from today's Haaretz: Last update - 18:21 01/10/2001 Car bomb in Jerusalem; Islamic Jihad claims responsibility By Baruch Kra and Amos Harel, Ha'aretz Correspondents A powerful car bomb exploded Monday morning in the Talpiot neighborhood of Jerusalem as shoppers on the eve of the Sukkot holiday crowded nearby streets. The blast caused no physical injuries, but two persons were treated for shock. The Qatari satellite television station Al-Jazeera reported that the Islamic Jihad had claimed responsibility for setting the bomb, which was packed with nails, screws and bullets. The blast was the first car bomb in Israel since Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres pledged last Wednesday to implement a cease-fire. Foreign Minister Shimon Peres said in response to the blast that "Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah are the bin Laden of the Middle East and need to be fought without compromise." At the time of the explosion, the car was in a parking lot near "Tzomet Habankim" on Bethlehem Street. The blast set fire to some nearby vehicles. Jerusalem District Police Commander Miki Levy said the blast was caused by a large bomb of about 12 kilograms, and was packed with bullets from AK-47 and M-16 automatic rifles. Usually at the time of day when the blast occurred, the parking lot is full of cars as it is near a school for challenged children, but because of the Sukkot holiday the school was closed. Interior Security Minister Uzi Landau said in response to the attack that the opportunity Israel has given to Arafat will end Tuesday. "Beginning tomorrow [Tuesday] terrorists cannot be allowed any rest, even for a single moment," he said. Dore Gold, an adviser to Sharon, said "A ceasefire with car bombs is not a ceasefire that is acceptable for the people of Israel." The bomb set nerves on edge again in Jerusalem, where a suicide bomber killed 15 people at a pizza restaurant in August. The Palestinian Authority had no immediate comment. Arafat has accused Israel of having launched a military escalation at the time the cease-fire was reaffirmed. Israeli troops have since killed 17 Palestinians in clashes in the territories. Israel accused Arafat of not doing enough to end the violence and on Sunday gave him 48 hours to implement the ceasefire. It wants the Palestinian Authority to arrest 10 militants Israel considers to be "ticking bombs". Palestinian officials deny they were asked or agreed to arrest militants.

Definitely, but that is no reason to run over a people. The Christian missionaries had/have the same mindset you have just expressed.

If you really supported democracy, you would oppose THE racist Jewish theocracy in Israel. Israel was creatd as a Jewish theocratic State where only Jews have full civil rights. Ninety percent of all Israeli land is set aside in a Jewish Trust so that ONLY JEWS CAN USE THE LAND.
