#1 Have Arabs, have terror.

#2 Grom,

When are you guys going to give them some of it back? I'm not talking about "targeted strikes" but about car bombs set off in the middle of Arab neighborhoods. If the average Arab knew he or his were just as likely to be on the receiving end I suspect his support for such activities would seriously lesson. Until you make these scum fear for their lives they'll keep taking yours. You should scare them enough in both the WB and Gaza that they decide they're better off in Jordan or Gyppoville. Kill them at the rate of 100-1 and you'll see that type of fear.

#3 If jooooos ever attempt to fire back with terror, then, the israeli Gvt would crack down HARD on them (it actually already happened, there had been cells of wannabe counter-terrorists who were snatched by israeli security forces, and were heavily sentenced - no prisoner swaps nor amnisty for them!)... not to mention the fact any counter-terror act would make the World At Large go berserk, whereas paleo-terror is justified by the doxa. Can you remember a certain US dentist? This one is more remembered than the endless stream of arab terror, and is still shmelessly singled out.
Not a bad idea, as a principle, but simply not doable IMHO (today's rocketeers will pay an heavy price, I fear).

#4 Any counter terror attack by Jews would still have to be focused on land, as the only target Muslims care about. Specifically, the long term contamination of Arab land with something that would prevent them from living on it.

Ironically, this could be done in a covert manner and subtly. For example, fertilizer could be poisoned in such a way as to make the entire field useless, with a type of poison uptaken by plants.

It would not become obvious until people ate produce from the field and became sick. Possibly a dioxin, or even some agent that causes sterilization. Birth control for Palestinians.

#7 Bethlehem Ma'an/Agencies Ahrar Al-Jalil, a self-proclaimed militant group based inside Israel, claimed responsibility for the bulldozer attack in Jerusalem that left four people dead and more than 70 injured on Wednesday afternoon.

In a statement Ahrar Al-Jalil named the attacker as 30-year-old Husam Tayseer Dwayat from a village in east Jerusalem. They said he was married and had two children.

The statement also said he was recruited to the Ahrar Al-Jalil on 5 February 2008. Ahrar Al-Jalil also calls itself the "Imad Mughniyya Group" after the slain leader of the military wing of Hizbullah.

#11 "I fired at him twice more and that's it, he was neutralized," Mizrahi said, speaking calmly to a swarm of reporters."

Ah yes, neutralized, thanks this goes well with my morning coffee.

#15 The attack happened right in front a building housing several news organizations -- including CNN's Jerusalem bureau -- on Jaffa Road, one of the longest and oldest streets in the city.

Coincidence?... just asking.

#16 Looks like they want to destroy the terrorist's home and withdraw citizenship rights from the family

#17 A radio reporter at the scene said after the tractor hit the vehicles, a man climbed onto its cab and shot at its driver, apparently an Arab, several times.

Would this be a civilian carry permit?

I call it 'Night of the D9s'. Rig of a bunch of old vans with remote control and attach onto the front some silouettes of D9s and line them up abreast. Make a feint towards the border after dusk with a minimal smoke barrage - just enough to obscure vision but not obscure the move and start driving them towards a town. Have air and artillery drop rounds wherever a RPG tracer comes from. Do that all night, let them shoot their wad. Come daylight, make a real attack at the massed enemy combatants. Take the real D9s in when deemed acceptable and plow a Star of David into the urban area, take an arial shot and drop pamplets with the picture and the saying "If you think 1 Israli is worth 450 of you, then we will make it happen."

#18 A remote control D9 (Unmanned Armored Vehicle) might come in handy for purposes beyond random killing of civilians for publicity purposes.

#19 Moshe Plesser, the off-duty soldier who shot and killed the terrorist on Wednesday, was riding his bike down Jaffa Road when he spotted the overturned bus and a massive bulldozer tearing through the streets of Jerusalem.

Understanding that the Arab driver behind the wheel was in the midst of a terror rampage, Plesser, on a furlough from the Golani Brigade's elite Egoz unit, threw his bike to the side of the road and began chasing after the bulldozer.

Speaking with reporters several hours after the attack, Plesser recalled the sequence of events that led to his courageous action on Wednesday. He is the brother-in-law of Capt. David Shapira, the IDF officer who stormed the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva in March and killed the Arab terrorist who had massacred eight students in the religious seminary.

As he began running towards the bulldozer, Plesser said that he shouted out to onlookers for a gun. Together with another civilian, Plesser climbed aboard the bulldozer and began wrestling with the driver.

"At one point he [the driver] yelled out "Allah Akhbar" [God is great] and stepped on the gas pedal," Plesser recalled. "I drew the weapon of the civilian who was with me and shot the driver three times in the head. I think I did what is expected from every soldier and citizen."

Seconds later, a police officer, Eli Mizrahi, climbed aboard the bulldozer and shot the terrorist again, killing him.

#20 Wow, that video is really gory.

The kid is hanging on to the outside of the vehicle cab, and when he shoots the terrorist in the head with his pistol, you can actually see the perfect silhouette of a 6 inch hole appear in the middle of the mofo's head!

Vicious! Thank G-d for an armed public.

I'd much prefer killing only young arab men, but if it's what it takes, I don't mind doing a Tokyo or Dresden in the West Bank, and all of Gaza would be a nice target. The only way Israel can live in "peace" with its neighbors is the way it worked following the 6-day war - with an Israeli boot on arab necks.
