A bus with children gets blown up and not one utterance from you about what a tragedy this is, in fact, complete silence.

I don't comment on tragedies in general. But it is a shame that Israel broke the truce by killing Palestinians. One can only expect return fire when one breaks a truce.

There is a difference between the sides here. Israel does not go in and purposefully try to kill and maim children.

Liar.

1. Israel has always targeted civilians, children included.

<<< . . . Defence for Children International, a Geneva-based human rights group, said that 463 Palestinians under the age of 18 have been killed by Israeli forces or Jewish settlers since the beginning of the Palestinian uprising almost three years ago. Speaking at a news conference in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Catherine Hunter, the research coordinator for DCI in the occupied territories, said, "Contrary to Israeli propaganda, DCI documentation shows that only a small percentage of children lose their lives in or around demonstrations or clashes, while most are killed in or around the home or on their way to somewhere." . . . >>>

Remember the Israelis who bombed a Palestinian school?

2. The attack you cited was not a purposeful attack on children. It was an attack on a soft target which happened to contain children. Remember when the most extreme, radical, violent Palestinian factions were about to sign a truce with Israel last year, and Sharon fired a missile into a crowded apartment compound? Sharon knew full well that children were there. Have you heard any American media outlet crying about that? Did CNN hold a candle light vigil as they do when Israeli blood is shed?

You are a racist Jew who hates Arabs, and you are just upset that a handful of Americans have seen through your B.S.
