#1 The bombing came as Israel and Hezbollah were to begin a historic prisoner exchange Thursday at an undisclosed airfield in Germany. Israeli officials said the suicide attack would not affect the prisoner swap, which has begun.

Too bad its not the same one where the Olympic atheletes died. Maybe they could bring back the West German Hostage Resue Team from retirement

#4 Perhaps Isreal should dump the body parts on the bench of the "International Court of Injustice".

I know, it would be crude (and insensitive to the familes) but might just drive home the message that these are real people and not just numbers.

Condolences to the familes.

#7 Israeli's will never be safe as long as the Palestinians are oppressed. No barrier, no IDF, is going to stop this freedom fight. Do you expect people to sit around and be submissive while their basic human rights are violated, while they are oppressed. No chance!

#9 "Palestinian security sources said the bomber, who also died in the blast, was a Palestinian police officer from Bethlehem."

These people think they deserve their own "state". Here we have proof positive that it is an OFFICIAL POLICY of Pal authorities to blow yourself up. It's one thing for LAPD cops to behave stupidly, beat someone, and be promptly fired and/or sued. It's quite another for a "police officer" for a Pal government (which is ALREADY illegitimate) to be 1. on the streets to begin with and 2. be involved in suicide bombings. Clearly, the rule of law means nothing to the so-called Palestinians and they cannot be trusted to govern themselves or any populace who embraces life and liberty.

Whenever Sharon's in US or whenever some sort of a deal is around the cornet, duh there's a blast. Time to thrash the links between israel and Hamas.

#19 Hey #10,

live in a country every day and earn a better living than any of your Arab "brothers" are willing or able to provide. Participate in a society where your people are represented in the knesset. Take advantage of the benefits that living in a country that provides health care funding for your hospitals, whether you're there because you have a bad flu, or whether you've been partially blown up by your own bomb. Live in a country where even you you do kill someone under the flag of the most bestial hatred, and are caught and convicted, you won't be put to death because there is no death penalty. Live in a country that is still filled with people to whom large walls are reminders of horrible lives lived in ghettos, but would rather try that as an alternative to being slaughtered by the people to whom all these oppurtunities were offered and rejected.

International law? are you referring to the U.N.? Aren't they the organization who interrupted their weekend plans to condemn Israel for detroying a terrorist camp in Syria, without hurting anyone mind you, yet didn't have a word to say about the unspeakable bus bombings in Israel days earlier.

#22 Dripping Sarcasm: Israel is a democracy? my ass. Where is it's constitution?. Well guys israel has NO written constitution. In a democratic state, any alleged "illegality" would be dealt with in a court of law, not by an army protecting bulldozers from citizens throwing stones. For a state to claim a Democratic form of government, it must have an established geographic area accepted by other nations as legitimate and defined. Unfortunately, this is not true in case of Israel. The Knesset results in a system in which the members owe allegiance to the party chiefs and not directly to the electorate. blah blah. blah. alas But americans hear only what Sharon allows the corporate media in America to receive from his minions .....

#33 faisel has discovered a new arab logic here

as I understand it, it goes like this

Israel isn't accepted by its neighborhood (arab rejectionist States who, by the way are thugracies)
a state that isn't accepted can't be a democracy
ergo...

so by this logic, as long as the dictatorships of Syria, Saudi, etc. deny Israel's right to exist, Israel is condemned as less than a democracy

cool

by the way, England doesn't have a constitution either. both Israel and England have a body of law that establishs precedents

the other neat thing Faisal notes is his theory that Sharon is working with Hamas to kill Israelis to prevent peace deals

so this accomplishes a cool twofer

1. As long as Arab states are dictatorships that reject Israel, Israel can't be a legitimate state
2. Israel is to blame for Hamas bombings in Israel

this is of course the ultimate result of the Jewhatred education system in arab lands (and even in some US university departments)

#34 U didnt comment on the military use of force

Well, I think Northern Ireland is a good example of use of force. It's the cause-and-effect thing again; blow up a few cars/buses/pubs, and the military is bound to come out once in a while. It's because civilians tend to have little protection against flying debris and rapidly expanding gases.

Hmmm….I guess the USA and Britain aren’t democratic states because they went after bin laden and the Taliban in Afghanistan without due process in a court of law. Hell – they went into a whole other country! String ‘em up!

In fact, that’s EXACTLY what Israel is doing.

I think it’s hilarious that the defenders of Islam chastise Israel for not being perfect, when not one arab country comes close to being anything remotely like a democracy. How can anyone say such things with a straight face!

Unless they have mastered the art of self-delusion.

Yep, that’s gotta be it.

#56 Rhetorical hypocrisy is what drives the boondock elitist dilletantes who make up the rank and file left in this country.
Note that one clueless dry-drunk victim/shithead calls Sharon a monkey, then demands that all responses respect his own "difference of opinion." Excuse me, fuck-tard, calling you a jihadi or a terrorist-sympathizer also represents a difference of opinion, and an entirely valid inference from your own stated positions.

One rule for you, a different one for others, and the ability to define permissible limits of discourse are the pop-culture conformist definition of power. See 1984 by George Orwell.
Fuck off, terror apologist hypocrites, you can't control the language here, let alone enforce a standard that gives you immunity to opposition. The fictional Ministry of Truth had the power to enforce its edicts and abolish the language of dissent. You do not. sorry.
You authoritarian terror-apologist status-seekers are out of your depth here, so piss off and take your adolescent power-fantasies and second-string cow-college rhetoric somewhere else.
Death to terrorists, ruin and privation to the fifth column.
Before this is over, you 'tards will be reduced to begging outside porn theaters and sleeping in the abandoned ruins of your parents' chicken-shit businesses.

BTW -- troll-thing, if you had the least amount of spine, you'd be open about your identity. I post here using my real name, with an email account that goes to my normal email account, and giving a website that is my homepage. I have no problem standing behind my opinions.

You, on the other hand, skulk around switching handles on every comment, never putting an identity together in order to form a reputation. That's probably because you're the pathetic type of halfwit that likes to go start fights, but it could just as easily be that you're afraid to stand by the positions you take.

#64 Thank you, showgirl, but my feelings are anything but hurt.

An apologist for Islamo-fascist terrorism suggests that I might beat my "wives" (plural) and kids? How obvious can the pursuit of power through hypocrisy get?

Your designated leaders may not have told you, but it is Muslim men who claim the right to multiple wives as well as the right to beat those wives (plural) and, of course, the resulting children. This alleged right is still claimed and defended publicly in Muslim society; making their supporters and apologists complicit in its continuation.

It is reasonable to suppose that the culture of absolute male-dominance and privelege has a lot to do with the acceptability of suicide bombing among Palestinians and other Muslims, in fact.

It certainly accounts for their practice of hiding behind and among women and children in preference to confronting the IDF.

A bigger factor, though, is the knowledge that dilletantes and media power-seekers in the west will not hold them responsible for these actions.

#71 Faisal - it is not that your a jihadi or some bullshit like that - but simply you are an idiot. Difference of opinion yes - but get real man. When ranters see an idiot your loped into the jihadi group. Go back and read your posts - at times you sound like a jihadi - but that is the same as an idiot.

#72 Since the last suicide bombing, Israel has killed over 38 Palestinians and injured over 314 others. Only yesterday, over ten Palestinians were gunned down by Israeli occupation troops in the Gaza Strip. The UN reports that in the last two weeks alone in one Gaza refugee camp, almost 600 Palestinian refugees were made homeless when Israel bulldozed their homes.

Where is the outrage over the continuous plundering of Palestinian land, of
Israel's daily killing of Palestinian civilians? Why does our media find discussion of Palestinian deaths beyond the pale of the permissible and the
politically acceptable.

When pundits claim that today's attack broke the "relative calm," it unfortunately makes clear that Palestinian lives are considered dispensable and their deaths unworthy of outrage. Attacks on innocent civilians can never be justified or condoned, but we have witnessed selective outrage for too long. On a very basic level, media coverage could contribute to Mideast
peace by expressing equal grief and outrage at all loss of life.

#73 Israeli occupation troops
continuous plundering of Palestinian land
Israel's daily killing of Palestinian civilians

Gee, no bias there, eh? Every argument regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can be boiled down to whether you believe that Israel has a right to exist as a nation or not. Simple as that.

...yep, as they were trying to do the same to IDF soldiers. Must be hard for those Paleo gunnies to aim while hiding amongst civilians.

#78 #36: no i'm not a worshipper of a moon god. btw, did u know that the talmud is basically just meaningless babbling of some idiots that pre-date christ. Strange how intelligent people like you believe in such crap. i think you have a very important task at hand: to decide WHO the God of Israel is :-). And to the christians, here is how Jesus is revered in thetalmud: the bastard boy who "uncovered his head" and was conceived in the filth of menstruation

#80 As I said in another post, the only ones I feel bad for are the children who are caught in the middle of this shit storm. I have no irons in this fire for the most part. I'm not Jewish nor Arab and don't have much inclination to go to the holy land w/my bro's in arms to un-fuck it. (or send my son to) I also don't know enough *real history* about the situation to have a very educated opinion about whose right, wrong, blah, blah, blah. I get to hear the pundits from both sides state their case daily though. All I know is that we're talking blood feuds, incompatible religious beliefs, and tribalism that dates back thousands of years. Some of the above posts illustrate my point completely. From my limited observation I'd say the Israelis should be allowed to exist as a nation and be left in peace. The Paleo's should also be granted some sort of statehood & also be left alone. Both sides will have much compromising to do. Problem is, hardliners and assholes on both sides don't want that. It is an all or nothing proposition to them. Not to mention the UN is too fucking inept to help fix it. The Arab neighbor govt's need the paleo conflict to keep fanning the flames from their own plights. As for the Israelis, many of the ones I've ran into in my occupation or other circles feel the U.S. OWES them military aid and technology. Now, I don't have a problem w/an allie asking for help, but, don't pull that we owe you anything crap. I personally don't owe them one cent out of my taxes.
