. Do not feel it, it is what they want. If you allow yourself to feel terror they have won. Terror ? No, I do not feel terror, believe me. I DO NOT. What is needed is compassion to realize WHY people do this sort of thing. If it is Palestinians this is a symbol of their frustration at being a people under siege. They blew up a few targets here- but they live with the destruction of their homeland. And the destruction of their children. And the destruction of their lives. Now they export a tiny fraction here. I am truly sorry to say this, but such attitude (the terrorist attack) will NOT bring about the compassion you speak of and certainly, this act WILL NOT get ME to feel that way. Yes, with this acts, the terrorist will destroy everything around them, just take a look at Beirut. I am amazed there isn't more of this sort of thing considering the luxury and peace we live in, and the horrible conditions in the rest of the world. What is that supposed to mean ? Frankly I do not understand your statement. That prosperity should not be what we should aim for ? or what ? The lifestyle we pursue in this country is nothing to be feel guilty for, The third world is in such disaster because their own leaders are a bunch of corrupt bastards, or living in unrealistic fantasies. I refuse to feel guilty to pursue a better life. Acts of terrorism are despicable and they should be dealt accordingly and swiftly. The US public at large has a LOT to learn from the Israeli people in my opinion. "Being Kind and Compassionate" under the fire of terrorism will only get you killed. At this point, the only response to these cowards is to bomb the shit out if them. No need to ask questions. Yes, there will be consequences, but it is worse to just sit idle and let these bastards take the lead, which will simply mean they will kill as many people as they can. They are fanatics and they are killers.
