- which I'm sure will go up as a result of this incident, essentially a tax on being Jewish -- but congregants are not.

#3 Number of Molotov cocktails thrown at mosques in major US cities after 9/11?

#4 Don't worry. I'm sure the MSM will be all over it just as they are all over the bombed churches in Indonesia...

Meanwhile the MSM would have been all over a similar occurrence happening to a Mosque.
