Synagogue atrocity

yep, they should just keep poking the bear, what's the worst that can happen?

Very disappointed and angry with the PFLP for doing this. Hacking middle aged clerics to death is never warranted and does nothing to further the Palestinian cause. Some of the things that are going on toward he Palestinians in Jerusalem are horrific and I can see how it would motivate desperate and angry acts. However,randomly butchering a few praying clerics will do nothing to challenge that.

Yesterday or the day before a Palestinian bus driver was hanged in his bus. Israeli Police stated it was suicide before the body was even sent to postmortem. Israeli doctor also ruled suicide while a Palestinian doctor pointed out injuries on the body pointing to a possible murder.

Today a Palestinian man was stabbed by 4 Israeli settlers and is in a serious condition in hospital and a 16 yr old boy was shot in the face by another settler. Israel are "looking into" these reports

Also this week a young Palestinian boy and girl have had their eyesight damaged by IDF soldiers firing rubber coated bullets at their faces and a 10 yr old boy was shot in the neck for getting too close to a perimeter fence and a number of houses have been demolished.

None of this has been reported by mainstream media

4 Israeli's are killed today, seemingly by cousins of the bus driver who it is reported was lynched and the crime ignored and it is all over mainstream media, reported as "a terrorist attack". Double standards much?

We've been dealing with double standards and a turning a blind eye since the foundation of the State of Israel. Their blatant disregard for Human Rights and the UN would be an embarrassment to any civilised nation. But in a country currently ruled by a Zionist controlled government, it's merely a badge of honour. You also would have thought that war dog Bibi, was sated after the recent blood letting in the Gaza Strip. Netted him a large & unprecedented bounty in innocent Palestinian dead. But oh no, he has been ramping it up ever since, particularly in the West Bank & Jerusalem. More provocative & illegal colony settlements have been given his blessing. Far right religious groups have been allowed to act provocatively and aggressively toward one of Islams holiest sites. Palestinians protested, the stormtroopers were released and more civilians died. Tragically and inevitably, the attacks eventually spill over onto innocent lives and now Jewish worshipers have been horrifically attacked. Meanwhile as always, I've no doubt Bibi will continue to do his best to inflame the situation further, as he pushes us closer towards a Third Intifada.

Terrible attack, and will do nothing for the Palestinian cause.

Rather nasty of the op to have a go at "Islamic Moderates", considering that the OP themselves, don't bother condemning all violence and provocation against Palestinians the last few weeks. I also note *insert atrocity here* that the OP has failed to condemn.....

What about condemnation from American moderates (I know a few do exactly that)? Seeing as there democratically elected government are you know actively funding one sides murderous terrorism, and protecting it from any censure in the UN security council. Its bizarre you have a go at Muslims, but leave out Americans, whose democratically elected government, are actively supporting one sides atrocities.

BTW, should "Jewish Moderates" be expected also be questioned if they don't condemn the dizzying number of atrocities carried out by Israel? We could go all day with this one, about which groups have and have not condemned something to a sufficient degree.
